Fans of Japanese culture, including games and TV, are sure to be familiar with Dragon Ball Z, a franchise that's been relatively common on Nintendo hardware since the days of the original Famicom. Though not all modern entries make it to Nintendo systems there's still decent support, particularly in the handheld space.

Fans of the brand and 2D fighting games may have another title for their wishlist, then, with Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Budoten heading to the 3DS in Japan this Summer. Announced in V Jump magazine, it's said to feature over 100 characters in individual and team battles, with drama set to be delivered in "Ultimate Arts" finishing moves and "Z Assist" moves through some characters.

In concept it seems in line with DS title Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden; unfortunately that brawler never made it out of Japan.

Are you a Dragon Ball Z fan hoping to see this in the West?
