The US Budokai 3 cover has got to be the lamest out of them all.

I liked it.

I agree in part but the part where you read it has "Japanese vocal track " and "All the Japanese version's extras like "Goku with halo" it made up for it :lol:

Am I the only one who thinks the Japanese cover art for Budokai 1 is the worst?

Meh despite a small inaccuracy on the PS2 version both UK covers look fine to me. The Japanese version just has a mad Goku standing there sort of like the American version of Budokai 3. It is just a little bland for my taste.

It may not be good for cover art, but that is one heck of a good SS(J) Goku by itself. :D :wink:

http://www.daizex.com/guides/games/
Legendary Super Warriors: The european one (I know only the italian's one) it's the same of american, but with colors for the bad guys, i think the best cover it's the japanese !
Collectible Card Game: It's a good cover, pretty simple, but good.
I don't like this game, but i'm sure thi it's a good game for who want play it !
The Legacy of Goku: The italian's one it's same, but the italian title it's really weird !
Don't looking good !
P.S.: any images of the poster ?
The Legacy of Goku II: My favorite game for the Game Boy Advance !
Funny, released in japanese country with better graphic, but with Falcouner's music !
My favourite cover it's the american's one and the worst in my opinion it's the japanese this time !
P.S.: The german cover it's this : Image
Buu's Fury: I love this game, but never translated in italian language, i buyied in Italy in english language !
I prefer the cover of the pack "Dragon Ball Z GT" with Dragon Ball Gt Transformation inclused!
Dragon Bal GT Transformation : This game isn't in that page, weird !
I like the cover, but can be better !
Advanced Adventure Well, the american cover it's this:
Image
And looks better than the japanese, but why adult Goku in the back ?
Ultimate Battle 22 : Well, the american's one it's better than the others !
DragonBall GT: Final Bout: The first official release has the lighting of Goku's hairs messed up, i think the best cover it's the american re release !
Budokai : Again, the american's one !
Budokai 2 : I don't like the american's one this time, i think the best cover it's the european !
Budokai 3 : I prefer the japanese this time, i really hate the american's version !
Sagas(PlayStation2) : I like this cover !
Budokai 2 Gamecube : WHAT ? NO JAPANESE RELEASE ?
The best cover it's the european one, like before ...

If you look carefully, it's Goku from the last episodes of Dragonball.

I always thought that was odd...JPN GBA carts aren't any larger than US carts, are they? Why're the boxes so much bigger?

They're actually not bigger. The boxes are about the same width as the NA and Europe boxes, but they're roughly half the height.

The European cover art for Legacy of Goku II is awful, same with the European Taiketsu (well, not like that game was good anyway).

Yup, It has International in it's name too, so they'd just release it with out editing any sprites or music, so they'd leave his score of course.

Actually they redid all of the character portraits that appear next to dialouge bubbles.

*wants to see*
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Wow, if only Atari had chosen not to mess with the music that came with the Japanese DBZ games like Japan did for our games! :x

Is there anyplace where I can see these updated character portraits?
*Is now very curious as to what they look like*.
