Dragon Ball Z making PSP debut

All you people complaining about 18 characters need to realize that the game will feature in game transformations. Budokai Tenkaichi had 60 characters because each transformation was counted as a seperate character, it's easy to get 60 characters when you have 4 Goku's, 4 Vegeta's and so forth. 18 truly diffferent characters is fine with me and unlike Tenkaichi (which isn't even a real Budokai game) this game won't be developed by Spike. Dimps the makers of Budokai 3 (one of the best fighters in my opinion) are developing this game so I'm really confident it'll turn out good.

I am a DBZ fan for that the idea for to take my budokai on all my travels is amagazine

this game is going to be wack. Why take a step down to 18 characters???

it doesnt suck its just played out....like ww2 games

DBZ sucks.

Im mad that this Budokai game has wireless play. How come the console games didnt have online play. Thats the stupidity Im talking about. With over 50 characters they could of made an online mode.

the 1 for the ps2 was the best the newest 1 for it budokai something cant remember the name but it ruled

hey, isn't it funny how when to try to get on gamespot the stupid razor ad locks you out of the site indefinately? good thing i'm samrt i faound a workaraound

Cool, 18 characters not cool >:-(

how many 10 year olds that like DBZ actually have a psp?

when is the psp going to finally get some more good games, this not being one of them

Quite your whining.18 characters is more than enough.Keep in mind that they aren't counting the various different forms of the characters.So as long as they include SSJ4 Vegeta,Im happy.

Who know? It could be alright. Hopefully when it comes out there will be more than 18 characters.

18 Characters isnt that bad for a fighting game, I mean, going from 50 to 18 is kind of bad, but it isnt really a sequel to the console versions, its Dimps trying somthing new by putting it on the PSP and seeing what they can do with it, The Average fighting game on the PSP has about 12 Characters I believe, so be greatful to get the 18. I am personally gonna wait for some screenshots from this game, but if it was a hybrid of Tenkaichi and B3 then I would be very greatful. The only thing I thought Tenkaichi was lacking was the actual skill capsules and transforming in battles, if Shin Budokai could throw those into the Tenkaichi fighting engine, I think it would make a great game, if people were to actually give it a chance.

At last, I

I hope they pick the best elements of both and take the flaws of each into account. And from what I have read, it looks like it. May just buy this fighter for the psp. Even though I've kinda grown out of this show, the fighting is still cool. So long as they have 17 and a decent game I'll buy it. Pixels for my people.

If its as good as Budokai 3 then I would buy it.

I hope it's more like DBZ : b3, not tenkaishi .

not impressed by the screenshots! they said it's coming in March! I hope they started working on it early or it will be buggy!

why do people comment in simply to put thing down. grow up chaps. for crying out loud. if you dont like something then good for you thats your opinion and your privalidge. but dont ruin things for other people. i hope this is a good game :). good games make people happy. and people being happy makes life better :) .

omg another one....jeez let it die....the only thing worse than another dbz game is another ww2 game

dragon ball Z games all suck. they are no fun

So, over the shoulder? Or traditional camera then?

There are screenshots at IGN, and it looks like that it will be just like DBZ Budokai 3

Hmm, I must admit, I had some fun with the budokai series of games and I consider them to be some of the better anime to game translations to come out in a while... so handheld budokai sounds like something worth looking at eh? Now all i have to get it a PSP to play it on :P

this game's gonna be cool. DBZ games are great nowadays.

I don't have a Psp but I did used to own Budokai 1 & 2 (which SUCKED) and I traded them in. Handheld Dragon Ball Z games suck...it's natural :D 18 characters is just bogus, god. The only reason most people even played Tenkaichi was probably cause of the characters. May I be the first to say "Duh!" to Dimps.

Hopefully, it will play like Budokai 3. That game is awesome. And 18 characters? Quality is better than quantity. But we'll see if it delivers on that or not. ( Just don't give me another Budokai 2 )

I agree with raichu raichu79 If it plays like Budokai 2 I'll get it. If it plays like Tenkaichi i wouldn't piss on it to put the flames out.

This could be good.

I've been watching this game very closely, and I know it's going to move people whom are either returning or new to the Budokai world, from what I've seen Gamespot will have to crank up their rating system. -Chris_N

It would be much better if they put in on the PS2.

mention anything about energy beams???

sounds cool to me but i think it needs more characters but a handheld dbz game would be kinda fun to play on the go dont you think

Hope the fast action aint to much for the psp super sonic warriors was asome for the ds.

Wow this is the saddest milking of a franchise I have EVER seen... 18 characters?!? Haha, the only reason a DBZ game is worth buying is for the characters because everything else about the pretty much sucks. And that's less characters than even Budokai 1, which was a flaming pile of ****.

Shin Budokai? Maybe be good, considering that Tenkaichi was not a Budokai game(Sparkling!). While it is returning to the Budokai roots, the 18 only cast is going to hurt a lot of people, and the company...

Yeah it better be 3D, not like the DS Dragon Ball Z game..but 18 Characters isn't much..-_- Could be cool though, the Budokai series has been making alot of progress/improvements lately

sounds like fun

this is awesome

Wow If it is anything like Budokai 3 and with ONLINE its going to be Extremely Fun:D

Am I the only one here thinking where's the online head to head fighting? Why does the psp ha so few online enable games while the DS has more ? Comon Sony do something about this. My psp is just taking dust do something about it Sony!!

gotta love the dragon ball games!

i dont care much for anime shows and games but since my psp is almsot gameless ill check it out anyway = /

so sad, shame it wont save atari

They should make it like an Rpg like game

The Super Famicon DBZ games still remain among my favorites.

I can't wait. I hope it plays like Budokai 3. That would be awesome.

Remembering the SNES games and how you could fight on the ground and the sky, I always tought DBZ would make more/perfect sense on the DS's dual screens. It will probably feel old.

DBZ is still alive...great.
