Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, the 2D brawler from Bandai Namco, is heading to 3DS in the West in October. While more details are sure to be shown off as release approaches, Europeans planning to pick it up have plenty of reason to be happy courtesy of some pre-order and bundle incentives.
First of all is the surprising confirmation of a rather handsome New Nintendo 3DS bundle that'll arrive alongside the game on 16th October in Europe. As you can see below it includes a black system, a pre-installed copy of the game, some gorgeous cover plates and a download code for the Super Famicom (SNES) Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2. This is the same deal that previously arrived in Japan, but this will make it the first SNES download on the 3DS in the West.
There'll also be a pre-order special edition of the game - again, confirmed for Europe right now - which will have early access to six support characters and that download code for Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2.
While the idea of a SNES game running on 3DS is old-hat in Japan, it's pretty neat to see it making its way to the West.
A new trailer for this October arrival is below. Are you tempted to pick it up?

This should be the New 3DS bundle Reggie said may be released in North America
I want this in north America but I'm not gonna buy another new 3ds for that. You think the game will make it here?
Yes I will defo be getting this.
SNES titles on 3DS!!
THE SEAL HAS BEEN BROKEN!!!
I want the faceplates!!
Also, FINALLY there seem to be SNES titles coming for 3DS, i really hope more will follow!
super boutden 2! awesome, to bad not in the states.
@MightyKrypto
me too, i also want to play snes game on my 3ds as well
already got a new 3ds so i might get the normal copies but i might preorder it just for the snes game. (i'm not really a dragonball z fan, but i am a fan of the meme in dragonball z anime so i might give this game a chance)
No thanks. I've got my New 3DS XL Metallic Blue.
I want to buy those faceplates but I already have a new 3DS...
Wii U bundle w/ Zenoverse would be a nice substitute in the US.
If only i didnt have to buy another 3ds for this. Which it came in a bundle with just he faceplate and code. Regardless ill be getting the game thats for sure, shame i miss out on the SNES game though.
Is this up for preorder yet?
This is amazing. I love DBZ, but I am expecting the game to be average at best. The SNES game has me sold though. Does anyone know if the game is 'virtual console'? Or has it been ported to 3DS?
Might even pick up those faceplates if they're sold separately.
Oh my, now THIS might get me to get a New 3DS. If I lived in Europe.
Also, I'm more surprised about Super Butoden 2 not being...you know...translated. Especially because some people out there have done fan-translations. And the game actually has some segments of Japanese dialogue. So...
(Also also, I want to see what Baby Goku would do as a support character. )
@rjejr I was wanting this bundle to come stateside, but I would definitely settle for Xenoverse on the Wii U.
Please can we get this in the states??? Lol
@Samuel-Flutter - It's PS3/Xbox360 games like DBZXV not being on Wii U which makes me wonder why anybody thinks NX will get PS4/X1 games?
Destiny I get, it's a FPS, supposedly nobody wants those on Wii U, GTAV, too bloody, MGSV, too whatever (though Snake was in SSBB), but a cartoony looking DBZ? Wii U can't even get that? But somehow Nintneod is going to win 3rd party support back w/ NX? I'll believe it when I see it.
@Moon
No, it's not in VC and hasn't been ported to 3DS.... maybe in Japan but I don't think so
@soma Thanks for the reply
Welp...it seems that if anyone wants this game, they are forced to pre order.
Wazzah?! Free SNES game for 3DS?! If that offer is in North America as well, I'm actually gonna have to pre-order that one. I was gonna pick it up anyways, but hey...
@rjejr The only way that I see that it would be possible is if the architecture of the NX is similar to that of the PS4 and XBO. If that were the case and costs were low to port games to the NX, then most games should come over. If the profit from selling on the NX exceeds the cost to make the games then developers would have no hesitation in bringing games over. That is, of course, unless the prevailing rumor is true and third party developers just hate Nintendo.
I want this in NA!
@Samuel-Flutter - That paragraph needs more "ifs".
Should have been the European version, not the Japanese version.
**** you, NoA.
I'm so jelly. ;___;
Everytime such articles comes out, it freaking fuels my hatred towards Nintendo NA.
Hey NA Nintendo! I want that SNES game too. Give it! And I've already pre-ordered this bad boy. Cater to your fans!
So, do you have to preorder at a specific gamestore in order to get all those goodies? Sorry for my stupidity, this is the first time I'm actually gonna preorder a game. (Except for Super Smash Bros for Wii U but I solely preordered the game and not any extras).
I so just want the code and also need to know if snes will work on old 3ds. Plus could this hint to more SNES titles to the 3DS system??
I can't wait for it to come out. I know that game would be fun. What really love about the 3ds Bundle, is it comes with dragonball z cover plates for the 3ds, which really nice.
I love the Super Butoden/Hyper Dimension game series on Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, and Super NES so I look forward to this one.
Looking good for North America getting Super Butoden 2 and the extra support characters as well, then, if Europe and the UK are getting 'em. As soon as it's confirmed we'll get a similar preorder deal, I am so on that.
Even changed my profile picture in anticipation.
Checking the video, though, it doesn't look like SS4 Vegeta or Golden Freeza are part of it. That's okay, though. I'll take Vegito.
i bought the guide but don't know how to access jaco and gine. Does anyone know how to download them?
