Known simply in Spain as Dragon Ball Z it was, for a long time, the best-selling game in the franchise with close to one and a half million copies. While it is true that phenomena such as budokai, Budokai Tenkaichi or Dragon Ball FighterZ would end up surpassing him.
Super Butōden’s good form lay in its 8 playable characters and another 5 that could be unlocked by completing its story mode, which spanned from the Piccolo Jr. arc to the end of the Cell saga.
Birthday of a reference in the history of Dragon Ball
The particularity of this installment resided in its innovative combat, which took place on huge stages. The fight could take place on the ground or in the air and when the players separated the screen was divided to mark the distance.
That separation was marked with square icons that marked where each player was. Of course, in terms of blows, there were unique special moves and super moves, but also very varied evasive actions for the time that Dragon Ball lived.
Considered the first great fighting game in the Dragon Ball saga.Dragon Ball Z Super Butouden is extremely important to understand the history of this phenomenon that has continued unstoppably over the years.
Thirty years old doesn’t happen every day, so now you know, this SNES classic deserves a big slap on the wrist. Now we just have to wait for more details to be announced about Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 4. What do you expect from this next installment that we have been waiting for so long?
