    Heh, I was considering getting Budokai Tenkaichi 3 but with this coming...I think I'll scrap it and jump to this. Latest gen DBZ ftw! Always fun to play DBZ fighting games.

    I was thinking that the next DBZ game was gonna be another game with a similar look and gameplay to the Tenkaichi series. But it looks as if they're going back to 2D fighting. Well, whatever it's gonna look like, let's see what Namco Bandai is bringing to the next-gen table with Burst Limit.

    Looks like they don't consider the Wii to be very...next-gen. With the big upgrade, I hope to see some greater changes than the PS2 games.

    Online gameplay? Nice!

      I think it's not so much as that they don't consider the Wii a "next-gen" console, it's just that when compared to the 360 and PS3, it's graphic power is rather limited. And by the looks of the pictures...graphic power is a must. Wonder what the 360 achievements would be...

        And I wonder what the PS3 Trophies will be lol

        Unless they're lazy, and don't put in trophies >_>

        I bet they'd have one for World Champion (get in first in an online tournament of minimum X number of people) on online or something >_>

    Meh this series is one the next gen systems could have done without in my opinion. Seriously how many Dragon Ball games have there been in just the last 3 years?
