There a new video on GameTrailers.com:

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2753

Scroll down and watch the "Fist of Fury" gameplay videos.

Question to all who had watched movie 13 dubbed: Is Fist of Fury the name of Ryu-ken/Dragon Fist in the movie? (I hope not, especially if they're using it in the game!) :x

The erratical "Dragon Fire" was used in the US dub of that movie. (instead of Dragon Fist, which I think was used in both DBGT and Budokai 3)

I still don't understand that weird Dragon Fire translation of Ryu-ken. Not only is it incorrect, but they got it correct like twice before.

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

Don't know where I have been but I have never noticed this thread.

The game looks excellent, but kind of the same as the first one.

Just have to wait and see I guess, not sure to get it on the Wii or the PS2.

I think I'll get it on both, just so I still have all the PS2 game releases.

Do any of you know if you can use the features of the Wii pad to play the game?

I know this is like 2 pages ago, but I wasn't around when it came up:
Why are we surprised when Dragonball games get no so fantastic reviews??

As much as I may love them to death (I'd give a internal organ before I allow anything to happen to them), I realize that they are not the greatest games in the world. They are good but with other more depth than these.

Firstly, I wasn't that surprised. When you brought this up though, I realized that it is true that DBZ games in the past (including Sparking!) are lacking in depth. Pit DBZ against Tekken, it's obvious that Tekken has more depth.

And secondly, I'm a person who doesn't give a damn about reviews (especially the scores that comes with them). I'll be the judge to evaluate the game for my own sake and pleasure. :)

I still like Budokai 3 more than Soul Calibur III.

Gah. Damned difficult combos.

As a matter of fact you can! :)

If you scroll back through the thread you will se links to numerous interviews with the creators talking about how the wii controller will be incorperated into the game.

And you can also find videos of people actually doing it. It's pretty sweet!
There is no better combination in the world than Dragonball, Cherry Pepsi, and Cheez-Its. It's a proven fact.

So don't post here. That's pretty easily fixed. I'd be more than happy to help you find some other communities that may be more suited to your style. Just let me know!

pwnz3ed.

Anyway, about the game. Can anyone provide a link to a good example of people demonstrating how it's played with the Wiimote, as in a video? I'm probably gonna end up getting the game for Wii, and I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into.

Heh, good luck on that! I have been looking for decent Sparking! NEO gameplay on the Wii for Wiiks, but I always find people who are clueless on how to work the game. That is why Ryo Mito should do another Stageshow for Gamespot of him playing the game on the Wii instead of the PS2 like last time! :)

Check this scan and relax.

Edit- Man, the folks of DBZonPS2 are really generous. They upload extremely high resolution videos of them playing the demo.

Did I say that. Somebody said the filters were there for a reason, I was simply speculating on what that reason was.

Then either put "just kidding" or anything mildly sarcastic so that we would all know that you are not being offensive.

It's not a big issue, really. As long as you apologize for it, in which you did. :)

And here's a high-res video of Beam Struggle.

Clicky!

Ah, so everything's cool again? That's good. I didn't mean to upset anybody. :D


I love all these new videoclips. Are there clips from this game's "adventure" mode up anywhere? I'm curious to know if you can actually walk around West City as indicated by this screenshot I have from the game of Goku and Yamcha.

I don't know if this is new or not, Iam not going to read through 60 pages to see if Iam wrong. If this is old news please disregard. :oops: But I found 2 really long trailer for Sparking Neo.

http://gonintendo.com/


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.
