"Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butōden" Discussion

Post by The Tori-bot » Sun Nov 21, 2010 12:55 pm

Felt this warranted its own thread, so... have at it!

I don't know why, but I'm pretty excited for this. For a DS game the graphics look great (almost on the level of TAG VS!), and it's a breath of fresh air to have something different from the endless Sparking!-style gameplay we've had in pretty much every DBZ fighting game for around five years.

Same, the only DS DragonBall fighting game I really liked was Super Sonic Warriors 2 and that was 5 years ago when that came out? It's a shame I lost it. I don't feel like playing through it again. This game will hopefully make me like it as much as SSW2.

That is the only Dragon Ball fighting game on the DS until this one comes out...

This looks pretty cool, but I'm more excited for Zenkai Battle Royale. I'll probably have the opportunity to play this way sooner though...

I like the style, it reminds me of those old One Piece games.

I'm looking forward to this game, and I can't wait to see how the game will turn out. Since this is a DS game then the character list should be around 15 or 20 characters in total.

I'm sad that this doesn't look anything like the Super Butoden games.

Also, what the hell is going on with their proportions? It's like they've all been turned into Krillins...

Looking at the character models, this should have been named "Dragonball SD: Ultimate Butõden", lol.

Yeah. Cell looks funny. :lol:
The character models look like they're from Dragon Ball DS (though, I only played that demo for number two).

I like the super deformed style. Pretty original, as far as Z (do I to start calling them Kai now?) games go.

I have to say, I prefer the visual style in this game, compared to that of Tag VS (just from the few screen shots we see here).
By no means can I compare them graphically however, considering the graphical capabilities of the two systems.

This looks pretty neat. Can't wait for some gameplay videos to show up. :)
All in all, I like the style quite a lot. Let's just hope the fighting mechanics are okay as well.

Who's behind this game's development? I'm guessing its some unknown studio working under the Namco/Bandai label, but a man can dream (Dimps), can't he?

Judging by the screenshots we've seen so far it's looking like a dimps game. No matter who develops it, I'm hoping that it wont be another final bout type game.
