This will definately be one of my first Wii titles I'll be picking up. 120 characters <3 This is very good news, I thought it was pushed back and was not going to be a launch title. I'm glad that turned out to be false.

TJ SpykeNovember 03, 2006

Why isn't it a launch title though? All the reports i've seen (including that woman from Atari) say it comes out the week after launch, like 2 days after launch.

^ It is a launch title, isn't that what the press release says?!

I will only get this game if it has the option to change dialogue and music to Japanese.

TJ SpykeNovember 03, 2006

Oops, I missed that part. I was hoping it wouldn't be since this is 1 more title I must consider.

At least I can save money by not having to buy the Classic Controller.

Maybe it will show up in stores a little early, like some of the Xbox 360 titles did.

DBZ Tenkaichi for the PS2 had that option, so I assume this one will too.

After all, the game IS being promoted as a 2006 title in Japan.

TJ SpykeNovember 04, 2006

Did they move it up? I remember reading a few weeks ago that the Japanese Wii version was delayed until at least January 2007, and when IGN posted videos of 2007 titles from Nintendo World DBZ was featured in it.
