At Wii version, we can perform the Kamehameha! (Both hands are pulled, and it pushes it out ahead)

Genkidama can be made by both hands' hanging.

Makankosappo can be performed by thrusting out the right hand.

Very nice, Very cool indeed.

And so apparently the Wii versoin release date according to the article is indeed January 1st.

Sweet.

Is it me, or is it quite tragic that that kid's T-shirt reads "Mother Shucker"? >.>;;

So as not to get yelled at... Wh00t! Wii pwnage!

Also, I've got a question about the game: Does DB Kid Goku have his rock-paper-scissors attack? I'm just curious.

Well I am talking when he is not SSJ4, he is still in his adult form. If I remember well Son Goku is a kid during all of GT except for the very last episode after 100 years.

Because it would've been a bother to make GT chibi Goku and his chibi SSJ, 2 & 3 forms I'm sure. And then having him go to adult size when going on to four. (Would be kind of hilarious though, Being SSJ4 and then shrinking back to chibi size so that a beam attack goes right over his head. >.>;; )

It's just another character to create. But yeah, I haven't seen any ozarus turning back to their original self, so there might be a difficulty for Super Saiyan 4 Goku to turn back to his child form. PS3 DBZ games will be overloaded. (25 Gigs per disc, man!)

And by the way, here are videos of the PAL version in French(?). So I think it's safe to assume that these background music are also the one we're going to get. (And Japanese voices too.)

I don't know about you guys, but I find the menu music interesting and cute. The player chose a bad music for a battle in that fighting video, so I don't know how the other music fits in if he/she was to choose other tracks.

I don't think it's as much to do with storage issues as to gameplay issues. One might reason that throughout all the forms a character might take, he or she keeps the same hitboxes since they remain proportionally the same, more or less. Of course going Oozaru is a pretty drastic transformation (and seems to last a while in the series anyway, seeing how the only ways to reverse it is either cutting off the tail or getting rid of the bruits waves, or however they're correctly written) and maybe because of the new hitboxes they choose to keep them for the rest of the match as going back and forth between them would be tough for the game, and could open up a whole new level of tactics that could be concidered "cheap". Of course, I'm just thinking of a theory as I go along here.

The only way to find out for certain would be to ask the developers. XD

The game is out, at a cheaper than normal prize, but does anyone know if the PAL version got the Japanese music/voices?

Wos, the PAL Intro sounds much cooler than the Japanese Cha-la opening, but I am a sucker for electric guitars.

Is Bra a playable character? :shock:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/code/932683.html
http://uk.gamespot.com/ps2/action/drago ... hints.html

According to these websites, Bra is a playable character when you complete the training mode with Vegeta, is this really true, or is she just a menu screen character?

Obviously. Piccolo Daimao, Kuriza and Neko Majin Z are also in Sparking! NEO. You just have to get level 999 with everyone!

Yeah right! And you can play as Super Saiyan 4 Goku in Budokai, and Bulma appears as an alternate oufit for Videl in Budokai 3 :roll:

I always thought we could trust GameSpot. :?

Yep. And Saffron Henderson will be returning to voice young Gohan for season three. Dammit, I heard preproduction tapes from off some website, so it's gotta be true.
