Battle Stadium D.O.N Discussion (DBZ, One Piece, Naruto)

TakinawaTonfa

I can't find any website that announces that boxart, where'd you find it Battle Franky?
even if it did come from an Official Source, it could just be one of those Mock ups that are done for the Preorders. A lot of times its just a Blank Gamecube/PS2 cover with the logo on top of a Gradient or some other Generic background.
it would surprize me if this was the real game box. American Game Boxes are usually The Bland ones and Japanese Game boxes usually rock

Ironically, the Japanese cover is used on the "Greatest Hits" packaging on Budokai 3.

ninjuichi

I like the box art…

But what about that "A" rating in the bottom? Doesn't that stand for All Ages or something? I know Gekitou Ninja Taisen and Grand Battle had something higher than that, or at least there isn't an "A" used for their ratings.

@Cap'n:

Wow…. that's remarkably lame.

The only cool thing about it is Luffy :/

it's not Ironic or Funny, they did it that way on Purpose because the Greatest Hits Version has the Japanese Audio Track Selectable.

Buccaneer

Packaging on Greatest Hits aren't determined by special features. Look at DMC3.

CC ann

I should definitely get that game!!!
XD well…its a way to see a luffy vs naruto match ^_^

Really? Is that true? :ohmy:

I thought that Tenkaiichi was the only game that had the Japanese audio.

Holy crap holy crap! I am supirsed no one has posted a picture. I bought weekly jump and it has some pictures of new characters!!

Nami,usopp, Garra, Trunks,sasuke,kakashi, and freeza are all playable. I'll try to post camera pics, but i cant say 100% i will. I'll see if magic-box has some.

Also nami has her old tact not her new one. If you guys don't beleive me that sucks for you.

Also it seems the box art cover is in fact the real one >>. They didnt show the acutall box,but they had that picture thats on the box with luffy on top….

edot: damn magic-box doesnt have them yet. The pics tho are in Issue 28 of weekly jump....There is also this really awesome pic of zoro and trunks's swords metting....

Tokoro Ataru

Well if they have Gaara (who is slightly psychotic) and Freeza (who is downright evil) in the game, that means something about villains being included. But as for the SH's threat…well considering you've got general baddies like Croc, Arlong or Eneru (not to mention Lucci, but who knows if they're going that far) as well as more "honorable threats" like Smoker or Aokiji, it should be interesting who we see (that is, if OP gets a more villainous/psycho character like the other two)

Buccaneer

They probably include Freeza because there are only five good guys worth much. I wouldn't bet on corresponding characters from each series.

Metalvirus

I would like Crocodile to be in this game (Even though I want Kuro more), but with the probability of every Strawhat crew member getting in as playable, I doubt that we will see any more from One Piece.

J-Sack

I am downloading a rar of WJ #28
I'll see if it has the pages…. but then I gotta sleep.

EDIT: Nope, not in there

warp

what?! It is right in the begining. It folds out and stuff. On the back side to it there is an article about heat the soul 3 for bleach. Then an article about ryuk in the death note movie. This is all before naruto which is the first manga, then bleach, then one piece.

Tizoc

^Well I for one belive u as the mentionned characters sound credible. I'm glad Usopp's in it, though I was hoping for Sogeking as well :/

warp

Oh i forgot to mention the time chamber from dragonball is a stage now and what seems like namek but i really cant tell. Freeza and garra are in the way somewhat

Dude… I don't control what is scanned and what isn't from the site I downloaded it from -_-
When I am in NYC later this week and if they have, I could throw in like 4 buck and buy it and scan.

warp

oh sorry. I wasnt blaming you just kinda suprised. And i didnt want people to think i was lying (which i am not)

Caracal

Gaara - Cool. I like him.
Freeza - Demon King Piccolo is better if you ask me, but Freeza is still good.
No OP villain - I just hope we get one eventually (which is likely). While I would preer Crocodile, I get the feeling someone people might call him a Gaara rip off. Additionally another sand user might not be a good idea if they want to go for variety.

As for playable Usopp, I have to get this game just so I can beat up Sasuke with him.

Metalvirus

Arg…the game comes out in less than 10 days, and they still havent shown any videos? That is what people want to see!

COWMAKAZE

July 20, not June 20, Metalvirus.

I preordered mine just a few days ago, and I was almost having second thoughts, but then Usopp was confirmed. I'm completely sold. They couldn't possibly screw this game up.

Metalvirus

Ah whoops. Dang, I thought it was June…Ah well, we still need some videos =P

Here are the pages from issue 28

Thank e1n for scanning and me for merging. It gets a little screwed at the top, but I don't care.

Except it's four player. I have yet to encounter a four-player fighting game that is not good.

New pic comments:
-I guess Luffy loves ramen just as much as he loves his meat. Then again…Luffy eats everything.
-Sakura doesn't seem too enthusiastic about Sanji, huh? Well...if his eyes get all hearty...then I guess that's one more thing he and Lee can talk about :p
-Trunks vs. Zoro...can someone just feel the cool there?
-Final complaint: why are the Jounin just standing there as the other characters beat each other up? Wouldn't they help a lot more as, er, special attacks or something? (imagines summon where Gai comes in and smashes his foot into whomever Lee is fighting)

Mr. Evil

Zoro and Trunks clashing swords=awesome.

Since the game releases next month and it's still unknown if Franky will even join in the manga, I highly doubt that he'll be in. :(

Oh well, Usopp is playable at least.

Metalvirus

Some of those pics look like they might be part of the intro. Speaking of which, what do you people want, an animated intro, or a 3d one?

J-Sack

The ones on the left look to be from the intro.
I would have rather had an animated one.

Metalvirus

Aw man, I just realized…the story mode (if they have one) for this game will be SOO amazing if done right! Imagine some of those cutscenes of character interaction!

Anyway, I would also rather have an animated intro as well, but I am just wanting some form of clips for this game, so I dont care.

J-Sack

Probably no kind of video until July.

Metalvirus

Sigh You are probably right.

Cap'n Carter

Since all three series are done in pretty different styles by different teams, I can see how an animated intro would be hard.

J-Sack

Well…. DBZ and OP have kinda been done before. I don't think it is that hard, I just think the problem is Pierrot has Naruto while Toei does OP and DBZ.

warp

@Cap'n:

They actually show clips of the opening in the artcle (i think because they had the english letters OP, which could mean one piece to, but the screens on the side did look like an opening screen). In the screens they have luffy stealing sasukes ramen. Naruto fighting goku. Luffy, naruto, and goku all flying (or falling) into the battle stadium (which maybe a stage). That screen where zoro and trunks swords are colliding are in the battle stadium, but i am not sure if those were screens or the opening. There was actually some game screens tho like trunks vs usopp

Cap'n Carter

yeah… EGX posted the spread on the last page.

Demon Rin

@warp:

another naruto stage which name escapes me right now

another naruto stage which name escapes me right now

The Chuunin Examination Third Round Arena (not The Preliminaries, but the One AFTEr that where Naruto Fights Neji)
The Streets of Konohakagure

and now with the Announcement of some of these Characters and such My faith that this game will be great Keeps rising!
and Zoro Vs Trunks?! drools
and Yeah, it says in Katakana "OPUNINGU MUBI" Which is "Opening movie" so yeah, those things at the right in the Film Border are from the Opening Movie. it makes me kinda sad since i wanted Toei to Animate it, but since Pierrot owns Naruto I guess they cant

warp

Ah thank you demon rin (for buying jump) for telling me those names! I hope the animation goes with the big themes songs of the series. It first starts off with cha-la-head-cha-la! Then you can unlock we are and then Go!(4th opening of naruto)

J-Sack

Anyone think we will have a full roster with the next issue of VJump?

ninjuichi

They said the full roster would be 20+ characters, and if my assumption that each series will be represented with 7 characters is correct then yes, the final 3 characters should be revealed next (or this) week.

Sakonosolo

It would be cool if one of Usopp's costumes is Sogeking and one of Luffy's costumes is Afro Luffy. Also, I hope they have a couple of villans from each series.

Solid

Im kinda confused about which characters are in and not, can someone make and post a list? please… =)

ninjuichi

Naruto:
Naruto
Sakura
Sasuke
Kakashi
Rock Lee
Gaara

Dragonball Z:

Jesus Christ.

EGX has already posted a much bigger, better quality scan. >_> I believe I already said this before.

Metalvirus

The only thing is, Imageshack removed it >.>.

warp

Carter sorry for not seeing it god, no need to yell. It was removed anyway (which I didnt see until metalvirus posted anyway) Thanks for posting it EGX

Myoti

Can the scan be put up again? As said, Imageshack removed it. :/
