Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (also known as Dragon Ball Z: Sparking Neo in Japan) is an upcoming fighting game to be released on Playstation 2 and Wii. It is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. Additional movie characters Turles, Lord Slug and Android 13 (in both forms) have been seen so far. At E3, it was confirmed Tapion, Hildegarn, and Garlic Jr. will be in the game, though no physical evidence has been given for some of the characters. There are to be over 130 characters in this new fighter/roleplayer game. Recently, in game transformations have been confirmed, but it is a new way from the other Dragonball Z: Budokai series of games, this method is to be confirmed soon. From a recent interview it seems possible that fusions may be activated in battle, instead of selecting the fused character. The game has 16 massive arenas, 11 taken from other games and expanded from, and 9 game modes. A customizer has been made to change the characters, but in what ways is yet to be confirmed.
A recent article on 1Up.com indicates that the Nintendo Wii version of the game will feature a unique control scheme using the system's remote controller. It is possible that gamers, using the motion sensing controller, will be able to control their fighters by carrying a remote in each hand and mimicking moves from the series.
Release Date Information
Gamestop has confirmed that it will allow pre-release shipping will be available for US on October 17 2006. However, neoseeker sources state that BT2 will be released later on 25 December 2006, making a Christmas release. It is unsure whether neoseeker is a reliable source as they have the Wii version for Budokai Tenkaichi 2 scheduled for a Q4 2007 release. A recent Japanese website known as Club Dragon Ball however, have announced it is scheduled for release in Japan on October 14 this year. Club Dragon Ball also states that all characters ever featured on any Dragon Ball game will be playable characters in the sequel and that battles will now involve up to four characters fighting simultaneously on the battle field. This is possibly referring to Tag team options. The official site of this game: http://dbzs-neo.jp
