Gah!?!? No DBZ Budokai II for Gamecube?

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I hate Atari right now. Not only is DBZ Budokai II still 39.99 (dropped 10 bucks recently) for PS2 but there are also no plans for it to come out on Gamecube. I don't want to spend 39.99 on a PS2 game! The price probably wont drop until Budokai III comes out (why 3 and not GT?). Lame...

[Lord Dalek]

Frankly, I hate this series. But I can see why your disappointed.

[RAINMAN]

Atari didn`t make the first until it was year old so they could doing the same whit the second one. But I share in your hate for atari. Espiclay how they screw GC fans out of the godzilla sequel.:mad:

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I was mad when they "improved" Godzilla for Xbox as well.

Even though the game wouldn't be out until at least fall if it were coming out they would have annouced it with the other 3 Dragonball Z titles. So I assume it wont be released. Maybe the GCN version didn't sell well. It did okay in the charts from what I saw but if it didn't sell it's no suprise given that there weren't any extras and it came out a year after the PS2 version. That's practially asking for the game to flop.

Honestly, I don't see how you could get mad at them not releasing such a bad game. I love the Super Famicom DBZ games, as they are really solid fighters, but Atari's stuff is garbage. Get SuperSonic Warriors for the GBA, its being made by Banpresto.

[Artimus Gigan]

One less bad game is always a good thing...


There are plenty of other good titles coming for GC...like Custom Robo...

It's no Hyper Dimensions for sure but I love Budokai II and I really wanted it to come out on GCN like the first game did.

[TacoHunter]

I question if you guys have played the new DBZ games by Atari. Budokai is actually a good game. We go and look at just about any other DBZ game, crap. Atari has actually made, IMHO, the 3 best DBZ games, Legacy of Goku II, and the 2 Budokai games. They aren't great games by any means, but they're so much better then every other DBZ game.

[Nin-Nin69]

I liked these DBZ titles besides Budokai:

Hyper Dimention (One of the best Super Famicom fighters)
UB 22 (The best DBZ fighter until Budokai)
Legends (3 Vs. 3 hardcore fighting, a great concept that needed more work)

I was unfortunately suckered into buying Budokai for the GCN, as I have a renewed interest in the DB series, and the game is just a huge button smasher with no actual gameplay value. Sure, most fighters are button smashers, but there is elegance to the way they play, and I wish the moves had been as simple as the MvC series; then I might of liked it. And yes, its definitely no HD, and I don't think Atari will ever make a DB game of that caliber...

Whats funny is, when I got my Saturn, I instantly when out and imported Legends. Sure, the gameplay is less than stellar, but it had really cool scripted moves after you beat the enemy.

Atari spent so much time on the visuals and ended up with sloppy controls and play physics.

My thoughts as well.

[Nin-Nin69]

Legacy of Goku was the worst. Why do I have to kill snakes and rats? Pointless crap I don't want to do just to level up for 2 or 3 major battles. Then again it didn't compare to the mind numbing experience that was Yu Yu Hakusho for the GBA.

[Mr. Pedro]

I'm shedding no tears over this. I'm getting burnt out on the whole "Dragon Ball" thing anyway.

Besides, I find myself spending more and more time with the superb GBA RPG titles.

Any DBZ fan will tell you Hyper Dimension is the best game of the series. You must not have played it, or any of the other Super Famicom games. They are vastly superior to any Atair DBZ game.

[Lord Dalek]

I always thought the arcade game DBZV.R.V.S. was the best.

[Shawn Hopkins]

You can't expect all games to come out on every console. Suck it up and buy it for PS2.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I don't expect all games to come out for every console but the first one came out on GCN. Why not the second? The sales for the GCN game were good enough.

[RAINMAN]

Well, you see how 3rd party has ben acting funny toward N lately. They don`t care if their games do well or bad on the GC. They wonna act like jerks cause they all just envy N. If atari is relly smart they makes DBZB3 for the GC and release it the sametime they release the ps2 version. But E3 is not too far away so anything can happend. :sad:

[NachoHat]

They wonna act like jerks cause they all just envy N.
LOL


I'd argue with you but eh, what's the point?

[AlphaPrime]

Yeah Budokai 2 isn't the best*its my favorite though* Super Butouden 2 is the best, Hyper Dimension isn't that great IMO, i really don't like playing it all that much.

Budokai 1 musta not sold good enough for them on GC to port B2 over, which i can except that. Wonder if they will keep the Transformers game PS2 only would probably help the PS2 alot if they did hehe. I still wish Nin would stick with the GBA and become third party for consoles hehe.

Opinions vary. Most fans that I've talked say that legends is the best.

Like I said previously, I loved Legends. Was the first game I got for my Saturn. But, it really wasn't a true fighter, as you barely had any input. Hyper Dimension was a true fighter though. It had great style and gameplay. Now if only Atari could do that with their games. Or at least have someone bring it over to the GBA, unless Supersonic Warriors is better. Which I could see, as its made by Banpresto.

[gpe]

The control scheme for Hyper Dimension wont fit on GBA and changing it would be a crime
but Nintendo should take its own example games that are combinations of "classic games" are cheap to make and lots of people but them... If there was a disc with all the snes and ps dbz games combined i would buy it... I have the zelda and megaman collection discs and i think they should start a trend of "greatest hit" discs

Well, I dobut this would happen simply because there are too many games that aren't translated. Theres the Super Butoden series, the RPG series, HD, Legends, and Shin Butodan, which is 9 games, and they ALL need localization or they won't sell as well, at least according to Atari, who can't just use the Jap dialogue. Anyways, just stick to getting the games elsewhere for now, as they probably won't ever come here, since DB is dying down here a little bit, with the advent of GT. As for HD on the GBA, they could make it work, they would just need to simplify it a little.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I played Super Sonic Warriors (Japanese version). It's awesome stuff. It may surpass HD in greatness... nah.

Well, heres whats coming in the world of DB games. Buu's Fury is basically LOG3. And I hope Atari doesn't mess with SSW too much. Can't believe Budokai 3 is being made... I mean, they've gone through all the sagas already, correct? What else could they do, other than fix up the fighting itself, and make it less redundant.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

You'd think they'd make it Dragonball GT: Budokai given the popularity of the series in the US (which I STILL don't understand). Hopefully there will be real beam wars this time and free flight!

I wouldn't count on it. They need to keep it simple for the kids. Thats the main problem: they're not appealing to the older crowd. They need to take elements from past games, and make this version a hell of a lot better.

[Eddy]

Damn, so as of now there are no plan for Budokai 2 for the Cube? That sucks... :( I really want to get it for GameCube.

Well, maybe it will come out in time... Budokai sold well on the Cube, also considering it was port of a game that was a year old.

[RAINMAN]

So atari are jerk after all.
