Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (ドラゴンボールZ Sparking! METEOR, Doragon Bōru Zetto Supākingu! Meteo) is a fighting game set to be released on the PlayStation 2 and Wii.[4] It is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2.

Gameplay

Atari, the game's third-party publisher outside of Japan, says that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 will feature more than 150 characters and over 30 unigue stages to fight in.[5] This game will feature the largest character roster in the history of gaming.

Atari has announced that the Wii version of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 will feature online multiplayer capability. Due to the PS2 not having the same feature as the Wii version, Spike has added a new "Disk Fusion System." Inserting a Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi or Budokai Tenkaichi 2 disk during play unlocks the Ultimate Battle and Ultimate Battle Z modes from the respective games.[2] It is still unknown if the game will include the Tag Team and Free Battle features like the previous installment.

New gameplay elements

Several new features absent from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 have been added to Budokai Tenkaichi 3. These include:

  • Blast Combo - Players can now kick their opponent into the air and attack them again by quickly teleporting behind them. For example, if the player selects Goku, they can kick their opponent into the air, use Instant Transmission to quickly warp behind them while still being sent upwards, and use his Kamehameha to deal more damage to the opponent.
  • Sonic Sway - This technique simply allows the player to evade the opponents attacks. Since it takes longer for the attacker to get back into their fighting stance than it does the player dodging the attacks, the attacker is left with an open defense. The one evading can then quickly counter-attack their opponent. However, this feature only applies to physical attacks aimed for the upper part of the body; if the opponent aims for the player's legs, for example, they cannot evade the attacks.
  • Z-Counter - The ability to counter attacks by teleporting behind the enemy. This is a technique seen in the series many times.
  • Z-Burst Dash - An enhanced version of the dash attack from the previous game, this time the player can zig-zag to dodge attacks or surprise the enemy.
  • The addition of a new day and night system creates a better connection to the original manga by allowing certain transformations to occur under specific conditions. At night, players can harness the power of the moon to transform into certain characters, such as turning a Saiyan into a Great Ape.
  • By adding a new Battle Replay mode, players can now capture all of their favourite fights and watch them again later on. There are also several camera angles you can use to swap views of the battle.
  • The Wii version no longer uses the sensor bar. The game instead will use gestures and will provide a little animation at the bottom left corner of the screen to demonstrate how to perform techniques.[6]

Playable characters

According to the scans and videos released, the roster of playable characters will include returning characters such as Goku and Vegeta and will introduce new characters such as King Vegeta. Atari has also announced the appearance of 20 new playable characters never before seen in a Dragon Ball Z game.[7] Returning characters that only appeared in the japanese version of Tenkaichi 2 with an asterisk mean they are new to the US version of Tenkaichi 3.
