Despite what the image says, I'm pretty sure this isn't a Virtual Console release.
Just a reminder that SB2 on 3DS won't be in English and has a different soundtrack from its SNES release.

Don't take this as a sign of anything like that. Bandai Namco released a collection of NES/SNES ports on 3DS in Japan in 2013. Super Butoden 2 was one of the games included.

Nice. Guess I'll be preordering from Amazon, then.
Still kind of blows my mind that they're actually offering this outside of Japan.
They aren't. Bamco has their own SNES emulator that they used for a 3DS Jump legacy compilation in Japan that also had Butouden 2. That's what they're using here.

It has no online multiplayer, which is mindblowing for 2015.

And with that, my hype is gone.

Can I preorder a digital copy through Amazon?

Geez, reading that was like hitting a brick wall for my hype over this game. Probably not going to pick it up now.

So Z-Assists I can unlock and a game that was part of a previous collection now featuring butchered music?
Yes, I want more of this.
Yes, I want more of this.
Any idea how much content is in the game though?
Been riding a Dragon Ball high since finally watching Battle of the Gods and the first episode of Dragon Ball Super. I'm willing to overlook the online if the other content is decent.
The European promo indicated "early access", aka you get those from the get go instead of having to unlock them in Adventure mode.

I wonder if SSGSS Goku will be made available the same way. (Bonus unlock for having save data from the demo)

Hyper Dimension or riot!
(hopefully with a better framerate
I love the art style of that game way more than the Butodens
Yep, and the fighting mechanics were much better too. I mean.. it actually had combos and juggles
Sweet deal for sure... but are we also getting an option for just buying the game and getting the SNES DL free anywhere?
The game doesn't even have a training mode.
Been reading that the single player stuff is pretty boring. Not sure how ArcSys managed to screw up a fighting game (I enjoyed some of their previous DBZ titles, too), but I played the demo on my Japanese 3DS and it got old fast. The game is too simplistic, lacks content, and no online play sealed the deal to make this a pass.

In Japan, the preorder bonus characters are actually all unlockable via cheat codes lol. The only characters that aren't available in the game through that are SSGSS Goku (unlocked via save data from demo), Gine and Jaco (actual DLC needing a voucher from some book).
This and the exclusion of online are making me hesitant to purchase this.
Didn't the Butouden 2 version in Jump collection 3DS had the music intact?
How does the new music compare to the Yamamoto soundtrack (which was godlike)?
So many questions...

This kind of pre-order incentive was what was supposed to be from the invention of the virtual console. Sad it took so long.
I can remember getting a GB Kid Icarus game download with my pre-order of KI Uprising as well, but yeah... it's definitely the sort of incentive I'd have liked to see more of

I bought the game and I had a lot of fun with it even after getting my fix of the demo.
It does suck that there's no training mode but playing the game and just experimenting substitutes for that type of lab time just fine.
Mysterious Adventure is cool single player content. If you're trying to unlock all the Z-Assists then you'll be spending time S-Ranking all the missions and the story is pure DBZ fanservice.
The game's far from simplistic. The game shines best when you put the pieces together. All the combo possibilities and Z-Assists really afford those who want a canvas to make some violent art to do just that. I had so much fun in the lab figuring out what does what and how it all works together.
I know how folks feel on the no online thing and it does mean without it there's less chance for the metagame to really get a chance to build around combinations of characters & Z-Assists which is where the fun is. Game still has local play so if you can convince a buddy or 2 to get it then you can get some comp.
The only fault I can actually levy against it is the roster isn't as diverse as a game like this could be and here's hoping a sequel sees to that.
As far as I'm concerned this is the best Butoden game that isn't Hyper Dimension or Ultimate.

Wow, this game is really coming to the US! I would love to play it with my faraway frien-
...Oh. Well, nevermind. That's majorly disappointing.
But it does have local multiplayer right? RIGHT?

Wait, they're not even bothering to use the translation in countries where it was localized?

hit up the homie smea
Butoden 2 was likely plucked from J Legend Retsuden
There are videos of the 3DS version of Butouden 2 on Youtube. I just watched this one, the new soundtrack is terrible!
