Updated - Atari has today confirmed what many had speculated due to the revelation in Japanese publication V-Jump. Check out the full Press Release below:
A[/size][/b]tari, Inc. today announced that Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is in development for Nintendo Revolution. Combining action, fighting and light role-playing game (RPG) elements, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will send players into a rich story mode that spans the entire Dragon Ball, DBZ, and Dragon Ball GT series. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. / Spike, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is slated to release during the 2006 holiday season.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 takes the series' popular acrobatic and intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic and takes it to a whole new level with over 100 playable characters, 15 vast and vibrant 3D destructible environments, and nine different game modes, including single and multiplayer battles.
Matt Collins, Director of Marketing, Atari, Inc., said,
In addition to the unprecedented number of characters, wide selection of massive 3D destructible environments and abundance of game modes, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will feature in-game transformations, which players will be able to trigger in real-time, making battles even more dramatic and exciting than ever before. Using the Nintendo Revolution controller, players will be able to mimic signature moves as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series, such as Goku's Kamehameha, moving both hands to execute this devastating energy attack.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is set for release this holiday season. For more information on Dragon Ball Z video games, please visit http://www.atari.com/.
And as if that was not enough, Nintendo fans, this is the first time a Press Release has described the actual Nintendo Revolution. Read what is stated below:
About Nintendo Revolution
Nintendo's next system, code-named Nintendo Revolution, will feature a controller designed to be used with either one hand or two -- a first in the video game industry. When picked up and pointed at the screen, the controller gives a lightning-quick element of interaction, sensing motion, depth, positioning and targeting dictated by movement of the controller itself.
Certainly one to watch out for! Keep your eyes firmly glued to Cubed3 for further exciting updates...

Original Story -
Appearing on Revo.c4.fr, two scans from Japanese magazine V-Jump have emerged that seem to suggest a Revolution outing for the Dragonball Z games.
According to the scans, the game will be called Dragonball Z: Sparking Neo and will be appearing on Playstation 2 and Nintendo Revolution. 'Sparking' is what the Japanese use to refer to the games known over here as the 'Tenkaichi' Dragonball Z games, so a title more along those lines would be expected in Europe. A new character will be added from previous iterations, and the game was supposedly show-cased using a Gamecube.
Scans (click to enlarge):
It is also noted that screenshots shown in the second scan are from the PS2 version of the game. Quite how a fighting game, particularly one as fast paced as a Dragonball Z game, will work on Revolution is unknown at this time, but more information is likely to appear at E3.

Excuse me... but I know that Dragon Ball Z: Budakai 2 is already on the GC, now is this the same game? a port? Or is a brand new DBZ that will probably also coime to PS3 as well as PS2...?
I get confused, as the Budakai tournament in the manga comics is also called the "Tenkaichi Budakai" So I thought that it may have just been a long way of saying "Budakai 2" :S

Coolio, also, just to say, it's actually called the "Tenka'ichi Budakai" in the mangas, sorry for forgetting that essential "'" 
Anywhoo, I'll prolly get this game, & maybe Budakai 3 for GC (when the port finally comes out!!!!)
Hold on a sec, wasn't there a massive arguement about how hard fighting games on Revo would be? I mean this has already been confirmed, so they must have SOME idea!!

I'm thinking of something like using two controllers, if this is anything to go by:
"players will be able to mimic signature moves as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series, such as Goku's Kamehameha, moving both hands to execute this devastating energy attack."
So you'll have two controllers, and moving each one corresponds with the same side(left or right) in game, and then using a button and moving will make you kick, and then quickly moving both of the controllers down next to you, making the charge motion, will make you power-up or something... hmmm
