Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden ("Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Martial Arts Legend") is a fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by Bandai Namco for the Nintendo 3DS, originally released 11 June 2015 in Japan.

Extreme Butōden is currently the latest entry in the Butōden series of Dragon Ball fighting games, with Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butōden released four years prior on the Nintendo DS. The Butōden series is generally referred to by name in its untranslated form, up through and including Extreme Butoden named as-is for its international release.

Gameplay

Similar to Arc System Works' previous Dragon Ball title (Dragon Ball Z: Bukū Ressen), Extreme Butōden is a tag-team fighting game, allowing players to choose up to three characters that can be swapped out during battle. Along with playable characters, players can also choose "Z-Assist" characters that can be activated during battle; these "Z-Assist" characters can unleash special attacks or provide special status buffs and other effects for the player.
