Super
DragonBall Z (JP PS2) Delayed
VegettoEX
@ 9:19 pm EST -- I'm getting extremely sick of reporting
video game delays, especially ones that I'm so terribly
looking forward to. Super DragonBall Z
(also incorrectly known as Chou DragonBall Z)
for the Japanese PS2 has
been pushed back to June 29th.
It was previously scheduled for release on April
13th. The game can still be found in Japanese
arcades until then (and most likely after, for a
little while).
And
geeze, Gamestop's
listing of the 2-in-1 USA GBA cart of Buu's
Fury + Transformation has a date of
the 27th of this month (as opposed to the 21st,
last week).
US
Advance Adventure (US GBA) Delayed AGAIN...?!?
VegettoEX
@ 10:28 am EST -- It would seem so. A listing doesn't
exist on Amazon, and Gamestop's
listing has been updated to a release date of
June 13th. It was previously listed
for an April 3rd/4th release date... and that was
after being pushed back a month even before that.
This
poor game just can't see the light of day in the
US. It's not like there's not already a fully-completed
English translation in other countries, or anything! |

DB
& DBZ Movie "Dragon Box" Delayed
VegettoEX
@ 12:40 pm EST -- The listings for the upcoming
DB & DBZ Movie "Dragon Box" in Japan
have changed! I know I haven't gotten any e-mails
from Amazon about the date change, but CDJapan
has an updated release date of April 14th
for the DVD boxset. There is also a
notice up on the official Toei site confirming
the date and apologizing to customers.
Basically,
there's a three-week delay. Shucks!
So
anyway, if you're in NYC this evening to see the
movie, say hello. I'll be this loser.

Dimps
DBZ3 Website Update, Again!
VegettoEX
@ 8:05 pm EST -- It took 11 months to get the first
real update on the site in quite some time, and
now they've suddenly done it again! Dimps updated
the official
DragonBall Z 3 website... and... there's
still absolutely nothing of any
interest. Not even a showcase of the extra
outfits. Aiya.
Those
two extra navigation buttons are working now, though.
One takes you to the last update's page, and the
other takes you to this update's page. La-di-freakin'-da. |

OK,
Fine... We'll Mention It...
VegettoEX
@ 9:46 pm EST -- I've been purposefully avoiding
mentioning it on the main page, because I have a
huge problem with posting news that exclusively
relates to a dub product and excludes fans of the
original Japanese version.
Yes,
DBZ movie 12 is playing in select theaters. Yes,
more theaters have been listed. Yes, we're heading
up to NYC to check it out this weekend. Saturday
night, to be exact.
Yes,
I'll be the nerd playing the original Japanese audio
track through his iPod while watching it on the
big screen. |

Prepare yourself for VegettoEX's performance of
all things DBZ, including dialogue, music, and even
sound effects. Could there be any
more of a fanboy episode describing all things good
& bad about all 13 DBZ movies? We think not!

Kuribo for the link.

VegettoEX
@ 1:44 pm EST -- After 11 months of absolutely nothing,
Dimps updated the official

You'll
be able to pick the game up in stores tomorrow (if
they didn't already put them out today). The JP
version is due out on April 20th.
And
remember, kids. Bu. Dô. Kai.
It ain't "bootie-kye". |

How
To Determine Your Budokai 3: Greatest Hits
Version
VegettoEX
@ 10:00 am EST -- Our forum member Akira
has come up with a pretty interesting observation
regarding the mishap with the "Greatest Hits"
version of Budokai 3 in North America.
In
case you've been sleeping
under a pebble the last couple months, Atari
re-released Budokai 3 under the "Greatest
Hits" label with a few extras from the JP version
of the game (including the extra costumes and Japanese
voices). Well, their first pressing was messed up,
and they accidentally shipped the original 2004
version (with NO extras) in the new packaging. Despite
corrected versions making their way to store shelves,
there's still a possibility that you might get the
wrong version.
How
can you tell, possibly? The type of shrink-wrap
used on it. For
more information, read the respective post on our
forum! I checked my local Best Buy today, and
the theory indeed seems to make sense.
Shin
Budokai Official Website
VegettoEX
@ 7:41 am EST -- The
official website for Shin Budokai has
been launched, and has a bunch of neat stuff. It's
pretty slow-loading, like any other typical Flash-heavy
Japanese website ^_~. |

DBGT
"Perfect File" Books Reprints
VegettoEX
@ 11:04 am EST -- Julian's going to bed, and I'm
home sick again, so I guess I'll go ahead and update
with it :P.
Shueisha's
release schedule shows reprints of the two DBGT
"Perfect File" books (essentially smaller-sized
daizenshuu dedicated to the DBGT series)
with a release date of April 4th. Other than being
described as "reprints," we really don't
know anything else about them... though it's safe
to assume there won't be a whole lot new to them,
if anything at all.
This
at least gives them a reason not to release any
additional new anime guides a la Tenka-ichi
Densetsu (DB) and Son Gokû Densetsu
(DBZ). The covers for all of these books can be
seen over on our "Covers"
page. |

New
Japanese DBZ CD Sets Images + New R2 DVDs
VegettoEX
@ 4:30 pm EST -- I've
created a thread over on our forum with pictures
and scans of the two new CD sets that just came
out in Japan about a week ago. Very neat stuff.
Yesterday,
Japan saw its release of the next three volumes
of DBZ on DVD. These are individual disc releases
of what was originally released on the two DBZ "Dragon
Box" sets beginning back in 2003.
Amazon
Japan has them for 20% off (¥3192) if you want
a deal! |
