Please ... somebody ... for the love of One Piece's respect, get this guy to a properly translated fansub. I know, links are forbidden, but I just cannot stand any type of references to what that shit brain of an adaptation that 4-Kids started. Hell, I can't even call what they made "One Piece". Even if this was a reference to the Viz manga, Zoro just shouldn't be spelled in that ridiculous Zolo change. Sorry, I know this is an all-out DragonBall forum, but I had to get that out of the way.

Anyway, scans look great. If this game comes to the US, I no doubt will pick up. However, I WILL have fears with a certain company's possible looming influence with the One Piece characters. In terms of playing the game, I can't wait either!

Take it easy Conan.

(Even though VIZ started out with Zoro...)

The game looks awesome though. (Chopper using Nyoibo = Awesome.) I was wondering though...are they going to get the voice actors from the respective anime to reprise their roles? It'd be awesome if they did.

Whoopsie, my bad. Sadly, I'm afraid I'm still trying to ween myself off of 4Kids' crap-tastic dub, and I tend to slip with the names sometimes...

...I'm so ashamed...

Wow, I agree with Daizensushi: it looks a lot like Super Smash Bros. I can't wait.

VegettoEX @ 7:15 am EDT -- GoNintendo.com is hosting several images from the upcoming PS2 & Gamecube (JP-only, at this point) game titled D.O.N. BattleStadium. No, it's not a DBZ games...

It's a DBZ / One Piece / Naruto game...!

Slated for release this July 20th! If this doesn't get you excited, nothing will. (Oh man, and that's just a month after Super DragonBall Z comes out on the JP PS2...!) Let the comparisons with Jump Super Stars begin.

The actual title appears to be Battle Stadium D.O.N. now, but yeah!

Oh hell I guess it helps to read the front page once in a while (I have the forums bookmarked). Thanks for the info. Glad to see that it might have a Gamecube release if it ever comes to the states.

If Jump Superstars wasn't released here, why would ya think D.O.N. would be released here?

The three series' are all owned by a whole buncha different companies in terms of anime, manga and video games licenses.

Jump Superstars also had other anime series not yet released in america yet.

I'm sorry but aren't Zoro and Zolo essentially the same thing what with r's and l's basically being interchangable?

I'm just saying.

All the same, nobody spells Piccolo as Piccoro. Unless of course you go with the most literal romanization and write Pikkoro. I could be wrong on the spelling of that since I'm by no means an expert on the matter.

Not in this case, his name isn't supposed to be an R-L/L-R conversion. More than likely, it's just a 4-Kids cop-out to avoid any law suit threats due to the whole "Zorro" issue. Also, I've heard the manga author made his feelings clear to Toei that Zoro's name was supposed to be "Zoro", and wasn't intended to be changed for the R-L system in different dubs. I'd elaborate further, but this isn't the message board for this type of discussion.

Back on topic!

It's ashamed this game is likely not getting a US release due to all the different company licenses and disputes, and that's just regarding the Ps2. Hell, it'd be a miracle for the GameCubers to get an American release (considering they're likely never getting Budokai 3, Sparking!, etc.). If this remains JP release only for the Ps2, I suppose I won't have the opportunity to play it. But hell, I'll have 7 DragonBall Z Ps2 games by Christmas, that's as good a number as any for me to stop buying these console releases of the franchise.

I don't see people complaining about Marth being able to defeat Samus in SSBM. It's what happens in fighting games starring already established characters.

As for the import issue, all it takes is a Gamecube with a Freeloader disc, and you'll be playing any game you want, without having to worry about this game being dub-only,

Jump Superstars had characters from games that weren't released in the US yet. This game, however, does not. All three series have seen US releases. The only issue is ownership of the series (Viz, FUNi, and 4kds) being differnt. IIRC, the game licences are all owned by the same people (Bandai/Atari) so it's just the anime/manga liscenses that are a problem. It would be nice though if something could be worked out to port this... :/

Then you have to deal with the game being Japanese only which is, to me, a far larger problem. Mainly due to the fact I don't *know* Japanese. Can't read it, can't speak it, can't understand it.

Adamant · Post by **Adamant** » Tue May 23, 2006 7:31 am

Well, it IS a fighting game. How complicated can it be?

Post by **VegettoEX** » Tue May 23, 2006 8:17 am

Xyex...

I don't exactly know Japanese either, and I've been finding my way around fully-Japanese non-RPGs for years. It's not that difficult. In fact, it's almost painfully easy.
