I'd prefer Sparking 2 to appear on GC, more than the Wii... mostly due to the controls making no sence at all.

It has been confirmed (don't have the link now, but it is in one of these pages) that you can use the gamecube controler if you want to.

It looks like a sequel for Bandai's Let's TV Kamehameha DBZ Game (or something like that). They basically show the Great Saiyaman cosplayer demonstrating the game.


Also the other part of the image with Kame-senin & Son Gohan (Grandfather) is awesome. Looks like I can reenact the Son Goku (Chibi Goku) vs. Son Gohan fight like I wanted. It's nice to see some inclusion of early DB era characters, despite the no inclusion of early DB story mode.

Anybody know where to find the original version of this video? That is without Linkin Park.

FINALLY! Some decent videos where people actually know what they're doing!

http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DuiMbVXJaUN8
http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D3HlQvhvwOWs%26NR
http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DQ_FeWVsazZM%26NR

And it appears that they are using Shunsuke Kikuch'si music once again. Do us Americans get the music? I sincerely hope so!

(Tullece and his fruit make an appearance!?)

This has more then likely be said somwhere in those 50 pages, but I love that you can un-transform as seen in that third movie where Goku goes back to base from from being SSJ3 at will. I also noticed that their hair is blowing in the wind or when powering up, I'm not sure if that happened in any other games, I'll have to check that out. But for once it seems like they didn't use a hundred cans of hair spray.

I just noticed that Tullece was holding the fruit from the tree in that video.

Also dude, about the original version of the video, (without the Linkin Park Stuff) It is now on the official Sparking! NEO website.

Woah....nice vids. I want this demo SOOO badly, but I'm still not sure whether I'm going to get it. Also, that music BETTER be in the North American version.

Oh wait, I'm getting the Japanese version anyways... :P

:shock: Are you serious?! You can actually collect energy for the Genki Dama, leave it in the sky, keep on fighting, knock your opponent away, and THEN throw the attack at them. Freakin' amazing.

Yay, interactive loading screen. =D Sure beats idly watching Gotenks kamikaze ghosts flying around.

And yes, yes that did sound wrong.

Jesus, I'm so sick of Goku vs Vegeta videos. Need some different people! The Turles one was refreshing.

After looking at those videos, I have a change of heart. I think I'm gonna get Japanese version instead. Does anyone know the link for or know how to get the good, reliable swap disks for the PS2. Thanks in advance.

The full game is coming out in like a couple of weeks (in Japan) anyway. Do you really need the demo NOW? :)

Hyargh. I don't watch the videos since I have a bandwidth limit. You can really do that?? :P

You can check http://www.consolesource.com/. They have both mod chips and swap CDs. But why the Japanese version? Is it because of the music? Surely I like the Japanese music better than possible re-recycled music that was used in the original Sparking!. Other than that, I can't think of any other reasons to get the Japanese version. If it just so happens that the game let you choose between the Japanese and English version in terms of BOTH audio and text like IGN reported, what're are you going to do? (I'm hoping that is true, but IGN's just not reliable enough.) I'm not saying that you shouldn't get the Japanese version, I'm just curious on why.
