Check this GamePro interview with Ryo Mito out:

It's nothing new except for their discussions of combo systems, what-ifs, etc.

Edit: And watch this preview video from Atari Australia!

Why? That's an easy one. It's because then they wouldn't be able to plaster 4+ Super Saiya-jins on the cover.

Nobody really cares about Yamcha. Not even Yamcha cares about Yamcha. ^_^

Hey, hey, Yamcha was a pretty cool character! Tenshinhan was much cooler though. I thought Yamcha vs Shen (Kami) was a pretty good match.

All Yamcha did in Dragonball Z was dying, again. And again. And again. :(

Could this sentence be spoken when talking about any other property. He only died twice?

Agreed, the background there is quite impressive.
There is no better combination in the world than Dragonball, Cherry Pepsi, and Cheez-Its. It's a proven fact.

It is nice to see some minor characters in the Story Mode.

Yeah, at least put the minors in the cutscenes e.g Bibidi, Babidi, West Kaioshin.

Does anybody know if there will be different controls for the "Exploration mode" and the "Battle mode" in Dragon Adventure mode? Upon looking at the Famitsu screenshots, I am starting to wonder if there are different controls for flying and walking, IF you can actually land and walk.

Technically..we did see several minor characters in Budokai 3's "story mode" (Dragon Universe). We saw Oolong, Yajirobe, Chi-Chi and others. >___> *shot*

But yeah. Every new scan, screenshot and movie guarantees the developers of this game my hard earned money for their game. :D

But no actual in game models of the characters. To bad that they didn't continue the Budokai 1 principal, those cinematics rock your sock. :evil:

Does anybody what this image is implying? Looks like they have a Saiyan Spaceship/Clock as gift for buying the Japanese version. Damn! They always get the good stuff!

Yeah that's a digital clock alright, I doubt they get it when they buy it, I rather think that they get that when they pre-order it. Like the previous Capsule-pen. Also, I marked several things on that image, one pic looks like a vague form of Chi-Chi and the other looks like a jellybean stage (Movie 12, anyone?).

EDIT : I noticed this and it showcased much shit. I think I saw Kid Goku (DB, [sarcasm] I was really waiting for this, now gimme goddamn King Cold! :evil: [/sarcasm]), some "Question Marks" (Let's hope they're playable in the full version o.o Super Questaya-jin!) and a bunch of black slots (Can someone please tell me what those things are?!).
