I am already sold on this. The only question remains is will I have to import from Japan to get a physical?
Since 16 is in the beta. Time to dunk a lot of Switch users who use Goku
Gonna try this, seems like they did a great effort porting the game. Kudos.
@GrailUK well its on amazon... for now lol

I can’t find it on the eshop. I live in LA. Don’t know if that makes a difference. Where should I look?
Really looking forward to this!!!! With this in September and My Hero Academia in August I couldn’t be more pleased
@DockEllisD Good looking out. Thank you
Just downloaded it.
I'm in Italy, so next friday I will have to wake up soon
I only dabble in these type of fighters, but I like Dragonball Z so, I'll give it a shot and have a little fun. Why not?
i'd like to try it.
mainly to see how it plays. i tried to like the '3d' games but the fights were just all over the place and too confusing to be fun. hopefully sticking them on a 2d plane will help that.
also like to see how it runs. from what i've seen it looks close to the big boy versions but i need to judge for myself. framerate will be key but if it's some super low floating resolution or whatever no thanks.
@GrailUK
It should come physically, at least in Europe. On the austrian Nintendo site it says "Switch Karte"(Switch card)".
Done!... not buying it, but happy to do a few free rounds like ARMS beta.
@Gen0neD I am in NYC and just searched "Dragon Ball"... and Xenoverse 2 and this comes up.
@Agramonte On the NA store? Because I searched Dragonball and got nothing
@Malcrash You have good taste in characters.
@Gen0neD yeah... Dragon Ball (space)
@Agramonte Ok, yup. I did it all as one word. Got it. I’ll do it when I get home. Thanks
@Gen0neD 👍
@Agramonte
awesome. if it were just relegated to the jp store i'd probably not even mess with it.
guess N needs some lessons in search.... :/
@sword_9mm Yeah. They need to implement the PSN search system where it starts giving you possible results as you type. Also, DragonBall / Dragon Ball should come back as a hit regardless
Vegeta!!!! Super Saiyan!!!! Nintendo switch ultimate edition including all DLC characters,content and preorder to include an old Snes classic Dragon balls Z game + crossplay platform!! Sold!!!
1v1 is HUGE for me personally. I never was good at team synergy and this seems like a great way to build up to 3v3.
I never got a match in the PS4 BETA, so hopefully this will give me the taste I need to pick between this, Blade Stangers, the Seth Killian fighter that's supposed to drop this summer on Switch, or Soul Calibur 6 for the next fighter to sink my teeth into.
I wonder if Riot's fighter will be on Switch as well...
I...pray... Port Mortal Kombat X to the switch
And KOF14... And Soul Calibur... And Tekken 7... And Street fighter 5
