Back in February, "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" was introduced as a Japan-only title, much like its predecessors. Fans fervently hoped that it will be released in other regions, too, and it looks like there's some electrifying news for gamers this time.
A Nintendo 3Ds exclusive, the newest fighting game from Bandai Namco and Arc System Works was rated by the Australian Classification Board, a classification body that rates media before they are put up for sale in the country. This indicates that the title may be going overseas.
The game getting a rating from Australia marks the journey of Goku and his friends outside of its home fort. The only thing that's needed is Bandai Namco's official announcement, not that the rating isn't a strong indication of where it's headed.
Now, confidence for the arrival of "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" in North America and Europe is rock-solid and gamers are now on the lookout, much more adamantly than ever before, for details about the title's direction.
Just last week, a trailer for the title that features the game's story mode was released. The trailer contains scenes from a TV commercial, which was also aired in Japan as part of Bandai Namco's marketing campaign. The studio, it seems, is going all out in spreading the word about the game's nearing release.
There are 24 playable characters in "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden," not including the assist characters that will be helping the main fighters during battle. Shonen V-Jump Magazine revealed who these combatants are and Shonen Gamez did the translation.
The game will serve as Super Saiyan God SS Goku's debut in the video gaming world and he will be free to players who transfer their saves from the demo to the final game. The demo was only made available in Japan.
