Budokai 2 News!
05/17/2003 -- 12:30 PM EDT -- SSJ3Goten 
"Due in December 2003 on PS2, Budokai 2 adds 11 new character to the 23 character roster, for a total of 34 fighters in all. It's once again cel-shaded; and it features graphics and design similar to the first title. A number of additions should appeal to those who enjoyed the first. For instance, supporting character Bu appears in three forms; the environments are far more destructive than before (showing off, for instance, more scorched Earth areas), and numerous cutscenes of betrayal as well as new and old rivalries.
Budokai 2 is based on the same engine as last year's game. Strangely, in response to the biggest criticism the first game received (which was that there was no jumping attacks or ducking), the designers responded by saying, "When did Dragon Ball Z characters ever duck in the anime series?" Instead, fighters may "deflect" attacks.
Another new addition is Dragon Mode. In it, players select from a roster of DBZ fighters, and Goku and his three-man team venture from territory to territory (seven in all) in search for Dragon Balls. Collect them all and you'll be rewarded with a wish.
And for those who played the first, your Memory Card Save will function in Budokai 2, enabling you to use the saved characters, capsules or Dragon Balls (Atari wouldn't specify).
ALSO: New DBZ GBA Game! Here is info from DBZ On Ps2 also:
Atari revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo that it's currently in development with a Dragon Ball Z fighting game for the Game Boy Advance. The game, Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu is in the works at Webfoot Technologies, the same development studio that's worked on the past two Dragon Ball Z RPG games for Infogrames and Atari.
Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu is planned for a November release.
No other details or screens were revealed about the game since it's extremely early in development."

Well, as i said before, i would have the movies finished before the weekend started. And so i have the movies finished. I fixed the ones that were messed up, and i have uploaded all the pictures to all the ones i have. I still think i need pictures for the Dragonall GT special, which i haven't even typed up yet, and for movie 8. Movie 10, and the secret movie. Anyways, i have also finished a dragonball episode summary, this one is on Dragonball Episode 11, and guess what..here's the Quicklink
The weekend approaches, A surprise!

Well, as i said in a previous post, i would have the movies done, and redefined with some new pictures added in, and i would redo the ones i already did since those pictures are like too big, and everything on the page is messing up, well anyways. That'll be done before the weekend even starts, and then i will probably get into doing some stuff on the dragonball Episode summaries, i just wanna finish the ones i have and get them out of the way, then i might focus more on the dragonball Z end of things. That and more to come soon..except i don't know what the more is yet..OH YEAH the talkshows..well, i can't really think of any funny ideas at the momment, but still i'll think of something, i might just make a comic strip or something, and change the talkshows to comic strips. Just an idea, we'll see.

Also, maby some tips and cheats will appear at the bottom of each review, so you can play along and try the games for yourselfs, and maby perhaps e-mail me a few of your suggestions or mini reviews you yourself have done...expect those to appear in future reviews!
Dragonball Episode Summary 10
05/14/2003 -- 7:16 PM EDT -- Sen
I haven't typed one up in a while, so i decided that i should type one. So i went ahead and watched one of the limited number of episodes that i have in my possesion and i typed up a summary on it. Episode 10.
Quicklink
Another summary should be around sometime later this week, and i will try to finish the movies a bit later, i've also noticed that some of the movies are getting cut off because the pictures are too big, so i will make them a bit smaller, and i will upload the rest of them for the other movies sometime during the long weekend coming up.
Dragonball Z: Live Action Movie
05/14/2003 -- 6:35 PM EDT -- SSJ3Goten
Hey, Im SSJ3 Goten, The New Guy, I will be Posting News.
Sources inside 20th Century FOX Report:
FOX is shooting for a PG-13 rating and a running time of somewhere between 3 to 4 hours. They are hoping for the DBZ movie saga to be 4 episodes long (4 movies). Starting in The Saiyan Saga, The Freiza Saga, The Android/Cell Saga, and the Majin Buu Saga.
George Lucas' CGI company ILM has signed a contract to do the special effects. Some sad news, due to casting and scheduling difficulties, filming that was set to begin real soon has been put off until Summer 2004. The original Release Date. Once the movie is finished filming and all post-production effects are added in, this movie may not be out until well into 2005.
As of right now there is no definite title. The most obvious choice would be plain "DragonBall Z", but FOX is also leaning toward "DragonBall Z: Unlimited" or "DragonBall Z: Fight For Man Kind."

Another Review
05/14/2003 -- 12:37 PM EDT -- SonicMAD
New review to be published soon! The Legend of the Super Saiyan is probably my all time best DBZ game, and i hope the review you inspires you to go seek it out as a rom and download it or something. Just to make you aware, i have not had any requests as of yet for reviews, so unless you want me to just review games i want to ( probably boring you all to death) i suggest to mail me (use that little message icon next to my name) to get what YOU want...after all, im reviewing them for you, so you might as well get what you want ;)!
Laters guys...
