Budokai 3 Videos

We have some new videos for everyone! Devrived from one of the videos is the fact that, a saiyan can go to super saiyan 4 without turning into a Gorilla! Watch as Goku and Vegeta go SS4 from their saiyan forms directly to super saiyan 4. This was extracted by us from one of the videos of SS4 Vegeta and SS4 Goku fighting inside what appears to be Majin Buu. In addition, we have 5 new videos, featuring the original download link and the compressed, smaller version, created by us. A lot of people told me about these and I thank everyone but the first person to tell me about the first 4 videos was, Amit Kendal, and the first person to tell me about the last one with the Super Saiyan 4's is yoni8 so we thank them, as well as gamesurf.tiscali.it and yahoo for providing the actual videos.  Also, thanks to Amit Kendal, we have more images of Cooler...with yellow forehead?!  View our Budokai 3 Gallery 2 for more pictures on the other version of Cooler. Videos (small): Dragon Universe | Kid Buu vs Goku | Super Buu vs Frieza | Goku vs Vegeta | SS4 Battle Videos (large): Dragon Universe | Kid Buu vs Goku | Super Buu vs Frieza | Goku vs Vegeta | SS4 Battle Comments :: October 24th, 2004

Budokai 3 Artwork

Budokai 3 Artwork - We have a NEW Budokai 3 Artwork Gallery, and this gallery consist of artwork from Budokai 3. These include various characters, such as the characters on the confirmed list on our site, dranet.com, and much more. However, just because these characters are on the list does not mean that they are confirmed to be in the game and vice versa. Budokai 3 Videos Also, we heard people complain that the introduction to Budokai 3 was too large so we compressed it, and you may download it by clicking the following link: Budokai 3 Introduction. In addition to that, thanks to yoni8, for showing us the fight between Piccolo and Vegeta but it was 70mb!! so I recompressed it to under 10mb. Also, credit for the wonderful Budokai 3 Artworks belong to Mystic Gohan for informing me about it, as well as JeuxActu.com for providing the artworks. Again, I really want to give props for them for doing so. Update: Thanks to Vegeta Universe for finding this video, it is a trailer which includes part of the SS4 Fusion dance and also includes a battle with Gohan and Uub. And with great thanks to ssj4 evil, he provided us with a picture of the Golden Gorilla but, sadly, this image of the Golden Gorilla is fake. The french DBZ enthusiast emailed me and told me, "My goal was the fun with this picture, not to believe to people the Golden Ohozaru are in the game." It is fake but I'll leave the image up because it's so cleverly done by our wonderful French artist, Genki. Comments :: October 22th, 2004
