Plus it happens to be an entirely valid spelling, so I'm not sure what your problem is. I doubt it was worth complaining though.
Sheesh! Are we really going to get into a thing about this>>"ô"<<stupid thing?

Oliver, I think EX was just making an observation. I don't think he meant for you to take offense initially. And EX, you're the administrator; couldn't you just play God and use the word filter system if you wanted? It'd be nice if this post didn't get locked and/or somebody didn't get banned over something so utterly dumb-ass, because I sure can see it heading in that direction.

SO BACK TO SPARKING! NEO/BUDOKAI TENKAICHI 2: I'd like to see Neko Majin added, too. But what do you think the possibilities really are that that'll happen? Was Kuriza that popular a character that they might consider adding other "non-canon" fighters?

(. . . no, I'm not being sarcastic or putting down the whole idea; it's a serious question. I think Onio would be cool.)

Still, if only to imagine the attacks they could give him . . . but here's something: who would his voice be? He's never been animated, right?

US Trailer.
If it was, then it was probably some twenty pages ago. Nice to have a refresher every couple hundred posts, I suppose. Thanks, EvilGamerX!

Hmm . . . I don't know about this trailer, though . . .

Because the store buys them for less and sells them for more. They make more profit.
Olivier Hague wrote: And again, how did they get the used games in the first place? They bought it from people. Illegally, according to you.
See the problem?
Stop putting words in my mouth, I never said, nor even implied that it was illegal. It's NOT illegal. It's common sense. THEY BUY GAMES FROM PEOPLE FOR LESS MONEY, THEN SELL THEM BACK TO THE PUBLIC FOR MORE THEN THEY BOUGHT IT. They can do that because they have a contract that says so. You, nor anyone here has a contract to legally do that.

I'm done with this.


As for the topic on hand. They better have King Piccolo, I'll be shocked if they don't...

Well, it sure wasn't worded in a very nice way.

And I'm afraid you're wrong, too. You can sell your games to whomever you want. That's the first sale doctrine.
Japanese video game publishers (Enix and Capcom, I believe?) tried to change that in Japan, and failed (Supreme Court ruling in April 2002).

What I don't get right now is why is this argument still being present after both side had shared their thoughts. The way I do things during an argument is to either accept the other side's opinion, or just agree on the surface if you think you're right and drop the issue already. You don't have to be afraid that the audience would believe whoever spoke last concerning the issue. WE will decide who's correct. Nobody needs to share their knowledge when useless bickering is involved. And besides, you can start another topic with this argument as the main argument and leave this thread alone. We, viewers of this thread, only wants to see the news of this game, not bickering.

I like how you have to move the controller to do a kamehameha. You move the controlers toward your body then back toward the screen. I wonder if it will be the same with every beam attack? I've heard that you do the Spirit Bomb by holding the controler in the air above your head, is this true? I wonder if multiple specials are carried out in a same fashion, for instance do you seperate the wii-mote from the joystick attachment then move them quickly together to mimic a final flash? That would be pretty cool.

I think Neko majin's voices are really near those of fat Boo.
Would be cool to have him included in the game.

I will be happy if Piccolo gets rights costumes right though.
Its four.. counting with Nail and Daimao.

Wow, that guy on the BT2 panel really didn't know what he was doing. :D

But I'm pleased to hear it may be available for the Wii launch.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Well, didn't Neko Majin make an appearence in a game not to long ago?

I don't think he spoke, but did he do any kind of yell at all?
There is no better combination in the world than Dragonball, Cherry Pepsi, and Cheez-Its. It's a proven fact.

Sweet, at least you can have Grandpa Gohan without the mask. I love that they included the Buff Roshi, that is quite possibilty the main reason why I'm getting this game.

What is the game on the bottom half of the page? It sure doesn't look like Sparking! NEO. It says Let's TV, must be the sequal to that other game that you just plug into the TV.

Ha ha.
A Nintendo representative (Reggie) said that the Wii system is region-free, so this allows us a bit of strategy in how we buy.
Atari (at least Atari of North America)will see this as 'MORE MONEY!". I'm thinking third-party developers will try to get around the problem of players importing Japanese games by releasing the game in ALL 3 regions (Only with a language option or somewhat). But that's my thought.

Back on topic, I think that ad DOES show the sequel to that TV thing. Funny stuff.
will be happy if Piccolo gets rights costumes right though.

...Piccolo will be playing as Nail in this game? (I mean as in the costume? It's definately Nail?)

Really.....

Be patiend, my friend. Piccolo Daimao might be an alternate costume for piccolo and who knows? That costume might be used during parts of the DB story mode (if it exists, that is).

An alternative costume isn't good enough. They don't have the same techniques at all...

The Barukimaha or whatever it was called?
Most of Piccolo's early techniques were Daimao's, so yeah =D

Hell yeah, he used finger beams, eye beams, super mouth blasts and his special which would be the Barukimaha or whatever Eclipse said, which was a huge ki attack. He'd be an awesome addition to Sparking Neo. Simply put, he was the build that most other villians were thought on. He's the original badass! I checked my manga, and he also has an attack like Freeza and Nappa. It's like when Nappa raising two fingers and when Freeza lifts his palm upward. King Piccolo powers up and swipes his hand and shit blows up everywhere.
