The only horrible sucky thing about the 360 is the size :x
Now PS3, there's a horrible sucky console, in my opinion.
I want a Wii, but I don't want to play Dragonball in the Wii <_< the gameplay sounds silly and Nintendo controllers always sucked for fighting games.

That's funny sarcasm xD

But let's get back on topic, people. Has anything happened since we found this leaked stuff?

There's nothing wrong with any of the Next-Gen systems or the Wii. I you got a chance to watch any of the E3 coverage on G4 you would have seen that all three consoles have some cool stuff coming out this fall.

If the Sparking! series does continue past into the PS3 lets atleast hope that they start to incorporate a lot more and better ideas into it. But at the least we can hope to get all the playable characters from all three series, movies, specials, walkthroughs, and related series.

I'm going to predict that after this game, we're only gonna see Wii-exclusive Dragon Ball games for a little while, or at least until the PS3 can prove it's worthiness. I don't think we'll be seeing a 360 DB game just cause it hasn't happened already. I personally would be fine with it, but I like the 360 and am a huge Halo fanboy (waits for Sept. 25 patiently).

Dragon Ball Online will be for the 360, but I think that's going to the only DB game for that system.

The Wii's 'classic' controller is basicly configured like the PS2 controller. And the PS2 controller is damn good for fighting games. Not as good as the N64 controller was (6 face buttons beats four) but still good.

Dragonball Online is only coming to the 360 because it's a PC game and, let's face it, the 360 is a PC pretending to be a console. :?

Funny how you talk about all these glitches when I've never had them. I guess other releases had issues besides the original japanese version.

Well, obviously, English audio glitches wont be found on the orginal JP version. But gameplay elements like this exist in all versions. If you've not noticed that, for a number of characters, several (and sometimes most) of the blasts in their 'energy barrage' type attacks miss then you haven't even played the game. :roll:

Yeah, most characters fire around 10 ki balls, and only two or three land unless you're right infront of them, and then I still only have about seven hit.

when you look at the blast barrage's like gotenks or uub (not his ultimate) or most other characters most of the blasts actually hit but 18 has only 2 or 3 out of 10 hit and does very little damage unless shot at point blank.

I actually seem to have better luck with 18's than with a few others. I can usually get 5 to 7 of her's hit ( I think she fires 12 so that's still not a great percentage). Though, admitedly, the hit ratio for barrage attacks is still higher than for blast (Spirit Bomb, Big Bang Attack, etc) or beam (Kamehameha, Final Flash, etc) attacks. But that's simply due to the fact barrage's are that much harder to teleport dodge.

:lol: Thay may be so, but looking at my avatar & their line-up of games for this year is what pretty much convinced me to shut the hell up. 2007 is a good year for RPGs.

Is it me or doesn't the transformed Papa 'Geta look exactly like junior except with the insignia on his left breast.

I actually just picked up the Wii version of BT2 and I seriously hope the improved the control of the game because otherwise everyone's gonna be using either the Classic controller or a Gamecube controller.

I think that's the second costume/color for King Vegeta, but yes, it looks the same.

I love playing with the Wiimote.

Hmm, King Kold seems pretty weak, Death Beam and Super Explosive Wave as B2 seems just off-putting, his UB is awesome thought. So he is pretty much a balanced out pretty generic character.
