Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden Release Date US Revealed

A new trailer has been released by Arc System Works for their upcoming fighting game set in the popular Dragon Ball franchise - Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden.

As reported earlier this week, the game is now available to download from Nintendo's eShop store across Japan. As expected, we've seen a stream of gameplay footage and trailers emerge onto YouTube courtesy of various Japanese gaming websites.

The latest trailer reveals that North America can expect a release date for Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden on October 20th for the Wii U console only at this stage. There is no official word yet as to whether or not it will receive an HD re-release for next-generation consoles such as Xbox One and PS4.

The gameplay itself appears similar in style but with some minor tweaks compared to previous titles within the series. As you would expect from a fighting game, players can choose between various characters including many of your favorite Dragon Ball Z heroes like Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo among others along side several bosses who will challenge them throughout each match up.

If this new title does indeed make its way across the Atlantic Ocean later down the line then it'll be interesting to see how well received it is by both old and new fans alike. What do you guys think? Are you looking forward to getting your hands on Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden when (if?) it finally arrives in North America?
