And it looks as though developers have designed Shin Budokai to mirror its console brethren in terms of style and mechanics.

Of course, a show like Dragon Ball Z calls for only one genre, and that's the fighting genre.īut the experience has never really been portable - at least not in the way fans of the DBZ games on PS2 would want. It's a legitimate phenomenon, thanks to a number of long-running anime shows, feature-length movies and tons of lunchbox-style merchandise. The Dragon Ball franchise has popped up on consoles since the late 80s, first in Japan and then in the US.
