I got yer Dragon Balls. Right here. IN MY HANDS! NOT A EUPHEMISM DAMMIT!
Got a Nintendo 3DS and a severe lack of grown-men screaming while using sheer willpower to change their hair colour? Well you’re in luck, as a new Dragon Ball Z is on the way. Called Dragon Ball Z: Extreme But?den according to V-Jump via Anime News Network, the latest game in the franchise will arrive in the US of A summer on Nintendo’s 3D handheld.
Extreme But?den will apparently boast a roster of over 100 skilled fighters and Yamcha, with one-on-one and team battles forming the backbone of the game. Players can also use “Ultimate Arts” for the DBZ-Outta-Nowhere finishing moves and Z Assists from Bulma to help complement moves in battle. This isn’t the first Butoden game in the Dragon Ball Z franchise.
Back in 1993, Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden debuted, using a Street Fighter style of combat that proved to be quite popular. It popped up every now and again in games such as Super But?den 3 and Shin Butoden , eventually culminating in the Nintendo DS game Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden back in 2011. I’m always down for more Dragon Ball games. But I’d kill for a proper reboot of that GameBoy Advance classic, Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors. All-out battles, one on one in arenas where you could stick to the ground or take the high road and rain down attacks like candy from heaven.
More of that please, so that I can rock my inner Shenron.

It’s true and there have been different sets on of these balls on Namek and on Earth. Some allows more than one wish and even the summoned dragon looks different. Yet there are always seven balls.

I wish we could get a new Legcay of Goku rather. I’d even settle for a new Attack of the Saiyans which I freaking LOVED….Butoden…meh.

I still need to play the sequel Legacy of Goku games. One day. one day…

One day indeed. Have you played Attack of the Saiyans? Was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Was pure flash.

DBZ and RPGs do not match, at all. Fast-pased, over-the-top animation does not translate to slow ARPG combat or turn-based battles.

Wait, you have Goten and Trunks along with Gotenks in the header?
