You failed to mention that, while usually we only got to play as the heroes in the story mode, in Tenkaichi 3 we got to play as the villains in those matches where in the series the heroes lose, and at the time this feature blew my mind.
@@robertrogers074 yeah whats your point? He didn't say he was exclusively talking about the wii version, even pointed out the wii version's differences
I'll add onto reminiscing the game. Around the same age. I bought my first PS2 from my dad's friend, who was getting rid of it on behalf of his college student son. It had Tenkaichi 2 bundled with it. I've known Dragon Ball, never played their games till then. It was amazing. At some point, I no longer owned the game. I don't know if it was lost during the move or accidentally sold off. I'm an adult now, I'll find and rebuy the game again, someday.
I really appreciated how comprehensive the story mode of Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is. I never fully experienced Dragon Ball’s anime/manga and that game finally cleared all the random holes in the story I had. Im glad the series is so much more easily accessible now for new and old fans alike!
Same for me, it's actually surprising how much knowledge you get on the serie by playing it. It's very comprehensive and there is just enough details so that you know what's important for the lore and the fights.
"Please let me know if you'd like me to cover more x games". Flandrew I need you to understand there isn't a person watching this who'll say no to more of your videos. You rock!
Bt2 is still my favourite dragon ball game the fact it has an amazing OST and story and a fantastic Roster it's seriously underrated as a dragon ball game
@@freezasama5802 100% agreed. specially the character selection screen ost. im so glad to say that i still own a ps2 and the bt2 game. i play it from time to time and it feels fking amazing every single time. ive played xv1 and xv2 as well and theyre no where near bt2. i was so disappointed after playing xv that i had go back and replay bt2 again to make myself happy lmao. really really looking forward to sparking zero.
@@smaamirtyagdal3106 I never managed to get a ps2 however I did manage to emulate it on my laptop and it's amazing. The fact lost courage is specifically for Gohan ssj2 because he loses his courage, hands in the sky is for the spirit bomb against kid Buu, dark half is for omega Shenron because the Dragon balls have a dark half, ancient mystery is for Trunks because he comes out of nowhere and is a mystery and so many more these tracks are really underappreciated by fans they honestly cooked hard with these tracks they are incredible especially that we got soo many for one game
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is still one of my all time favorite DB games. I spent hours of my life watching cpu characters fight each other on the hardest difficulty. Loved watching some of the weirdest fights and tournaments of my making. Good times. I would love more Dragon Ball game videos!
A video about Advanced Adventure would be amazing it's such a hidden gem A secret input to access a secret minigame was literally discovered 3 weeks ago (May 24 2024) it would be great if more people knew about it
@@jonasjojofalco9896 Perfect one would more of the cutscenes 2 had, with the interactivity of 3. One could say Sparking Zero will have that, but what we saw was "choose your own adventure". Different vibe, kinda different result. It's a more intuitive way to "what if"
Great video! I'd like to see more for sure! My first contact with the Budokai Tenkaichi Series was either BT1 or BT2 when i played it once at a former classmate's house. The next time we went shopping i saw BT2 on a shelf and i asked my mother if i could have it. Since then i fondly remember all the hours i spent playing Budokai Tenkaichi 2 - not only alone but luckily with my brother-in-law and one friend as well! Then that same friend also got Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and he often brought it with him when he came over. We played the Versus mode the entire time and it was a blast! He often took the strong Fusions such as Gogeta or Vegito and i took silly characters like Arale - and often even won! Good times for sure. It taught me a lot about the world of Dragon Ball and it was a bummer to me that i read in a gaming magazine once that they wouldn't continue the Budokai Tenkaichi series.. To everyone's surprise Sparking! ZERO got announced and i am looking forward to it since it was announced last year!
The amount of comparison videos I would love to see you do is unbelievable! No matter how much you pump out, know that your work is never complete and you got more and more homework to do 😀
BT3 was really great and I really love the fact that they included so many characters that we did only see a few select times like Devilman and his great what if battle against Frieza and his Soldiers. It blew my mind. That was just the greatest kind of Fanservice.
@@Lumia1175 as a kid I had Supersonic Warriors 2, Tenkaichi Tag Team and the ultimate GOAT: Attack of the Saiyans for the DS. Holy shit was it ever cool! I wanna replay it some time in the near future
Three of the legendary PlayStation 2 games. I remember I used to play them with my younger brother and we enjoy those games together Please make more comparison videos,like Lego lord of the rings,iron man, James bond QoS and make "when philsiopher's stone ruled the world" video
I loved BT2 so much. It blew my mind as a kid how cool a dragonball game could be after only having played wc3 dragonball custom maps and emulated that one snes dbz fighter
I'd love to see you cover the Dragon Ball Z Legacy of Goku series for the GBA. Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury are some of the most well-polished games ever released on the GBA, right up there with Minish Cap in how fun they are to play.
BT3 also had special functionality with BT1 and BT2 where you got bonus in game items. BT2 is also notoriously difficult on level 3 difficulty story mode, it's actually the most difficult in the franchise's history overall.
You sure? I mean I played em both and I swear the AI difficulty is definitely harder on BT3. BUT there are some special mentions: Some enemies in bt2 spam special moves a lot more than any other title. Also rush moves couldn't be guarded in BT2. Kid Buu for example was a nightmare because the second special move is a really quick rush attack that travels a lot. Another nuisance that comes to mind is metal cooler. While he does not have (thankfully) rush moves he does spam his special moves quite a bit.
I don't quite understand the character design complaints A close up of a BT model looks a lot better than a close up of a Budokai model Like idk, one being more polygonal looks worse than the other that's less polygonal looking Maybe I'm misremembering or something but...
Indeed, The Budokai 3 models have very rough textures, and the way they are built, make them look very polygonal and unpleasant. And the shading on each of them doesn't help
BT2 is my favorite DBZ game and I was so hyped when BT3 came out, but never got the chance to play it back then. With all the new dragon ball games that have come out in recent years, I can safely say that no other game ever gave me the feeling of playing out my favorite fights. Super hyped for Sparking Zero
I wouldnt have been a big fan of DB if it wasnt for the fact my brother got BT2 for his birthday. I have so much respect and love towards this series and I still find myself looping the BT2 theme in my head from time to time. :]
Yamcha is definitely the most underrated member of the Gohan Five, lmao Definitely cover more DBZ games! I actually recently picked up Burst Limit for my PS3 myself (As in, two months ago I scooped a copy from eBay). Once I found out it was basically Budokai 5 (Infinite World would be 4), I was like, "Why didn't I get this back in the day?" I always much preferred Dimps' Budokai style games to Spike's Sparking style games anyway. Still, it's always fun to look back at these games. They don't make 'em like this anymore.... though here's hoping they do with Sparking Zero, I guess
I didn’t grow up with the series, but when I heard about how good it was, I had to go back and play it on some emulator and I have never played a better game since.
I'm torn as to which is my favorite -- BT3 has the best roster and stage selection for sure (Muscle Tower and Penguin Village are pure vibes), plus the quicktime progression for the story missions coupled with alternate endings and routes was awesome. Also had the most refined gameplay. But BT2...dude the free roam map, the RPG progression in the story mode with the Z items, and of course the SOUNDTRACK. Made GT feel as epic and conclusive as it should've (even if they took liberties with the actual events).
Missed an opportunity to make an actual Gohan 5 in BT3 by using kid Gohan, teen Gohan, Gohan, future Gohan & Grandpa Gohan. Tragic. In all seriousness super happy to see ya give the BT series a look over cuz these were some of my favorite games as a kid & I'm super hyped for sparking zero
I was practically introduced to DBZ thru Tenkaichi 3 and still consider it the best DBZ game (save for Sparking Zero hopefully). We had the Wii version since we didn't own a ps2 and even though motion controls are a gimmick, BT3 honestly felt really good to play with it. It was my friend's game, so I asked to borrow it one day and "forgot" to return it and still sometimes go back and play thru it again. In fact, I'll play it again before SZ.
I have the best memories with Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series :) the battles and scrapping with my friends was so much fun :) please cover more DB games :)
I must’ve dropped THOUSANDS of hours into BT2 back in the day whoopin ass with the guys. I remember BT3 came out and we called out of school and played that all day Friday Saturday and Sunday. God damn those were the days
Yep. Dad bought a pirated ps2 copy off the flea market. I was familiar with dragonball but wasnt into it, in fact i thought i found it repulsive so i was kinda ungrateful for the gift too. Then i put it on one day to try it, got hooked to the gameplay, started story mode and ended up watching every piece of db media existing
I remember going to my friend’s house a few doors down and loved the hell out of budokai tenkaichi 3(sound I spelled it right) and the fusions and transformations always blew my mind, I have so much nostalgia for that game
I'm very excited for Sparking Zero. Namco Bamdai has really brought back the classic 3D fighting game back, and it looks just like we all remember as kids. I'd never forget when I played Bodukai Tenkaichi 3. Now I'll relive my moments.
8:35 talking about some of BT3s added mechanics but completely neglecting all of the fundamental combat system changes from BT1 to BT2 is certainly a weird choice, but ok, this video seems to focus on content more than gameplay anyway. Since Sonic Sways were directly mentioned, why not go for more gameplay stuff? Like in the BT2 section that it added Flying Kicks/Ground Slash/Lift Strike/Rolling Hammer & completely changed the way these moves are executed, added follow-ups to almost everything, added the Step-In, added 2 new counter types, or in the BT3 section that it removed BT1 and BT2s move cancels, the Power Guard and the 2 counter types BT2 added to replace them with a heavy finish variant, that the Z-Counter was completely changed from BT2, or that the Emergency Blaster Wave (L1 twice) was added to the game as well
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has got to be one of the games I've got the most playtime on. :') I had it on the Wii and now with Sparking Zero coming out, it'll be difficult to re-learn the controls with a gamepad, haha. Absolutely legendary games.
One of my favourite series of all time. Still have my ps2 copies of all these games, and i can't tell you how much I've played these as well as the BT4 mod for PC. Raging Blast 1 + 2 also felt like spiritual successors to the Tenkaichi series since they use very similar mechanics
Something I don’t think enough people appreciate is the in battle damaged models. As the health gets low the models get cuts, scratches, hunch over, hold their left arm etc. and after getting hit with a big enough ki blast the clothes will tear and shred. Something I’ve always loved that as a kid really made me fee immersed in it that hasn’t been capitalized on since so far as I’m aware
It was around 2007 or 2008 we played Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for thousands of hours at that point (me and my brothers, we did challenges, speedruns, handicapped fights etc.) it was awesome (we customized every character except for Guldo because fuck Guldo and if you got Guldo in the random character selection it was a disadvantage xD) and we knew there was a Budokai Tenkaichi 3 around 2009 but we never got it, no matter how much we searched for it. That is one of the biggest regrets of my gaming moments xD that we never found it at the time and enjoyed it as just a kid can. But we had so much fun with Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
Tenkaichi 3 on Wii was a random Christmas present from my brother years ago. I acted like a Budokai purist among other DBZ fans at the time, but when I played Tenkaichi 3, I ended up having a blast with it. Still probably one of my most played, most beloved Wii games. Still, I gotta admit, when Xenoverse came along, I really kind if felt like it was a sufficient replacement for the style. I missed the titanic roster size, but the fast gameplay and free flight and stuff seemed like it made Xenoverse the worthy successor. Sparking Zero does looks solid, and I do appreciate the differences in their goals a bit more now, but it still feels weird their niches seem so similar. I’d have rather had a new Budokai. You can argue Budokai’s niche has been filled by Fighterz, but gameplay wise I just found Budokai more fun. If Fighterz fills the competitive traditional fighter niche, I wish we could have Budokai back filling a more casual side of it.
I remember reading a kids magazine in 05 that said BT1 would have a create a character mode which turned out not to be true. I remember getting the game for Christmas that year and cracking the corner of the cover. I was so confused in.BT1 when I saw Janemba because Fusion Reborn wouldn’t get dubbed until the following year. I also loved the What If story where the villains band together to beat the heroes,even if Mecha Frieza vs Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Final Form Cooler vs Gogeta didn’t make any sense. BT3 also gave us King Vegeta and King Cold which were pretty cool. One thing you didn’t mention about BT3 is that the PS2 version had disc fusion which allowed you to import the challenge modes from BT1 and 2 into 3. You should do the two Raging Blast games and pair them with Burst Limit. The Legacy of Goku Trilogy would also be great.
I remember playing These Games with my Friends a Ton when we we're young. We battled so much that we got sores in our hands from circling the thumbsticks.
Would boot them up on my ps2 first thing as i came back from school and those days when you act sick to stay home only to play this game all day, simpler times
I think some younger folks don't realize how crazy Sparking 3 is by not only its time, but more so today's standards. it had the most comprehensive DB roster to date, being rivaled only now by Heroes and XV2, but even then, it took risks by adding really unexpected characters for the time, like General Blue and Chi-chi, really, the only character I missed was non-SSJ4 GT Vegeta. imagine a current fighting game, now look at the pre-order bonuses, now Season Pass, now see if there's more than one, but now imagine every character comes by default. Sparking 3 had the second biggest roster in video game history, losing only to Tobal 2, which had Akira Toriyama as artist, btw. some people critique the Sparking series for not adhering to fighting games' conventions and being too casual, but it's fun and is filled to the brim with fan service, so for what we got, it's enough for me
I mean how many characters the game has is still impressive but tbh when you consider they could kinda just port over the characters from the previous games it's not that crazy. What IS crazy is sparking zero having more characters on release without having the luxury of just porting characters from an older game
@@jeffboy4231 I think the fact that it had so much content without any sort of game-breaking bug makes the game even more impressive comparing to today. a sixth-generation title being more optimized than many games today is nothing to scoff at, even with re-used characters and assets. there're many modern releases that re-use things and STILL can't do what Sparking 3 did, so it's not that simple
@@40088922 it was the fully same engine, they got the game out in a year, a year is NOTHING for game development, it just shows that they didn't really have that much to do really
In high school, I would go to my friends house, smoke a lot of weed, and we'd play 5v5 budokai tenkaichi 3. We'd even have other friends join us and cheer us on haha. We did this for years after release. Some of the best times of my teenage years 🤣
Yay new flandrew. I was really considering starting my tenkaichi 2 over cuz I cannot bring myself to ever get rid of 100% everything and all z rank clears on all mission 100 that I have in 3. It's all flawless and must be kept until my wii itself dies entirely. But 2 I can restart without feeling like I cut a piece of my heart out. I don't even have a real box for 2, just the gamestop generic box from like 09
You just described what I felt about Tenkaichi’s graphics. They were good of course, but I feel character design and body proportions were much better in Budokai 3, and much closer to the anime counterparts.
I love the Tenkaichi games And I can’t wait for sparking zero Just like everyone else I’m gonna be playing the hell out of the game when I get to play it 3 days early You should Cover burst limit It holds a special place in my heart because it’s what introduced me to dragon ball
My first experience with this game was a few years ago when i was high and started playing it with my step brother. I was trying so hard not to let him know that i was high so I played with him. I remember being shocked by the character size.
Budokai Tenkaichi on the Wii is so good that someone like me who has never been into Dragon Ball had a really good time playing through it and with the local multiplayer.
Tenkaichi 3 is still my favorite, it’s not the most deep but all the stuff you get with it makes it really fun. It was the last Dragon Ball game I bothered buying until FighterZ
I had never played BT2, but I played the heck out of the 1st and 3rd. Still mad the splitscreen in Sparking Zero is only available in the Time Chamber. Surprised that you didn't mention the Gogeta Vs. Broly fight in BT3's intro sequence predating Super: Broly.
Good comparison. It's too bad that you didn't include TeamBT4's modded Tenkaichi 3. It's essentially Tenkaichi 4 if it came out on PS2 today. It even has fully voiced and animated cutscenes for the brand-new Super Saga.
You failed to mention that, while usually we only got to play as the heroes in the story mode, in Tenkaichi 3 we got to play as the villains in those matches where in the series the heroes lose, and at the time this feature blew my mind.

It was my friend's game, so I asked to borrow it one day and "forgot" to return it and still sometimes go back and play thru it again. In fact, I'll play it again before SZ.
Thank you for playing old games in their 4:3 ratio and original resolution.
I have the best memories with Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series :) the battles and scrapping with my friends was so much fun :) please cover more DB games :)
I must’ve dropped THOUSANDS of hours into BT2 back in the day whoopin ass with the guys. I remember BT3 came out and we called out of school and played that all day Friday Saturday and Sunday. God damn those were the days
Budokai Tenkaichi is basically what got me into Dragon Ball. Funnily, it came in a Dragon Quest box
Same here.
Yep. Dad bought a pirated ps2 copy off the flea market. I was familiar with dragonball but wasnt into it, in fact i thought i found it repulsive so i was kinda ungrateful for the gift too. Then i put it on one day to try it, got hooked to the gameplay, started story mode and ended up watching every piece of db media existing
I remember going to my friend’s house a few doors down and loved the hell out of budokai tenkaichi 3(sound I spelled it right) and the fusions and transformations always blew my mind, I have so much nostalgia for that game
I'm very excited for Sparking Zero. Namco Bamdai has really brought back the classic 3D fighting game back, and it looks just like we all remember as kids. I'd never forget when I played Bodukai Tenkaichi 3. Now I'll relive my moments.
I've only ever played 2, but I played THE HELL out of it.
8:35 talking about some of BT3s added mechanics but completely neglecting all of the fundamental combat system changes from BT1 to BT2 is certainly a weird choice, but ok, this video seems to focus on content more than gameplay anyway.
Since Sonic Sways were directly mentioned, why not go for more gameplay stuff? Like in the BT2 section that it added Flying Kicks/Ground Slash/Lift Strike/Rolling Hammer & completely changed the way these moves are executed, added follow-ups to almost everything, added the Step-In, added 2 new counter types, or in the BT3 section that it removed BT1 and BT2s move cancels, the Power Guard and the 2 counter types BT2 added to replace them with a heavy finish variant, that the Z-Counter was completely changed from BT2, or that the Emergency Blaster Wave (L1 twice) was added to the game as well
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has got to be one of the games I've got the most playtime on. :') I had it on the Wii and now with Sparking Zero coming out, it'll be difficult to re-learn the controls with a gamepad, haha. Absolutely legendary games.
Great video! Covered my childhood excellently!
One of my favourite series of all time. Still have my ps2 copies of all these games, and i can't tell you how much I've played these as well as the BT4 mod for PC. Raging Blast 1 + 2 also felt like spiritual successors to the Tenkaichi series since they use very similar mechanics
The game of my childhood, I remember getting BT3 for Christmas after playing BT2 with my cousin. I hate they took out the open world concept though
If you'd ever be down for it, I'd love to see you talk about the Dragon Ball games for the Gameboy! Those were really fun and unique.
Something I don’t think enough people appreciate is the in battle damaged models. As the health gets low the models get cuts, scratches, hunch over, hold their left arm etc. and after getting hit with a big enough ki blast the clothes will tear and shred. Something I’ve always loved that as a kid really made me fee immersed in it that hasn’t been capitalized on since so far as I’m aware
It was around 2007 or 2008 we played Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for thousands of hours at that point (me and my brothers, we did challenges, speedruns, handicapped fights etc.) it was awesome (we customized every character except for Guldo because fuck Guldo and if you got Guldo in the random character selection it was a disadvantage xD) and we knew there was a Budokai Tenkaichi 3 around 2009 but we never got it, no matter how much we searched for it.
That is one of the biggest regrets of my gaming moments xD that we never found it at the time and enjoyed it as just a kid can. But we had so much fun with Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
i loved the load screen mini games lol eating bowls of ramen or pulling swords out the ground
Tenkaichi 3 on Wii was a random Christmas present from my brother years ago. I acted like a Budokai purist among other DBZ fans at the time, but when I played Tenkaichi 3, I ended up having a blast with it. Still probably one of my most played, most beloved Wii games.
Still, I gotta admit, when Xenoverse came along, I really kind if felt like it was a sufficient replacement for the style. I missed the titanic roster size, but the fast gameplay and free flight and stuff seemed like it made Xenoverse the worthy successor.
Sparking Zero does looks solid, and I do appreciate the differences in their goals a bit more now, but it still feels weird their niches seem so similar.
I’d have rather had a new Budokai. You can argue Budokai’s niche has been filled by Fighterz, but gameplay wise I just found Budokai more fun. If Fighterz fills the competitive traditional fighter niche, I wish we could have Budokai back filling a more casual side of it.
I remember reading a kids magazine in 05 that said BT1 would have a create a character mode which turned out not to be true. I remember getting the game for Christmas that year and cracking the corner of the cover. I was so confused in.BT1 when I saw Janemba because Fusion Reborn wouldn’t get dubbed until the following year. I also loved the What If story where the villains band together to beat the heroes,even if Mecha Frieza vs Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Final Form Cooler vs Gogeta didn’t make any sense. BT3 also gave us King Vegeta and King Cold which were pretty cool. One thing you didn’t mention about BT3 is that the PS2 version had disc fusion which allowed you to import the challenge modes from BT1 and 2 into 3. You should do the two Raging Blast games and pair them with Burst Limit. The Legacy of Goku Trilogy would also be great.
I remember playing These Games with my Friends a Ton when we we're young.
We battled so much that we got sores in our hands from circling the thumbsticks.
Please do Legendary Super Warriors next
I'm 30 now... Still playing BT4 "Modded" but I fkn miss the old times, playing Budokai with my mates, I could cry tbh :S
I still love these games
Would boot them up on my ps2 first thing as i came back from school and those days when you act sick to stay home only to play this game all day, simpler times
Nice bro! I'm making a video on the mechanics/controls.
I think some younger folks don't realize how crazy Sparking 3 is by not only its time, but more so today's standards. it had the most comprehensive DB roster to date, being rivaled only now by Heroes and XV2, but even then, it took risks by adding really unexpected characters for the time, like General Blue and Chi-chi, really, the only character I missed was non-SSJ4 GT Vegeta. imagine a current fighting game, now look at the pre-order bonuses, now Season Pass, now see if there's more than one, but now imagine every character comes by default. Sparking 3 had the second biggest roster in video game history, losing only to Tobal 2, which had Akira Toriyama as artist, btw. some people critique the Sparking series for not adhering to fighting games' conventions and being too casual, but it's fun and is filled to the brim with fan service, so for what we got, it's enough for me
I mean how many characters the game has is still impressive but tbh when you consider they could kinda just port over the characters from the previous games it's not that crazy.
What IS crazy is sparking zero having more characters on release without having the luxury of just porting characters from an older game
@@jeffboy4231 I think the fact that it had so much content without any sort of game-breaking bug makes the game even more impressive comparing to today. a sixth-generation title being more optimized than many games today is nothing to scoff at, even with re-used characters and assets. there're many modern releases that re-use things and STILL can't do what Sparking 3 did, so it's not that simple
@@40088922 it was the fully same engine, they got the game out in a year, a year is NOTHING for game development, it just shows that they didn't really have that much to do really
It’s sort of interesting that 2 decades later we finally get in game graphics and quality comparable to the BUDOKAI TENKAICHI INTROS
In high school, I would go to my friends house, smoke a lot of weed, and we'd play 5v5 budokai tenkaichi 3. We'd even have other friends join us and cheer us on haha. We did this for years after release. Some of the best times of my teenage years 🤣
Yay new flandrew. I was really considering starting my tenkaichi 2 over cuz I cannot bring myself to ever get rid of 100% everything and all z rank clears on all mission 100 that I have in 3. It's all flawless and must be kept until my wii itself dies entirely. But 2 I can restart without feeling like I cut a piece of my heart out. I don't even have a real box for 2, just the gamestop generic box from like 09
Any chance of covering other anime franchise games? (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Yugioh etc.)
LETS FUCKING GO i been WAITING for this!!!!
6:11 you could've put Grandpa Gohan to actually make it the Gohan 5.
You just described what I felt about Tenkaichi’s graphics. They were good of course, but I feel character design and body proportions were much better in Budokai 3, and much closer to the anime counterparts.
I love how bro roasted Chi-chi about how Piccolo raised Gohan
I love the Tenkaichi games
And I can’t wait for sparking zero
Just like everyone else
I’m gonna be playing the hell out of the game when I get to play it 3 days early
You should Cover burst limit
It holds a special place in my heart because it’s what introduced me to dragon ball
the floating spirit bomb that grows was my favorite part of this game.. it would be cool to bring that back in sparking zero.
Dbz tenkaichi 2 has the best sound tracks of all dbz games
My first experience with this game was a few years ago when i was high and started playing it with my step brother. I was trying so hard not to let him know that i was high so I played with him. I remember being shocked by the character size.
Budokai Tenkaichi on the Wii is so good that someone like me who has never been into Dragon Ball had a really good time playing through it and with the local multiplayer.
These games were my childhood
Tenkaichi 3 is still my favorite, it’s not the most deep but all the stuff you get with it makes it really fun. It was the last Dragon Ball game I bothered buying until FighterZ
Drew is on a nostalgia row.😊
I had never played BT2, but I played the heck out of the 1st and 3rd. Still mad the splitscreen in Sparking Zero is only available in the Time Chamber.
Surprised that you didn't mention the Gogeta Vs. Broly fight in BT3's intro sequence predating Super: Broly.
That battle was also in the intro of Budokai 3, so that predates even this one.
One of my favorite games back in the day
I had BT2 and played it religously lol
Would love to see Burst Limit, or the PSP Dragon Ball games get covered! Or Raging Blast!
I think the Raging Blast games are worth a look
Good comparison. It's too bad that you didn't include TeamBT4's modded Tenkaichi 3. It's essentially Tenkaichi 4 if it came out on PS2 today. It even has fully voiced and animated cutscenes for the brand-new Super Saga.
Do you plan on making more ai storytime videos?
I would like to see you review advanced adventure pretty cool game
Yes, PLEASE more Dragonball 🙏 Advanced Adventure would be a great start
"you know, the one where everybody's being dipped in baby oil" 💀
Would love to see the various Naruto games covered! Especially these older franchises:
Clash of Ninja series
Ultimate Ninja series
Uzumaki Chronicles
We appreciated these games back in the day but todays gamers would just call 2 and 3 dlcs
4:28 FACTS, one thing you can't clown Yamcha on is his drip!
