"Sparking! NEO" (PS2/Wii)

Two more videos made their way onto Youtube.com. But, ever since the advent of the second Promo Video, these look like crap. More features, nevertheless.

Yay, Slickmasterfunk got his wish! I was right about IGN not posting anything significant about "Budokai Tenkaichi 2" at TGS. All they did was post a new preview which contains nothing more than what we know. Go Gamespot!

What the hell does that mean?

Just saw the trailer and wow! This game looks so awesome, i never played the first due to never having a PS2 and i have no plans of buying one but since this is going to be released on Wii I'm really excited about this game!

The thing i noticed instantly was the cut-scenes, they look so cool. I cant wait to see how the storymode will be, perhaps it will go thorugh the whole series, starting at DB and ending at DBGT. That would be a dream come true!

Other thigs that amused me from the trailer was all the stuff from the movies, little Garlic Jr. figthing (I know he suck but he look hilarious when he's not transformed and fighting), all the Bardock stuff, Super Buu smashing candy-Gotenks, Giru shooting a rocket at Bebi-Vegeta, and the end of the trailer when Head-Cha-La was played. Man, that trailer was awesome, i hope the game is just as awesome. Spike, you better not cancel the Wii version!

This is for DBZ music addicts! (And maybe stage addicts as well.)

It seems like you can have the option to choose BGM by pressing the L1/R1 button(See the CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA?), the square button for random stage select, and the triangle button to toggle the destruction animation on or off. Hot damn! Atari USA will really have to consider leaving the music in. This feauture is just too sexy!

It's almost like Spike is doing more North American fan-service than Atari and Funimation usually allow. By adding two seperate soundtracks to the game I think Spike has just made it too much trouble for Funimation and Atari to remove the Japanese selection. Sneaky, Sneaky.

I'm giddy with glee.

That was my crackpot explanation for the absence of the crybaby Gohan model. >.>;; Instead of kidnap, Radditz could treenap.

Ahhh...how ignorant of me.
Big-ass Super Kamehameha!

I love that move Super Buu does in the second video. Turns the opponent into chocolate (or is it a cookie?) and proceeds to smash it.

Was it just me, or did Tullece keep regaining health during that first video?

Also, glad to see they included the famous "Piccolo kick" from the Butoden series/Hyper Dimension.

Sweet!

I love that in Super Buu's transformations you can see him absorbing the person!

That looks great!

This game gets better and better.

People has been busy posting up videos of them playing the demo disc.

In the second video, you can actually see the Genki-dama growing in size as Goku charges it each time!

I've always liked the Kaio-ken. And that genki-dama looks great!

There was an ad with the new One Piece episode.

Speaking of Kaio-ken, when are they going to do something drastic about the auras? Can't they look like this?

Certainly Dimps did a terrific job on Goku's Kaio-ken aura in Budokai 3, but come on, Spike! I have been rooting for you since the last Sparking! game. (I know, fanboy whines.)

Of course! It would be funny to commit suicide by flying into the floating 'bomb'.

Or, by flying into the Spirit Bomb, absorb it!

I really hope that you can do the super Genki-dama on your own now.

Just charge it when being normal and then BAM supersaya-jin supergenki-Dama on your ass!

And yes the aura's in Sparking are really lame. The auras from budokai 3 are by far the best at this moment!

This is the exact reason why Spike should stop limiting the characters' moves within the Blast 1, Blast 2 (Blast 1 and 2 each have one favorite technique and one death move(?)), and one Ultimate. From the videos we saw, I can only guess that Goku has to be in base form to execute Genki-dama since the demo only throws it down after Sparking/max power mode, indicating an ultimate move. What about Goku's other forms and their ultimates? SSJ Goku has his Shunkan Ido Kamehameha, I haven't seen SSJ2 yet, SSJ3 and SSJ4 (as shown in Gamespot stage show) have Ryu-ken for their ultimates. It's very unlikely that Spike is going to include a second ultimate atttack for the characters, UNLESS they are customizable. So kindertuin, you want Super Genki-dama? Join the club. Even though all evidence points to the other direction, I would very much like your idea to be added in.

Well, I may be wrong so don't go by this, but I seem to recall hearing them say in an interview, that the attacks will be like they were in the original Budokais, where you could choose what attacks characters have.

I believe it was at the first E3 interview we saw.
