Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden (ドラゴンボールZ
Gameplay
Much like Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, characters from the Dragon Ball series can be played 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.
An upcoming patch, releasing in November 2016 in Japan, will allow support for local or online multiplayer, crossover cross-play between the game and One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum, which was also developed by Arc System Works.[4] The latter title is currently only available in Japan.
Reception
Extreme Butōden currently has a score of 60% on Metacritic.[5] 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."[6]
