Jeux-France has updated with a good deal of screen shots from the upcoming “Shin Budokai” PSP game. The game is an enhanced port of “Budokai 3”, including such items as additional characters.

Thanks to kindertuin on our forums for the heads-up on this one.

We have some lovely pictures straight from Japan of the soon to be released “Dragon Box: The Movies” DVD set. In addition there are pictures of the Jump Memorial booth, the scouter transceivers, the Z Dragon Box individual discs, and the coolest diorama ever (which will actually be sent to those that purchase the first 18 volumes of the individual discs)! You can check out more pictures and information by reading “Yamcha & Oolong’s Diary Blog“.

Make sure to take a closer look at the scouter image, as you can actually see what the DVD discs for the movie set will look like.

The Jumpland DVD website has posted a computer screensaver to help promote the release of the Z Dragon Box individual discs. It is a pretty nice screen saver — it rotates through the upcoming disc releases, providing you with some corresponding information: episode listings, a release date countdown, website information, and of course high resolution pictures of the box art.

Be warned that the site and the install file are in Japanese, so it can be difficult to install — just click yes for everything!

The cover art for the upcoming “Dragon Ball Z: Best Song Collection” 2 CD set has been released. It seems the set will officially be called “LEGEND OF DRAGONWORLD”.

The official website for Japanese arcade fighter “Super Dragon Ball Z” was updated today showcasing Chi-Chi as an additional, playable character in the game! It looks like this particular Chi-Chi comes from the 23rd Tenka-ichi Budōkai era, and has both Nyoibō and the Bashō-Sen at her disposal for battle.

The March 2006 issue of “V-Jump” details more information about the upcoming “Shin Budokai” for the PSP.

The “Shin” in the title is written as “true” or “pure”, and not “new”. This makes sense, since it seems to be not just a port of “Budokai 3”, but a port with many enhancements! In addition to new characters via the story mode (Paikuhan and Janenba are confirmed already), there is a new “Burst Mode” for movement at high speeds. It is also being touted as a “perfection” of the fighting engine used in “Budokai 3”.

The March 2006 issue of “V-Jump” in Japan details the method for unlocking Neko Majin Z as a support character as hinted at a few days back.

First, you must have beaten “Z Battle Mode” at least once. Next, win all 60 fights in “Mania”/”Maximum” mode. NEXT, on the mode select screen, press:

Up, X, Down, Y, L, R, L, R, Start

Finally, when choosing your support character for a battle, hold the “R” button while pressing “A” to select them.

Again, this is exclusively in the Japanese version of the game, which we received as “Super Sonic Warriors 2” on the Nintendo DS.

Jeux-France has posted the first images from the upcoming “Shin Budokai” for the PSP. Little is known about the game, but it looks like Paikuhan will finally be making his video game debut.

GameStop.com is still listing an 07 March 2006 release date for North America.

Much thanks to LaRésistance on the forum for this one.
