Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden

About

Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden is a 2D fighting game from Arc System Works that brings the series to Nintendo 3DS. It features over 100 playable characters including Goku, Vegeta, and Buu across one-on-one and team battles. The story mode lets players take control of heroes or villains through key sagas. A demo offered limited access to five stages and four characters, giving a taste of the game’s depth before its June 2015 Japanese release. The game’s standout is its massive roster and flexible combat options. While localized versions for Western audiences were confirmed, they arrived months after launch. The 3DS port adds portability to intense battles, though online multiplayer isn’t mentioned. With a focus on accessibility and variety, it caters to both casual and competitive players.
