Hmmm even with Google translate, i'm unable to really understand what's being mentioned

Would anyone be willing to provide some details on what's stated in the interview? At the very least, the most important parts to consider?

The game is definitely coming to Europe and Australia, so at the very least, you guys can buy an foreign English version and then use one of the exploits to play it, although you can play the Japanese just fine without speaking Japanese. I've been playing for a few days, and I'm having no problems. The only things you'll miss are dialogue in the story mode, but I'm pretty sure everyone at Kanzenshuu knows the story well enough that they don't need that.

Or, just... like... wait until they announce it on their own independent of any other event that would overshadow its announcement. I guess.

For what it's worth, we do cover this information on the website, and proper context for things like prior console and prior handheld games sales are included... :)

Adding some more context I'm not sure I'd call that a strong debut. Famitsu reports that it sold 40-60% of its initial shipment. Bandai Namco and retailers were clearly expecting more. The game isn't having the greatest word of mouth, but with Super looming it may recover easily.

There's a website now?

Anyway I hope for all of the international releases, you don't have to jump through so many hoops to get all of the support characters (or as we called them in my day, strikers). Pre-order this, have a save of that, pre-order it here, pre-order it there, buy the game guide, spin around in your chair three times and summon the Dark Lord Dabra... and you still won't have even a fraction of what's out there.

For anyone wondering how to unlock SSGSS Goku, SSGSS Vegeta, and SS4 Vegeta with games saves from the demo and UM2... go into the extras menu (エキストラ), choose the data link option (データ連動) then select the "Save Data" option (セーブデータ). Answer the question with the first choice and it'll unlock a character, repeat this three times.

lmao so the pre-order "exclusives" can be unlocked by old-school-style button codes? What's the point, then?

Very helpful. Nice. I kinda figured that other than Gine/Jaco those other exclusives would be button-press codes and not eShop download codes.

Ahahahaha, what even is this!? And here I was worried about not preordering. :lol:

Good to know I can just pick this game up at my leisure at least.

I was hoping they would be inputs too but sadly you need to buy a $15 book for them. Gine heals I believe and Jaco shoots a laser beam.

Bandai Namco Europe is teasing with Super Butouden 2 intro on their FB page. Hint for Extreme Butouden?

I just got Gine and Jaco, and can confirm they require an actual download, no unlock codes unfortunately.

Kinda funny that they link to a fan-posted version of the video, which contains the original music, which won't be in there if they do indeed release the game(s).
