Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection

Namco Bandai Announces Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection, Dragon Ball Z Kinect Release Date

Here’s a couple of Dragon Ball Z newsy bits for you.

First up, Namco Bandai has announced that an anthology of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 will be released as part of a Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection this Winter.

Both of the PlayStation 2 and GameCube fighting titles will come with enhanced and re-mastered HD visuals. Strangely, no mention of Budokai 2 was made in the announcement.

Meanwhile, Dragon Ball Z for Kinect now has an official release date. It will hit Europe on 5th October and will feature Bardock Super Saiyan as a playable character for the first time in a game, as well as the "Episode of Bardock" episode of the Dragon Ball Z anime. It has never before been available in Europe.

Check out the announcement trailer for Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection below.

I'm actually a little disappointed that Budokai 2 isn't included, preferred that over the first game. But still, I'm so glad that Budokai 3 is getting a re-release. Lost my PS2 copy ages ago so this'll be the perfect replacement!

In my opinion, the collective "finished" versions of DBZ Fighters would have done better.

Budokai 3, and Tenkaichi 3.

The Budokai's are already similar enough. I think that including 2 would have illustrated that more. That, and the stupid board game mode... thing.

Yesss, Budokai 3 is the best beat em up ever! Had so much fun on the PS2 with my mate. The only issue is, is the speed you will be twiddling the analogue sticks. I dont think the 360 controllers could take it and well, they're not exactly cheap.....

I hope they release Budokai 2 as DLC because i will be gutted if it is left out completely. I don't know why some people are saying Budokai 2 and 3 were so similar , Budoakai 2's story mode was totally different.

I mentioned this yesterday on the Naruto trailer news post. The trailer says that Budokai 1 & 3 are included. That doesn't limit it to just those two games. For all we know, 2 could still be included.

@13 You're right about the story mode. Also the combat in 2 was not as kind as in 3 (4 words: Majin Vegeta's Final Explosion. I remember in B2, that was near impossible to pull off and win for me).

I loved these games I still own 1 and 3. I didn't like the board game style story mode that 2 had, but it's a shame it's not included. I pray this has online play! Will have a Kamehameha blast of fun with friends.

Getting sick of developers missing out games in collections. Best have budokai 2 in there.

Company's keep doing the same thing like they did with mgs hd collection.

@14 There's a good chance this still won't include 2 due to Bandai's strange views on telling story. When it comes to anime based games they tend to like games that only jump from battle to battle and not tell you much of what happened in between.
What happens is they make a first game that does this, then a second game that actually tells you the story, or at least is more detailed about events, then for a third game its back to just battle after battle with a little dialogue or narration thrown in between.
Of course I didn't play Budokai 3, so I could be wrong about how they told the story, but from the sound of it it wasn't as complete as 2.

@28. I can see where you're coming from but Budakai 3 wasn't battle after battle, the DBZ series tried something new. It allowed you to free roam. Looking for items, visiting shops. You got to fly around, looking for Dragonballs and upgrades. It is by far, the best DBZ ever. Cannot wait.

@23 i got that episode on dvd. the casins is lovely, the episode was great but the subtitles were near damn awful.

This wioll be the best DBZ game on the current gen consoles. Im kinda hoping they include super dragonball z on there that was fun but i guess thats wishful thinking.

I wouldnt mind a bleach game tho like the one i got on ps3.

I would definitely buy this game if it had Budakai 2 in it, I loved that game so much when I was young. I remember liking the first one as well and hating the 3rd one for reasons I can't remember. I'm unsure if I'll buy this.
