Damn, they should just do Budokai 3 simultaneously. =/

 

[TheDiave]

I hear ya...

Granted, I already have Budokai 2 on PS2, so I'm not jones'ing for a GameCube rendition, but yeah, they should just release 3 on both at the same time.

 

[Ronin]

Thats just retarded.

 

[M3wThr33]

It's like that Godzilla 2 article that was spoofed a while back.
They release DBZ:B2 far after the PS2 version and use the lower sales as a reason of the Cube sucking, where they probably could have gotten twice as much by releasing it at the same damn time.

 

[hirokazu]

are these Budokai games actually fun, or are the kiddies only snapping it up because its Dragonball?

 

[Overseer]

I don't have the game but I have played it. It is button mashing at its best or worse. SCII rulez over all anyway.

Normally that would be true, but Budokai on the Cube has done almost 400,000. WHile it is pretty stupid to release a port so late, I imagine it'll still sell.

OMG, really? I guess Budokai 2 is justified then.

Yeah, I don't really see how this approach is any more beneficial sales-wise than just launching both products simultaneously. IIRC, I don't even think the original Budokai had any bonus content when it came to the GC -- just the exact same game a year later.

 

[FoneBone]

I think it had cel-shading.

It was completely out of left field when i saw the sales numbers. I guess the budget price and the gba owners who bought the shitty Legacy of Goku games ate it up.

Whoa. I seriously clicked on this topic thinking "Boktai 2 for GameCube". It's not healthy to browse so early after waking up.

Heh same here (and probably for the same reason ). I was wondering how the hell that would work.
