It has the collectible element of popular games like Magic The Gathering which have continued to receive updates for decades coupled with the benefit of existing in Japan, where arcade gaming is so popular that a major video game company can actually see exiting the video game industry and only making pachinko machines as a profitable business decision.

Arcades are just something you take the kids to so they have something to do while you're having a nice dinner here in the States, but they're Serious Business in Japan.

I wonder, has anyone ever hacked into a DBH machine to grab all the assets and put in on the web for Budokai modding?

How do arcade cabinet files work and would the model transfers be successful?

[up][up]To be fair, Konami is Konami and Konami does not know how to business.

Also, fuck Konami.

Upon clicking, I hear some bland techno music that I can't believe Youtubers are still putting in their videos. :(

It's a better recreation than I expected, and it only confirms my fear that "LEGO Dragonball" will eventually be athing.

Then Beerus starts dancing [lol]. Shame you can't get him to do that spin he did in Battle of Gods. That was one of my favorite scenes.

To be fair, she can't use copyrighted music and the music Spore naturally has is boring. Her work on Spore and her other videos is astounding though.

True.

I've found it's been sort of hit-or-miss.

Still, having a mediocre DBZ LEGO game would be better than no DBZ LEGO game.

.....

Do you think Goku could have used the Spirit Bomb when he first became Super Saiyan God?

I mean, he can't do it while a Super Saiyan cause his heart isn't pure (being filled with rage), and it's likely the same for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, but the first God form was achieved through Five pure hearted Saiyans (and one unborn child) combining their power to give the form to Goku.

In theory, he should be capable of it.

Sure, he would have never had the chance against Beerus, but still. What do you think?

.....Holy shit. Did I just come up with a topic we've never discussed before? 0_0

Where is it ever said that Goku can't use the Spirit Bomb while Super Saiyan?

It's not so much that Goku can't use the Spirit Bomb as a Super Saiyan, not only does the end of the Buu Saga disprove that but anyone can use the Spirit Bomb, it's just that Goku can't gather the energy for it in anything other than Base (and maybe Super Saiyan God).

Movie 7. But there he can just absorb the power anyway. Budokai 3 also seems to support that Super Saiyan Goku can't use it.

The Hatchiyack special has Super Saiyan Goku use it, Heroes has him use it, and Xenoverse has any form of Goku except Super Saiyan 4 use it.

[up] It's never said anywhere he can't gather the energy for it in Super Saiyan. The sources that have him unable to throw it as Super Saiyan still show him gathering the energy.

Where is even that implied? Goku gathered the energy for that Spirit Bomb in base because he reverted from Super Saiyan 3 draining his energy.

Yeah, as far as the manga is concerned, Goku only ever used it when Super Saiyan wasn't an option (prior to achieving it, and then not having the stamina for it).

Oh.

I'd always assumed that he couldn't due to his heart being full of rage while in Super Saiyan, and I thought that was a canon thing.

Well, I guess that's the end of that.

How 'bout d'em Power Levels eh? They sure are bullshit.....

I would go as far as to say that Goku couldn't use it well enough for it to be any use in Super Saiyan... before he trained to minimize the side effects of the super saiyan form.

Either way, it's clear he can still control it as a Super Saiyan, since he transformed to be able to push it against Buu. Nothing says he can't gather the energy while transformed. Even if the transformation once needed him to be overcome with rage, it clearly doesn't for repeated use.
