Transformation
Screenies + "Fansub Dialogue" Page
VegettoEX
@ 4:05 pm EDT -- Right on the tail of yesterday's
update, it seems that Atari has gone ahead and put
up a full information
page for the first Transformation game.
Sure enough, they're even admitting it's Legacy
of Goku 4... look at the URL to the page :P.
The game seems to be taking the series into a new
direction, almost looking like Advance Adventure...
we'll just have to wait and see! The game is due
out in the US 19 July 2005.
And
in content news, we have "Rumor
Guide" addition! Check out the new "Fansub
Dialogue" page, in which we take a close
look at some of the more infamous examples of dialogue
fans hold so close to their hearts from ye' olden
fansub days... and how disgustingly inaccurate some
of it is. There's even some audio files to listen
to, for yourselves! Let us know what you think of
it.
I'd
like to do a contest pretty soon. I've got DVDs
and (gasp!) video games
to give away! Geeze... news at the drop of a hat,
insane content, and free video games...? Why would
you even need to go anywhere else? :P |

Transformation
2 For GBA
VegettoEX
@ 11:40 am EDT -- We meant to post this two days
ago, but we've just been too busy ^^;;. As our forum
member Kodoshin has pointed out,
Gamestop's
systems now have a listing for a Transformation
2 on the GameBoy Advance, with a date set of
November 15th (right around the same time that Sparking!
/ Budokai Tenkaichi is due out). This will
be the fifth game in the Legacy of
Goku series of action/adventure/RPGs (which,
as we all know by now, randomly stopped using the
LoG main title after the second game :P).
The
first Transformation game (Legacy of
Goku 4), which will span the beginning of DBGT
through the Bebi arc, will be released on 19
July 2005.
Look
for some new content in the coming days. Getting
to work, right now :D.
And
on a random note, our updates have been a little
slow due to Otakon video madness ^_~. Luckily, the
deadline was just extended, so while we could
have finished this weekend, we have a good amount
of breathing room to tweak. In a shocking twist,
there will be DBZ involved in this video... >.> |

DBGT
"Dragon Box" DVD Set Delayed
Julian @ 10:05
pm EDT -- If you've been keeping track, you might
have noticed that the release date for the Japanese
DragonBall GT "Dragon Box" DVD
Boxed Set is fast approaching, without so much as
a "GT DVD Set Release coming up real soon"
update. Actually, there's good reason for this (apart
from final exams and general sloth). You see...
it's been delayed. As pointed out to us by forum-member
kenisu3000, courtesy of the official
Japanese "Dragon Box" website:
We
are truly thankful for receiving the greatest
amount of preorders out of the series. We give
our gratitude to each and every one of you who
reserved it. At present, the production operation
is in full swing, but because the final tally
of preorders was twice that of the 'Dragon Box'
series up through last year, far exceeding our
prior assumptions, it became incredibly difficult
for us to deliver the product to every valued
customer who ordered, by the release date we originally
gave of 25 May.
We
are terribly sorry to make all of you keep waiting,
but in order to deliver the product in a better
condition, we are changing the release
date to 15 June. We are really, terribly
sorry, but please, do try to understand.

Shueisha / Fuji TV / Toei Animation
Pony Canyon
Traditional
Japanese "we are such piles of crap" humility
aside, the main gist is thus: they couldn't meet
demand for all of the preorders, so they just chose
to delay it rather than make some of the pre-orderers
wait, or rush an inferior product out the door.
So if you're getting antsy about your shiny new
DBGT "Dragon Box"... good things
Japanese DVDs come to those who wait. :-P |

Budokai
Tenkaichi = Sparking!
VegettoEX
@ 5:32 pm EDT -- Ignore anything you read elsewhere — the game being released in the US by Atari under
the name Budokai Tenkaichi is indeed the
game Sparking!, being developed by Japan
by Spike for Bandai. Just
posted today, IGN has some new information (including
images and movie clips!) concerning/from the game.
Look for upwards of 60 characters, including all
five of the Ginyu-Tokusentai.
I
have a huge problem with the
IGN article calling the game Budokai 4:
this is incorrect. It's a brand-new
game being developed by a completely different game
developer (Spike vs Dimps) with a completely new
game engine. I repeat, this is not Budokai
4 / DragonBall Z 4. Regardless, check out the article for some screens
and videos (from the Japanese version, no less!).
For the record, the name should likely have been Tenka-ichi
Budôkai, the way it is actually named within the series... not with the words the other way around.
For the fans who still don't know
where the title Sparking! comes from, I
highly suggest you listen to the actual 1st
opening theme to DBZ...!
We've
got some other gaming news, too, mostly for all
you international fans. Poor little Sagas
is coming out over in Europe in July (source: Cube-Europe),
and you'll also be getting... *drumroll*...
Advance Adventure (!!!), which is up for
pre-order both on Amazon/UK
and Amazon/Germany.
Special thanks to our great forum-goers for their
research ^_~.

Oh,
the Fandumb
VegettoEX
@ 5:32 pm EDT -- A certain file was brought to my
attention, recently, and I had a good laugh upon
checking it out. Being passed around as Dragonball
AF - Opening Vid.wmv, it's nothing more than
the vocal opening to DragonBall Z 3 (which
you can, as you know by now, download up in the
upper-right corner of this very site). However,
what really had me rolling on the ground was the
inclusion of what you see in the below frame:
Sure
enough, it's a bad cut-out of the new logo I whipped
up for our DragonBall AF April Fool's Day
2004 prank (which you can still check out in its
entirety right
here). Now, this video is not created
by us... we're much too clever to do something
so dumb ^_~. I mean, seriously... who hasn't
seen the DBZ3 opening...?
We've
said it before, and anyone who reads this site
is generally smart enough to know it...
But
there's no such thing as DragonBall AF.
There's no dôjinshi, there's no script,
there's no show in the plans... |
