Bandai Namco Highlights Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden’s Team-Building System

With a release on the Nintendo 3DS rapidly approaching, the folks over at Bandai Namco games are starting to show off more and more of Dragonball Z: Extreme Butoden. Their latest piece of gameplay footage focuses on the title’s team-building aspects, which will allow players to craft squads of their favorite characters depending on how they fit into a limited grid.

Arc System Works has developed an interesting system that both limits a team by the size of a cast member’s portrait and Dragon Level. The portraits of main playable characters Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Majin Buu are much larger than those of, say, assists like Hercule and Recoome. Groups will also need to stay below the 35 Dragon Level limit, though none of the arrangements in the demonstration get even close to that figure.

Give the video below some of your time and check out what these developers have in store.

Dragonball Z: Extreme Butoden is schedule to launch in Japan on June 11.

Alpharad Fights for His Friends in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Alpharad is back with another episode of his Super Smash Bros. for Wii U How to Play series, this time turning the spotlight on Ike.

To officially kick things off, Alpharad, as usual, styles on a Little Mac player, but this time it’s a bit different. Usually, the to-be-featured Mac at least poses enough of a threat to warrant throwing up a shield as he’s barreling across the stage. Not this time. No, Alpharad just stands perfectly still and let’s the pink hoodie-wearing boxer do himself in with a complete whiff that sends him sailing over the side of the stage to a first stock loss in under ten seconds.

Then the actual Ike play gets going, and there’s lots to see. With the massive hitboxes on some of his animations, the ability to hold his neutral B for as long as he can, and the fact that he has a counter make for some great plays that live up to the How to Play name. And, as usual, you can expect plenty of Alpharad’s text-based humor to pop up as well.
