"Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" is officially coming to the west, making more gamers very happy. But this is just a taster of Bandai Namco's plans for fans of the title. The game publisher has fashioned a bundle pack that gamers wouldn't want to forgo.
The special bundle promo includes a Nintendo 3DS Black with "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" pre-installed. In addition, buyers will also get cover plates. However, the design for these goodies have yet to be revealed.
But the coolest inclusion in the bundle is a digital version of the SNES fighting game "Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2." Although it wouldn't be translated to English, the title, which was released exclusively in Japan more than a decade ago, will mark its arrival in the west.
Media outlets assure fans that the classic fighting game's Japanese language settings won't be much of a bother as it is known as a pretty straightforward game. Its inclusion is enough to be happy about, knowing the title is regarded as one of the best tie-up fighting games in the "Dragon Ball" gaming universe.
Meanwhile, "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" has 20 playable characters and more than 100 support fighters. It introduces Goku's most powerful form yet, the Super Saiyan God SS Goku, which was free to all those who transferred their demo saves to the full game.
"Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" will be released in the U.S. on Oct. 20. Gamers in Europe, Middle-East and Australasia will get it four days earlier. The latest "Dragon Ball Z" title looks like it won't be Bandai Namco's last outside Japan as the company seems to be very committed to pleasing fans all over the world.
"Bandai Namco is listening to fans and will keep on surprising them over the next few years," Herve Hoerdt, vice president of Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe Marketing & Digital, told IGN. "In the meantime, everybody will enjoy a high-quality fighting game based on one of the most emblematic Anime & Manga ever created!"
