The April issue of Shueisha’s V Jump magazine is announcing on Saturday that the 2D fighting game franchise Dragon Ball Z: Butōden will arrive on the Nintendo 3DS this summer. Bandai Namco Games’ Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden will feature over 100 fighters in both one-on-one and team battles.
Players can employ “Ultimate Arts” finishing moves, and the game will feature unique layouts and stages. With “Z Assist,” Bulma and Chichi (among other characters) will provide support to players via Bulma’s inventions from Capsule and Chichi’s fury (which fills the screen with a giant speech balloon of her venting).
The franchise debuted on the Super Famicom system in Japan with Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden in 1993. Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butōden ran on the Nintendo DS in 2011.
