Japanese Dragon Ball Fusions Nintendo 3DS Version Official Super Guidebook

Bandai Namco released the 208-page, A5-sized Dragon Ball Fusions Nintendo 3DS Version Official Super Guidebook (ドラゴンボールフュージョンズ N3DS版 公式超ガイドブック Doragonbōru Fyūjonzu N3DS-ban Kōshiki Chō Gaido Bukku) alongside the game's release in Japan 04 August 2016 for ¥1,200 under the "V-Jump Books" label.[2]

The book comes packaged with a special Nintendo eShop download code providing the player early access to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta within the Dragon Ball Fusions video game itself.

Releases

Domestic Release

Bonus pack-ins with the Japanese release of Dragon Ball Fusions include a "Gohanks: EX" card for the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game (GDPB-68) and a digital download unlock code for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku within Dragon Ball Fusions itself.

Dragon Ball Z: Fusions was released 04 August 2016 in Japan as both a stand-alone copy and as a bundle package with the game itself, a New Nintendo 3DS system with branded faceplates, and a digital download copy of the 1990 Nintendo Famicom game Dragon Ball Z: Kyōshū! Saiya-jin.[3][4]

First-press copies of the game came packaged with additional bonus content, including a "Gohanks: EX" card for the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game (GDPB-68) and Nintendo eShop download code providing the player early access to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku within Dragon Ball Fusions itself.

Hints of a worldwide localization for Dragon Ball Fusions began with a listing for the game on the Brazilian Ministry of Justice’s ratings website in August 2016, the same month as the game's release in Japan.[5] That September, several retailers (including Walmart, GameStop, and Amazon) began listing the game with a December 2016 release date.[6]

On 21 September 2019, Bandai Namco officially announced the game's international release with dates set of 13 December 2016 for North America and February 2017 for Europe.[7] These dates would eventually shift and solidify to 22 November 2016 for North America[8] and 17 February 2017 for Europe[9].

All international editions of the game remove the "QR Code" and "Download" main menu functionality; these options were used for character distribution in Japan, including magazine promotions and official guidebook bonus items. With this functionality's removal, and no other changes made to how certain characters can be unlocked, this renders Gorus, Taks, Gohanks: Future, and Great Satanman inaccessible through normal gameplay means; the characters are, however, fully localized and can be obtained through custom firmware and game save hacking.

All international editions of the game also have certain visual edits, including the swap of all swords for sticks.[10]

Domestic Media Coverage
