Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden (ドラゴンボールZ 超究極エクストリーム武闘伝 Doragonbōru Zetto Ekusutorīmu Butōden) is a 2D fighting game for Nintendo 3DS. It was released on June 11, 2015 in Japan, October 16, 2015 in Europe and Australia and October 20, 2015 in North America. [1]

Gameplay

Much like Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, you play as characters from the Dragon Ball series to battle it out.

Development

The game was first revealed at NintendoEverything.com on February 17, 2015.[2] On June 13, 2015, a retailer added a poster hinting a possible localization.[3]

Release

For those who pre-ordered the game in the UK through retailer GAME, or in the US through online retailer Amazon, would receive an email with a code to download the Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2. They would also receive 6 extra Z Assist support characters via an additional code sent a few days following the games release. This extra content was also available through pre-ordering the game digitally via the Nintendo eShop or through purchasing the Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden New 3DS bundle through Nintendo's UK online store. The pre-order characters included, Kid Goku, Baby Goku, Kid Gohan, Super Garlic Jr., Super Vegito, and Meta-Cooler

Reception

It has a score of 60% on Metacritic.[4] Destructoid awarded it a score of 5 out of 10, saying "It’s a competent fighter with nice sprite work, but it also does very little interesting with narrative presentation, combat mechanics, or gameplay modes."[5]
