Cool, things along the lines of this and the Scribblenauts rooster hat (... which I'm wearing right now) are what pre-order bonuses should be. Not exclusive ingame content that should be there to begin with.
@Pombar: I saw someone the other day dressed as orochimaru and a girl following her with a headband on. I certainly hope there was a convention somewhere. :/
@Solertia: Yeah... I'd love to see a game on PS3 for part 2, despite what "Read right to left" said about it... I'll admit the Pain arc was really stupid by the end (Deus ex machina of ALL FREAKING TIME) but there are moments in part 2 that really can't be matched by part 1.
Looks like those bits of Final Fantasy jewellery that you can get from eBay (because at least one Final Fantasy character per game has a trademark necklace)
I wish these licenced anime fighting games were actually . . . fighting games. DBZ Budokai 3 was about the best it ever got, and even then it was Square x4 + Circle or Back + Circle for EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. to use their primary ki blast.
Same with the Naruto and Bleach games. Every fuckin' move list is damn near identical for each character. The moves you execute are obviously different, as are the pros/cons for using a character specific attack, but it's still just a different coat of paint over the same button combos.
Is it really that hard to make a decent fighting engine? Or even to give each character their own move list? It'd be nice if I noticed a difference depending on the character I played.
Is there an option for Japanese audio? That's what my purchase of DBZ3 on the Wii hinged on. English dub would have made it unbearable (good for laughs, but not more than 5 minutes at a time).
I'm used to Mexican dubs which are generally great, and since those will never be made for a game... Original audio beats cheesy voices.
I like the cel-shading on this though, looks nice and clean.
@ReynaldoRiv: Lol, yes, I absolutely HATE Goku's japanese voice, and the fact that his kids has the same. I thought it was a joke first time I heard it, but no, they kept his original VA from his time as a kid, because getting a more mature actor as he grew up never crossed their mind.
@ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness:
Yeah, for some reason the late 90's through early 00's saw some good anime dubs going on. DBZ, Bebop... even YuYu's dub was really good compared to... this stuff.
This was the first time I heard Naruto's English VA... were they going for a chain smoking 12 year old?
I've never seen naruto (anime isn't really my thing), but the games always look decently done, and are cheap. Does anyone know if they're any good and worth giving a go as a non-naruto fan?
@RAGE QUITTER: Bleach I've managed to stay on- though i only watch the dub for some reason. But what I usually do is watch a load until theres few left dubbed then wait ages then watch loads again- the gap inbetween keeps it fresh, I got bored of shippuden watching it every week.
@Vamplosion: they ruined shippuden. and bleach is just as bad, imo. you're better off reading the comic where everything stays fresh, constant, and interesting. can't say the same for belach's comic though, it's become so dragged out....so yeah you are probably better watching the filler-a-thon for bleach.
@Vamplosion: youre just like me. i let at least 50-75 ep of anime build up before watching. in the meantime i catch up on other anime that i haven't watched.
@p3hrmne: The comic fell into a Naruto agnstfest/ Sasuke overpowered wankfest.
Only recently has naruto shown any sort of spine/abilitiy, then bam, right back to hmm whining like emo over sasuke. You know, the guy who tried to kill him.

Sasori was awesome? compared to who? Sakura?
Look at any of the other akatsuki members. All of them are more badass.

I'm pretty sure SSBB and SMG have shown that Wii games can look damn pretty.

Also I think the Music was very nicely done for the English version (but honestly I like the Japanese music too)
In the case of Dragonball Z
(English Dub) greater than (Japanese Dub)

I wonder how quickly I'd get committed to an asylum if I tried it out in real life... Just call my actions out in 3rd person as I'm doing them.
