Yeah we got a Goku costume for Naruto. Not too excited for it but Goku might look pretty cool in Naruto's gear so meh. I like that there's extra content but it hasn't been confirmed to come out over here yet so I guess we'll have to see. I wanna see the Yardrat outfit haha. I always thought a recolor of the Yardrat costume's pants would be cool.

Nice, I was starting to think this game would have no alt costumes. Plus some Naruto stuff is always a bonus to me.

Goku's getting one of Naruto's recent outfits as an alternate costume in Battle of Z, available to people in Japan who buy the game during its first run. No word on if the bonus will be available in the West yet, but didn't we get the similar Goku outfit for Naruto in Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 earlier this year?
This is awesome!

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Why are people so un-happy about it? He looks pretty badass. It's better than getting the costume with another symbol on it as an alt.

It is based on this drawing of Toriyama BTW:

(Toriyama drew Goku, Kishimoto drew Naruto)

However it's not better than getting the yadrat costume or the EoZ one, It's reverse-fanservice. Heck If they wanted something new they could have given the outfit during before the cell games, or the second outfit he has in Ultimate Butouden.

I'd rather his GT outfit since GT Goku isn't going to show up. I'd like the outfit Goku wears during the 10 days before the Cell games.

Despite the fact that I have no intention to buy this game early on (assuming we'd even get this costume in the US), I do like when developers do this sort of thing. Sure it may not be one of the costumes from the series, but it's still something unique from Toriyama's art outside the series itself that we haven't gotten before.

Also, new opening animation. Woot!

Eh, looks kinda cool but I'd prefer if they allowed to fully customise the characters in every aspect than limiting them to this and that, I noticed they have like different coloured costumes nothing special really.

I would have preferred Seiya's costume instead but hey at least it's something different than the same costume in every single other game.
