Damn! That means that I might have to get both versions, that sucks! :evil:

If the PS2 game modes are any good, I think I'll probably force myself into getting both. :lol: If they don't interest me, I'll take online play over a few extra modes..

Same here. Although, that'll come to approximately ninety dollars to get both.

Did that trailer video say that the Japanese version was being released October 4th? When does the North American one drop?

If we're talking about Dr. Wheelo, uh, he did fight. Did you forget the part of the movie where he rips himself out of the wall, starts smacking Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Kuririn, and Kamsen'nin around with his claws? Shoots out giant blasts? Gets thrown into space and charges up a big ol' red planet destroying blast?

I have never seen him in that way... now he sounds slightly more cool.
But for me? I would prefer ol' Dildo Head, yup, from that OVA/Game Footage thingy (we have to be really carefull when refering to that not to ofend the religions of certain forum members), now Dildo Head sure is a character. Yup.

What am I missing...?

I'm going to this half-assed Atari DBZ website and clicking on "News"... but the last thing I see is their "announcement" of "Budokai Tenkaichi 3" from May.

An update was there earlier. It's gone now for some odd reason.

EDIT: Upon reading Atari's forums, the news update had a date of July 11. They must have taken it down because it was a day early.

According to the Gamestop release list, we'll get Sparking Meteor on November 13th-14th. The Japanese version will be released a month earlier on October 4th, according to the new trailer. I almost missed the release date thanks to the fact that I was obsessed with finding GT Goku in the trailer. :D

By we, I'm guessing you mean USA, what about Europe? Does it have any release dates?

Yeah, I was talking about the U.S. and Canada. Sorry about that.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that they haven't confirmed a date for Europe. It'll probably be released around the same time as the U.S. version. I'm pretty sure that Sparking Neo(PS2) was released in Europe only a few days after the U.S. got it, so you can probably expect the same thing to happen here.[Sparking Meteor, that is.]

Anytime!

I'm not willing to go through 45 pages of information..is Dr. Wheelo confirmed for Meteor? Thanks in advance. Normally, I would search for the info myself, but this thread has gotten quite large, and it's getting harder and harder to do that.

I hope so, living in Europe you get used to huge delays for games to become available. Hopefully this time it will be different.

Not that excited about GT Goku but it’s nice to have another child character that can kick ass.

Anywho I was watching the Tree of Might today and watched the fight between Goku and Turles running around and through the tree and thought, that would make a cool stage to fight on.

Not holding my breath though.

Not yet, but the Australian Atari site mentioned "new characters from movies," so I think he's 99.99999999% certain to be in.

I'm surprised no one's found this yet. I went ahead and began pausing randomly at the artworks at the beginning of the video, and you'll never guess who I found.

Veku =D

...Please?

And there's Freeza's generic henchman, too.

Are you sure its Veku kinda looks like Yajirobe

EDIT

Definately Yajirobe you can see the sword sheath.

Plus if you skip a few miliseconds when uub's on screen you can see clearer.

To me the hair looks more like it's spiking up rather than flowing back, but now that you mention it, it does sorta look like him.

Eh, Freeza's henchman is still there, though.

EDIT: Yeah, but his sheath's black, this thing's blue, and looks like the belt from the fusion dance (even hanging off of the right hip).
