Bamco just announced it via Twitter:

Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is coming to the Nintendo 3DS on Oct 20th in the Americas!

https://twitter.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/613255236820414464

Only for the Americas right now, but since we had that "leaked pic" of a poster at a Spanish retailer, European release is pretty much confirmed too. And since it's the same date, well...

The EU confirmation actually came a few minutes earlier than the US one
Oct 16th

Really? How did I miss that one? Guess I was too entranced by the Iris Watson 3DS themes to notice, ha ha.

Thanks, added to the OP.

 

[Speedwagon]

I like how it looks. I wonder how it plays.

 

[Oregano]

No online though?

 

[Tizoc]

Retail or digital only? hYPEd for it either way =3
Def. getting this X3

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I'll definitely be picking this up. I'm always down for more DBZ games.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Hell yeah..!

 

[Pappasman]

Awesome! Hopefully with DBS we can get a new wave of good DB games.

 

[ArtHands]

yes yes yes!! DB Super is full steam when it is released, so it'll be great

also the debut appearance of Gine

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Will go great with my DS copy of Supersonic Warriors 2. Maybe I should get the first as well.

Sad we never got Ultimate Butoden for DS. Didn't that have over 50 characters and multiple costumes because it was 3D?

 

[Cell_Biology]

Awesome! Was looking forward to this one.

 

[Lagamorph]

So what kind of game is this? Just a 2D side-on fighter? Or something more significant? I can't go back to clunky Street Fighter style side on fighters after Xenoverse.

 

[Seven Force]

Yesssssss

First time I think they've used the Butoden subtitle in the US (I believe the SNES trilogy got released in France), and the third overall Butoden game to come stateside (after Final Bout and Ultimate 22)

 

[Tenki]

So how is the game? The graphics are amazing and I want it.

 

[Zalman]

It looks really good. I hope it's good.

 

[Vaughngief]

Nice. Day 1 for me.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Awesome - might be my first DBZ game in years. Also reconfirm that e3 isn't as important for handhelds nowadays.. Otherwise they would just announced the western release a couple of days ago.

 

[Aostia]

yay at the EU release!

 

[Man God]

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

This, Tales of Zestiria and DQ Heroes on the same day. Christ. What do?

 

[Vaughngief]

Awesome - might be my first DBZ game in years. Also reconfirm that e3 isn't as important for handhelds nowadays.. Otherwise they would just announced the western release a couple of days ago.

I really, really hope that's true. That means Great Ace Attorney, Dragon Quest 7, and 8 could still come state side.

 

[Tizoc]

This, Tales of Zestiria and DQ Heroes on the same day. Christ. What do?

Don't eat food.
Save up money for games.
Or pre-order so you'll still have money for food the next month :V

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Will support for the sprites. Just gonna main Beerus even if he might be the cheapest in the game IDGAF.

 

[Tizoc]

I really, really hope that true. That means Great Ace Attorney, Dragon Quest 7, and 8 could still come state side.

And to EU too!

 

[Man God]

This, Tales of Zestiria and DQ Heroes on the same day. Christ. What do?

Skip Tales.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Don't eat food.
Save up money for games.
Or pre-order so you'll still have money for food the next month :V

Option 1 seems legit. Hype will sustain me.

Skip Tales.

Aw shit. I've heard some really mixed things about it D:

 

[Dunkley]

This, Tales of Zestiria and DQ Heroes on the same day. Christ. What do?

I would skip Tales.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Skip Tales then wait for it to go on sale on Steam.

Spoiler

I can't skip Tales myself.

Added PR, but nothing's really new in there.

Dunno about the US, but Europe's getting a retail release (as always~), Bamco's got placeholder box art up on their site already.

[Man God]

Tales of games always go on sale pretty quickly. Tales of Salad Dressing/90 Deodorant Soap should be no exception.

 

[Teknoman]

Online?

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Yesssssss!
No need to import it then! \o/

Based EU retail, one of the few things I can count on ;3

 

[donkey show]

Some sick combo vids from the JP version:

Raditz, Nappa, Krillin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtVLP-H-kok

SSGSS Goku with SSGSS Vegeta and Golden Freeza assists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Cyvw_g-9E

Really enjoyed the demo so I'm looking forward to the localized version. Although I could just not wait and grab it now on my JP 3DS haha.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Online?

I think local MP only.

 

[@MUWANdo]

That PR sure is something, huh.

 

[HyperHip]

Online?

Nope local only

Game is still pretty good, and i might grab it again so I can play with friends.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Ah shit. This Holiday is going to be the most expensive Holiday ever for me.

 

[iBlue]

This looks great, does it have online? Also I hope is digital only, no clutter please.

 

[Tizoc]

Can I just call SSGSS Goku as SSG2 Goku?

 

[Busaiku]

Can I just call SSGSS Goku as SSG2 Goku?

No, cause that could be an actual form later.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Glad I held out. AUS rating board seems legit. Wonder why this and Zombi skipped E3?

Most likely it wasn't deemed important enough for E3. Would've gone unnoticed amidst the PR chaos.

 

[Memory]

Gonna pick this up, disliked xenoverse so hoping this can provide my DBZ fix.

 

[Forkball]

Year of Dragon Ball continues.
