Son Goku and the Z Soldiers are getting ready to take on their biggest challenge yet: entertaining Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 owners! With the development expertise of Namco Bandai, we're optimistic that we'll have another smashin' good time throwing fireballs and unleashing combos in Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit. We've got the first three official screens handed down by Atari, so go to the full article and have a look at those.

On the latest update of Namco Bandai's Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 official website, Arale finally appears among over 150 characters available in the game. Don't be surprised if you haven't heard of this girl from the Dr. Slump manga, because she's not exactly the popular chick around.

For fans of the Dragon Ball Z manga and anime series, she's remembered as the girl who helped Goku and his friends combat General Blue in a brief saga. She has been a favorite cameo that most Akira Toriyama followers love, but we're among those who can't imagine what she'll be doing in battle.

We've seen Arale in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 scans before, but we are yet to figure out how she'll fight. Will she pick up moves from her Jump Super Stars version, or offer a breathe of fresh air as a female character among burly guys oozing with testosterone? Time will tell, when the game hits the shelves this November 13.

We've all seen the updates and progress of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for the Wii, and its safe to say that Namco Bandai is definitely listening to fans while creating this epic anime brawler. First of all, the huge cast of playable characters in the game is one good indication that ole' Namco Bandai is pulling out all the stops in giving fan service to hardcore DBZ fans. But what about the other popular fan request, the custom character creation?

Producer Donny Clay said that they want to include such a feature in the final game, but they haven't had a chance to fully explore the possibility of implementing such a cool feature. He didn't mention if this is due to hardware, or due to time constraints, but Clay did promise that he will look into including a full custom character creation feature in future DBZ games.

We certainly do hope that such a nifty function will be included in later DBZ titles, complete with the Akira Toriyama look that all Dragon Ball Z fans know and love.

Here's the latest character artwork update for the upcoming fighting game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 from the official site The Sparking! METEOR. These characters were all created by artist Akira Toriyama and should all be playable when the title is finally released this holiday season.

This batch of artworks focus mainly on Super Saiyan characters such as Bardock and Celipa. There are also some renditions of Freeza's brother Cooler when he's in metal form. Amidst all those powerful beings, there is one character that caught our attention. And he is no other than Mr. Satan himself.

Mr. Satan is considered strong for a human being but will definitely have a hard time keeping up with other Dragon Ball Z characters. So we can't help but wonder what skills and powers Mr. Satan has to offer to DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 players?

Well, if you remember your Dragon Ball Z universe well, Mr. Satan was "indirectly" responsible for destroying the wild and evil Kid Buu. What he did was convince everyone to give power to Goku's Genki Dama. So with this kind of luck and charisma on his side, maybe Mr. Satan does have something new to offer.

We guess we'll just wait for Namco Bandai to release DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 to know once and for all.

So, you've read the manga, loved the anime and got hooked on the games, but are you ready to see Son Goku and his friends take on the big screen? 20th Century Fox surely is.

According to Canadian news site Canada.com, 20th Century Fox has given the go-ahead to three major film productions, one of them being a live-action movie based on Akira Toriyama's brainchild.

The movie will reportedly have a budget of no less than US$ 100 million, and will begin production soon with no details as to when it's projected to be shown.

The Dragon Ball Z franchise is considered as one of the most popular literary franchises in the world, with deals encompassing print, TV, video games, clothing and toys. Let's hope that this project yields results that will give justice to the legendary series. We'd love to see how the actors will go Super Saiyan on us.
