The latest Dragon Ball Z game from Namco Bandai, known as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in the US, is to be released on the Wii and Playstation 2. Compared to Budokai Tenkaichi 2 which featured 120 characters, this version has 160 fully playable characters from the world of Dragon Ball Z including some designed exclusively for this game making it the largest character roster in any Dragon Ball Z game, it also has over 30 different stages to do battle on and vastly improved graphics. The Wii version, will feature online play, making it one of the few Wii games so far to support this feature. It also takes full advantage of the Wii control system, but relies on the motion of the controllers instead of the sensor bar for input and shows an animation in the bottom left-hand corner demonstrating how to perform techniques, making controlling your character tighter, more reliable and easier than in the previous version. The simplified control system is much more intuitive, with the Nunchucks analog stick controlling basic movement, the C and Z buttons for vertical movement and the A and B buttons for basic attacks, each character also has three special gesture attacks which mimic the Dragon Ball Z character making them more intuitive and fun to implement. There are about 10 game modes including a completely new story mode, and the game is set for release from October in Japan and the US from November.
