I'm a bit worried that this is a bit too focused on using support characters. It looks like it can get very chaotic and I don't think you can attack the support chars either.

Was really looking forward to this.

Damn the 3DS region lock. I hate waiting for localization announcements like this tho.

Namco is going really great nowadays. Digimon Cyber Sleuth and God Eater 2 Rage Burst remain. Come on Namco, you can do it!

I hoped for a "Supersonic Warriors 3" renaming but orginal name is fine too.

This game's sprite work is gorgeous, Arc System Works are the masters.

Also this is a pretty great year for DragonBall. Xenoverse, DragonBall Super, and now this.

Been playing the demo a bunch the past few days and really dig it. It could just be the post-orgasmic effect of having seen the new movie though.

Has there been any word on if the NA release will have the English VAs for the character voices?

I thought the sprites were nice in the demo, but it feels more like a street fighter than a dragon ball game. Not my cup of tea.

The demo gave me good impressions about it. The lack of online will affect sales that's for sure, can't believe they are real easing it without online features.

Not really a Dragon Ball Z fan but decided to try out the demo anyway because the pickings are slim when it comes to fighting games on the 3DS. After learning the mechanics, I started enjoying it. Then I found out there wasn't going to be online play when I was searching for the release date. Any desire I had to buy the game died almost immediately.

That's kind of a bummer. Part of what I loved about the SNES games was being able to fly into the air at my own free will. Still on the fence about it.

Really fun demo! Think I'll pick it up at BB because Super Butoden 2 looks like it doesn't age well at all.

Did anybody who pre-ordered this from Amazon get their code for Super Butoden 2 yet? The game is already delivered but I haven't gotten the code.

Wasn't the pre-order code Amazon exclusive? I was under the impression it was. Or was that just the assist characters? I also didn't get my code e-mailed as of yet. How did you go about e-mailing Bandai, Zero?

Best Buy got the six assist characters. It shows up in your order history as an additional item.

I bought from a local retailer who were suppose to get codes and then didn't and there was some weirdness. So I just aside on BN's Facebook page, they gave me their email and then got the retailer to send me a code. I think they just screwed up supplying codes.

Was both assists and the SNES game.

Ah I see. Hopefully, Amazon comes through soon. Does anyone happen to know if there's ways besides codes to unlock more assist characters? I looked it up to see, but all I'm seeing is cheat codes.

I've played the demo and I could liked it if... the supers didn't take TOO MUCH TIME. C'mon, we are talking about 10 seconds waiting.

So Amazon UK DO NOT offer Super Butoden 2 if you pre-order :/

I didn't get the Botuden 2 code either when i pre-ordered and bought it at Gamestop. Had to go through extra hoops, because Nintendo or BN actually forgot to supply them with codes. So try to contact amazon or BN.

Also according to the EU twitter it should come with all pre-orders it seems.

Fun fact: The Dragon Ball Z Super Botuden 2 that comes with the pre-order actually got a completely new set of soundtrack.

For comparisons sake here is a link to the original SNES soundtrack for comparison sake.

The game's already out in EU regions isn't it? At the very least they could e-mail the codes to anyone who can provide a proof of purchase.

Yep, because Kenji Yamamoto (DB music veteran) was let go in 2010 following plagiarism accusations... which loads of videos show to be pretty obvious.

I heard it uses Hyper Dimension's OST? Likely BS but I heard that wasn't by Yamamoto so it's likely.

Also, despite the plagiarism, Yamamoto was GOAT, seriously, his Budokai work is some of the best ever. :(

I had to go through Gamestop to get my code. I also wrote to BN and they told me to go through my merchant, in this case Gamestop. Glad it went well for me. Pitty for those who actually pre-ordered and didn't get theirs. From what I know I was the only one who went after the code XD.

Don't really care about his plagiarism. But I really liked the iconic OG DBZ soundtrack. Still miss it.
The new renditions of Cha-la head cha-la lack the bite of the original one. :(
