Test Chamber – Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden
A new Dragon Ball Z game released this week for 3DS, so Game Informer's biggest Dragon Ball fans decided to take it for a spin.
Join myself and Ben Hanson as we try out the game's alternate story mode, play as a wide variety of characters, and bring non-fighters like Chi Chi and Oolong into the fray. We won't be doing a full formal review of the game, but we wanted to at least take a look and see how the game plays.
Extreme Butoden is developed by Arc System Works, best know for fighting games like Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. It's not the studio's first Dragon Ball video game, but it is the first one the studio has worked on since the release of Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 on the original DS in 2005.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
