Over at Zstore they have new covers for Supersonic Warriors 2, Budokai Tenkaichi, Budokai 3 Greatest Hits, and LOG 1 and 2 Compilation.

I for one am very surprised that the new Budokai 3 has the Japanese cover art. Hopefully when and if this game is released on the GameCube it will also have the superior Japanese cover. Another thing I found strange was that they are rereleasing LOG 1 and 2 together in one box. I guess it makes sense if someone missed out on these games originally but wouldn't it make a lot more sense if they also included LOG 3?

The Cover for Budokai Tenkaichi is really boring, the European/Japanese one is much better

Maybe they didn't package 3 in because they couldn't fit it all..? I dunno anything about the cartridge capacity or the game size though, so I could be way off.
Or maybe they're waiting to package LOG 3 and some other DBZ game later on in another set and milk it for more money.

Boring? I don't know about that. For me, looking at the American art, I see the attempt at making a pretty, and clean look. On top of it being (atleast in my opinion,) the best cover art for an American DBZ game, ever.
And then as far as the Japanese art looks like they took screen shots, and just made a collage. The poses don't really fit, and it just looks hastily done.

Thats just my opinion though.

Great job, Atari. You first said in an interview with GamePro magazine that you couldn't include Japanese voices as well in the first Budokai because of disc space limitations. Then you stiff us on the release of Budokai 3 with English-only voices and then decide to include it a year later in a cheaper version. :\ One has to wonder WHY they didn't do this before? And I also wonder if they're gonna pull the same stunt later on with Budokai Tenkaichi when it becomes a Greatest Hits by bringing in the original opening and background music.

Regarding boring artwork, I gotta say that Budokai 3 had the most boring artwork on the US box. o_O Glad they're now using the Japanese boxart. Though how is it that Europe keeps getting the better end of the stick with the recent PS2 DBZ games?

Legacy Of Goku I & II?

They're really milking the Dragon Ball videogame franchise now. Nice artwork though.
