Just scroll down you'll see it. In the first one, at about 2:19 in there are shots of the Bardocks last confrontation with Frezza its like 3 seconds but its pretty effin cool. The trailer under it has more of the in game movies\opening\cinematic attacks.

Yep, they are old. Thanks for the link though. I'm enjoying the WarioWare video right now.

But this has been discussed before. Although, Fist of Fury is a whole new level of terrible.

I think it's better than Dragon Fire. However, I do agree that if it was used in the movie....*shudders* But still, compare the use of 'Fist of Fury' with 'Dragon Fury' in the game. And there is my preferable answer

And yeah, I've asked this question like 2 times and it hasn't be answered (nor am I going through 60 pages. I"ve tried that and I haven't found what I"ve been looking for)

The music. More Dragon Ball BGM, or is it new stuff by Kenji Yamamoto making its way to Sparking! NEO? If this has been answered already, then yeah, my fault =P

It's gonna be completely new music (no Budokai rehashes). Also there's speculation & near-factual theories that the "reversions" of the BGM music will be selectable with in the game alongside the new music for the US release. Right now, It seems positvely true, but we'll just have to wait & see.

Damn I will miss the Namek music.

I dunno. I've been going through a bunch of these videos, and've listened to that one track from the Japanese version that's used for the background music. It's cool that it's the original and all, but this 'redone' version sounds like it was done on a MIDI-making program or something o_O;

Forgive me for bringing up an old dicussion, but the release date is the 27th? That's the same day a Disgaea 2 and MKA's release... Damn.

Haha! European release date, huh? We Americans have nothing to fear on November 7th!8) (Although Call of Duty 3, The Sopranos: Road to Respect, and Tony Hawk's Project 8 looks threatening!)

To be honest though, those other games look very interesting.

Edit- Four new videos!

Some of these videos have one of Goku's alternate costumes, in this case, the one with the Kanji "Turtle/Kame" on his back and one on his chest.

Edit- For those of you who understand Japanese, it seems that some Japanese people are explaining some of the gameplay. One of the two videos below has the Genki-dama demo.

Sparking Neo is still my first pick. Although i do look forwrad to the new mortal kombat and tony hawk game.

this is a bit off topic but can someone direct me to a picture of a WWE wrestling game where they have the scouters for the character creation mode.

The guy doesn't talk especially about the gameplay, he just made the video to show differences at goku while transforming, plus showing different facts about different attacks (genki dama charging, different kamehameha's)
and pointed out especially the sign on Goku's Gi.

Thanks Kvon for those links. The Warp Kamehameha in this game is much better than from last time. Before you only heard Goku go "HA!" and fire off the attack which was silent. I hope it's as shown in the final North American version.

Booyakasha...

The people over at DBZonPS2 really know how to pull the media out of nowhere these days.

WARNING: Lotsa spoilers in these vids (the entire intro/story mode cutscenes/etc), so if you're one of the guys that doesn't want to half play the game before its released, stay well away from these.

If you don't have a media player that's MP4 compatible, try downloading 3ivx. Did the job nicely for me.

Original bgm from the series again, better intro than the crappy "monkey Goku" Sparking opening, world map mode...

If I wasn't so concerned about my Wii fund, I'd get this game in a second.

Yay, Gohan-chan has his pre-cut hair!

The final product seems different from the demos; it is very apparent that Goku can charge his normal Kamehameha. I wonder what other moves you can charge?

So amazing videos! Here's my opinions on them:

Video 1:

I have always wished to fly fast around the DBZ world like they do in DBZ (Not meant in a sarcastic way). It looks like you can fly around picking up Dragon Balls, talking to people, and finding people to fight. I wonder if you will have to travel to the place you shall fight next in the story mode like Piccolo did in this video or that you have a battle, cut scene, a new battle and then another cut scene (Like in the story mode in the first Budokai).

Video 2:

So this is the intro, eh? Even tough they used the same graphics method as they did in the original Sparking intro (Wich sucked) it was a way better intro. I was kinda freaked out in the start when i was excpecting another hero to show up after Trunks but instead Freeza's angry face poped up.

It looked kinda lame when Goku, Vegeta and Trunks was shooting at Freeza, Cell and Majin Buu but i absolutely adored Trunks standing on and ice cliff looking up in the sky, the scene with Majin Buu in what looked like space, the short fight scene betwen Cell and Vegeta, Goku and Freeza dashing at each other and grabbing each others hands, and my favorite scene: Vegeta and Trunks stading in the hyperbolic time-chamber just looking at each other, that was so stylish. Monkey-Bebi and Cell seemed to get along quite well.

The intro was good. It's nowhere near as good as the intros in Budokai 2 and 3 but it was way better than the intro in the first Sparking.

The menu with Goku and baby Gohan was so cute!

Video 3:

Man, that was one long cut scene! It was quite cool tough. My only problem with it was that the shinning on Kaio-ken Goku was kinda weird.

Like i said, amazing videos! Thanks for linking them!

Oh man, the new opening is HORRIBLE! I prefered the one for the original Sparking. This one is almost as bad as the Super DBZ intro. I guess they reallized it was too expensive to produce something like what they did for the original Sparking, so they tried to do something cheap and stiff like the Super DBZ opening.

Sebastian (SB) · Post by **Sebastian (SB)** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:46 pm

I don't like the lack of facial expressions in these "Sparking!" Games. That's somewhat of a big turnoff.

BrollysKin · Post by **BrollysKin** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:01 pm

Oh shit! I hated flying around in Budokai 3. Easily the worst part of the game. Flying back and forth looking for this and that

Fuck!
