part 3 of the Q&A that answers questions that are frequently asked

[Part 3] *FINAL*

Q: Will there be a mini game mode?

NB: Yes. There will be some mini-games.

DC: There are a few mini games planned in the game, not just the loading screens this time! They may even unlock some special stuff…

Q: Will there be Japanese music in the game?

NB: Yes. But not songs. Would you guys like Japanese song inside?

DC: Yes we have the Japanese songs in the game but they are instrumentals only, no voice.

Q: What is this Dramatic Z Engine? Is it about cut scenes? Will we have more? Or is it something about battles?

NB: The story mode has been changed dramatically. We'll explain this later

DC: This has to do with the cut scenes. Instead of just playing every story through just like the show, we are allowing the players to change the outcome for a new story and new scenes. Of course if you like to see these battles just as they are on the show you can do that as well!

Q: Is there a possibility that the number of characters would increase above 150 in the time that's left for the game to be finished? Or is it decided already?

NB: Yes. There always is a possibility to produce something good for fans!

DC: We think we have a pretty full character roster but if there is space to pack more in, we will!

Q: What is your point of view on the Dragon Ball series? Should a game developer appreciate the series on which he works for his game?

NB: Dragon Ball Z is the gold master of all anime in the world. We've grew up watching Dragon Ball Z when we were young. Now we can be a part of the DBZ game development team, and we really appreciate being a part of the team. The last year I traveled to Italy, and in the very small town in Italy there was a TV game shop. And at the very front of the casher desk, Tenkaichi softs were placed. Kids in Italy love to play Dragon Ball Z games. We really appreciate the opportunity to produce TV game with such famous anime series, and on the other hand we always need to put ourselves in hard work because so many fans are waiting for our game all over the world.

DC: Dragon Ball set the bar in action anime, I love it and feel very proud working with something so special. Every other action anime I see, I am comparing it to DBZ. I feel that even after all these years there is nothing more amazing than some of the fights in DBZ. As for whether or not a dev team needs to appreciate the series? - Of Course! Everyone who works on these titles are definitely diehard DBZ fans.

new story mode info

Nothing new is explained on this page, just introducing Goku-GT and his forms, Su Shinlon(Nuova Shenron), King Cold, and King Vegeta.

The top half is once again(probably for the 5th time) explaining about Blast Combo System, Z Counter, Z Burst Dash, Sonic Sway.

The bottom half of the scan is the more interesting part as it explains about Dragon History Mode, the game's story mode.

The used the Nappa fight as an example.
Starts off with Tenshinhan vs. Nappa
*If Tenshinhan wins with no trouble, then the battle is over and you can move on.
**If Tenshinhan is in trouble against Nappa, you get an In-Battle cut scene of Chaozu exploding on Nappa.
***If Tenshinhan then wins the battle(After Chaozu's explosion), then you can move on.
****If Tenshinhan is Defeated, then Piccolo and Gohan will fight Nappa
*****If both Piccolo and Gohan is defeated, then it's Game Over
******If Both Piccolo and Gohan can survive against Nappa, then Goku will appear(of course, we get certain scenes before Goku appears).

Hi everyone!

Our dragonballz.com website is hosting a special online poll. The poll asks fans to select their ten favorite battle scenes. The most voted scenes will be put on a special DVD that will be packaged with Budokai Tenkaichi 3. This bundle will be available exclusively from Gamestop for a limited time.

Here's a link to the poll:

Info from Ciel, one of the admins of the Atari forums.
Wasn't sure if it counted as real info, but upon further thinking, I figured it did lol.

Okay, not 'new' per-say but still very cool and quite inattentive. You'll see what I mean.
