For those of you who still like Dragonball Z, or those of you who liked Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, this should be pretty interesting news. DBZ makes a return to the Wii with Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, with all the explosive action and fighting only to be expected from a Dragonball Z game, and with the Wii, expect to be really firing Kamehamehas again.
Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR) one of the world’s most recognized brands and a third-party video game publisher, today announced that Dragon Ball Z®: Budokai Tenkaichi™ 3 is in development for Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 combines the lightning fast fighting and action that have made Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and Budokai Tenkaichi 2 the #1 fighting games of 2005 and 2006. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. / Spike, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is slated to release during the 2007 holiday season.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 delivers an extreme 3D fighting experience, improving upon last year’s game with over 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting techniques, beautifully refined effects and shading techniques, making each character's effects more realistic, and over 20 battle stages. In addition, an improved control system for the Wii will allow players to easily mimic signature moves and execute devastating energy attacks as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series.
“Atari is incredibly excited to offer the ultimate chapter in the Budokai Tenkaichi series with over 20 new characters that have never been seen in any other DBZ video games such as Nail, King Cold and King Vegeta and battle stages that fans will love," said Emily Anadu, Senior Product Manager, Atari, Inc. “Each year, the developers refine the game to bring fans closer to feeling like they are actually playing the show."
In addition to the unprecedented number of characters and improved Wii control system, the environments have also been enhanced to feature day and night stages. The power of the moon in the night stages gives players additional ways to transform their characters and lets fans recreate some of their favorite memories from the show.

Anyways sounds good. I loved the 2nd one.
Have just about all of the DBZ games thus far, and I believe that Budokai 3 is the best...this can change my mind, though.
Well, moderately constant.
If they made a 360 version, then they'd release it on all next gens, but since the wii isn't graphically such a step up from the PS2, it fits more in line with trying to make a quick buck off an existing crowd, while catering to the oddball system's gimmick. Makes more sense not to mess with the game engine and release a sequel (pretty much an expansion pack) with the other characters and whatnot, instead of mess with a new engine upgrade full of rendering effects, etc.
They'll get to that, i'm sure. But not until they've completely tapped out the PS2 resources.
*KAAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEE..*
Human Civilian #7 Vs. Vegeta
Well, I''ll definitely get this, as I love the DBZ video games.
It's also great that it's on the PS2, which means I'll actually be able to get it.
