I don't like how they put the "Super" lettering in replacement of the katakana in the logo. It looks really dumb.

I see your point. It looks kinda tacked on. Like a bad superimposion.

I personally would just prefer them to keep the furigana if the superimposing is going to be that tacky.

Is it furigana? Excuse my ignorance. Its been a while since I last took Japanese & my memories of it are slowly slipping.

Also, I noticed that even in the translations for the game itself in the menus screen a lot of the letterings do look "tacked on". Overall, I'm not liking the looks of these letterings in the logo & the game itself.

Furigana is a line of kana used to aid the reading of kanji or other Japanese characters (for example, since Japanese children learn hiragana first (although I find it harder than katakana), a line of hiragana may be placed next to katakana in a workbook to help them learn).

Ok, that's being a bit TOO anal. Most Americans can't read katakana, so it SHOULD be replaced with the romanization. It's part of the title, after all, and it says the same thing. It's not like Sparking where Atari completely changed the title (from English to fucked up Japanese...way to go, dudes).

I agree with you & I wasn't trying to be anal, just expressing my opinion on the execution of the lettering feels "tacked on" as Tori-bot mentioned. I just feel they can do a little better, but so be it. I'm fine by it by any means, as long as the game makes it here to the states.

In other words, they feel like it was just slapped together in 3 seconds in MSPaint or something to that effect.

Precisely.

I don't know what it is about it, but it just looks "wrong" for some reason; I don't know why.

Same as above but with the release date.

Sponsor on main Altador Cup page.

There's reports that Neopets has a TV commercial out for their cup. Whether or not they sponsor SDBZ on the commercial I don't know.

Wow those screenshots look impressive, though I'm thinking somehow its part of the story mode the way its displayed.

If that was the Kamehameha pushing Cell into space, then I'm liking this game already.

Bloody hell!

Cell getting launched into space?! If you can do that...

It's probably a Mortal Kombat-style finishing move.

AWESOME.

I'm strongly assuming those scenes with Cell being lauched to space is somewhat incorperated with the story mode. However, if it's part the gameplay.....that's just fricken' sweet.

Alright, I know the image is small, but...US cover art anyone?

Seems like fans voted for this version on the Atari forums

Wow, that sucks.

I mean, it's better than 'Shin Naked Goku' but why not just use the original cover art?

I told you guys that was going to be the cover art at the begining of the topic. In fact, that was the first post in the topic.

Exactly. Atari's just retarded when it comes to the game covers. Though, they did wise up by giving more original Dragon Ball fans a Japanese voice option, which is why it boggles me as to why they can't be smart enough to use original JPN covers.
