See, that never makes sence to me. They had had to save space last year so they had to cut one of Coolers forms. Fine. This year there are billion more people plus Coolers other transformation. What? How did they not have space last year for one more transformation but this year its like oh ok lets put every fighter that was ever in the Dragon Universe and there Mothers, plus lets give them all alternate outfits. What?

Unless this is all exclusive to Wii and the PS3 Then I can see that.

The more developers work with a console, the more they learn about it's capabilities. It's altogether possible that fitting all of Cooler's forms on a PS2 disc did not seem viable during Sparking's development, but now that Spike has had more time with the console, they have a better idea of how to compress the data to have him fit.

New vid. Looks like Master Roshi's Island is a new arena.

Wow!

The music is really awesome, and I'm lovin' those sound effects on Namek (the sound of the electricity).

The sky looks great too.

Same reason why they said they couldn't fit Japanese voices into Budokai yet several years later could for Budokai 3's Greatest Hits and Budokai Tenkaichi.

As for the new trailer, damn. I'm definately convinced this is 100x better than the original.

About the costumes, I think it would be better to pick them seperately, I mean, seeing GT Goku transform into adult SSJ3 would ruin it for me. I've always wanted to play as a mini SSJ3 *chuckle, those thick eyebrows are so cute!*(I say and mean that in the manliest way possible

)

They actually lack eyebrows, ha ha.

Shocking Newz! Anyhow, any news on new characters?

I think there needs to be three Gokus; chibi DB Goku, DBZ Goku (with SSJ-SSJ3) and chibi GT Goku, with SSJ, SSJ2, SSJ3, and SSJ4.

Not only because it would be fun to play another pint sized SSJ3, but because I feel DBZ and GT need to be kept seperate as much as possible.

I'd prefer if both Z Goku and GT Goku could both go SSJ4. Only, GT Goku would yellow trousers and Z Goku would have orange trousers instead of magic colour changing ones. =P

Check out the site and look at the upper left corner:

GASP! The Cover. Looks like a reprise from Budokai 3, except that it's Trunks on the cover. I can't wait to compare it to the Japanese cover art. Meri should be very happy with this though.

Ugh. I hope that's not the final cover at all.
It doesn't even look like the hand matches the rest of him. For one, it's not shaded at all, and I don't even know if it's using the same skintone.
Who even holds their sword like that? When you look at how the rest of his body is, the hand being posed like that is just awkward.

Jebus. Who the heck makes these things??

He's holding it like that, 'cause in the larger version of that pic you can see Kid Goku, Goku and SSJ4 Goku reflected in his sword.
Personaly, i love the box art.

Holy... WOW! Excellent box art! I'm telling you, that's done with style.

Personally, I don't like it. I even think the "Naked Goku Shin Budokai" cover has this one beat. I do like that Cell one though.

Uhg, that flash animation style looks totally horrid. If there going to put Trunks on the cover I hope they don't pick that. That is so effin ugly. Also on top of not only being an ugly re-drawing flash style picture of Trunks, but its an ugly re-drawing flash style picture of Trunks from one of those poorly drawn episodes. Damn, that sucks big time. Come on Atari, show us some love...just a little?

Dominator · Post by **Dominator** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 11:53 am

Look, even the background is showing through his hairline! Cheap, they have tons of artists and use some godawful FLASH work that lacks detail and is reminiscent of the cutscenes from Ultimate Battle 22. That sword pose is pretty generic too now.

hopefully this will be a Wii launch title

At first the cover looked good, but, ugh, I hate it when Toei doesn't get to do the cover art. This one's just sad.

Tanooki Kuribo · Post by **Tanooki Kuribo** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 12:18 pm

The flash look is not good for Anime at all, well maybe if its done right. It just sucks all the detail out of the pictures.

What do you think this is?

Thats Trunks fingers, flash version of course.

Saiyan · Post by **Saiyan** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 1:20 pm

I actually liked the Cell cover...This one blows.

Well, hopefully, they come out with a better version, and this is just a concept of what Trunks' pose will look like.
