Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection

Tags: Dragon Ball, Information, Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection

Rumors have been swirling around the Internet for the past few months about a potential Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection. Retailers such as Wal-Mart and CDUniverse have created listings for them, but we at Saiyan Island just couldn’t believe such a thing could be in works. Especially because Namco Bandai and Spike have Dragon Ball Z Kinect coming out for Xbox 360. Of course fans, including us, would love a Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection, but could it really happen?

Well, if the picture from the 2012 Japan Expo show floor is any indication, it looks like it just may! In addition to the Dragon Ball Z for Kinect logo is a Dragon Ball Z Budokai logo. And in the red, just below that, there looks like enough room for for words “HD Collection.” Of course we don’t know for sure, so we have to give you words of caution to take the release of Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection with a grain of salt.

We do expect more news on this sometime this later week. As mentioned, the image is from Japan Expo 2012. The event officially begins Thursday, July 5th and lasts until Sunday, July 8th in Paris, France so stay tuned!

Oh, I so hope so. DBZ games have sucked lately. The old Budokai’s were the best DBZ games ever! I just wish I didn’t get the Tenkaichi’s on Wii, bad choice -_-.

if its a hd collection coming out the blue then that mean that there is a ps3 dbz budokai or burst limit 2 in production

Budokai?, this is a crap..! I thought it was gonna be tenkaichi HD collection, not that slow and stupid game..!! UNFORGETTABLE

I can’t believe this. Well, Tenkaichi 3, having been the best DBZ game ever, will be dead forever.
nicholas palmer

dam right

we like games in hd,3d,while watching mtv seeing a chick with double d’s lol idk wtf i was trying to explain
http://twitter.com/UchihaGon GoncaloCardoso

i hope its budokai tenkaichi 3 HD with online ! that would be awesome !
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KMVC2AHUM6A6GYY2VMIFBFBGIU SuperdeadlyKing

must happen and also hopefully we will get a BT1,2,3 collection also but i’m glad atleast the original budokai may be made in HD if its true it better have online =)
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001285930400 Nigel Davis

Tenkaichi is a Budokai game. Where it maybe a “Collection” it could be Budokai 3 AND Tenkaichi 3 in HD.
http://twitter.com/Angel_Agony200 Adison Peña

I dunno if you’ve seen the artwork in the pic, but if you give a look to the slogan in the right you may see that is written Budokai..!, not budokai tenkaichi 3

I already know that tenkaichi belongs to budokai series, so stop trying to be smart cuz it is just impossible for a fan not know simple stuff like this.
Scott Baker

no infinte world was best. you actualy story mode things gravity training, King kais world snake way
Scott Baker

Yes it says Budokai well done? you also know they have a DMC HD collection coming out of 123,

i Belive this will be collection of all the ps2 games titled with Budokai in it
Chris Blankman

That looks like Tenkaichi artwork, but I hope it’s Budokai 3 or something.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_J5LNCEALWX6J7TNXSJYCBKSMSU Chris

i zoomed in and it says hd and then collection in very tiny writing
narutobleachop

yes, yes, yes!!! MY DREAM IS COMING TRUE!!! I hope all the Budokai games are in there.. Budokai 1,2,3 AND Budokai Tenkaichi 1,2,3. and BT3 should have a working online!!!! YES that would be HOT!!!!
http://bustercannon.zymichost.com/ AquaTeamV3

Tenkaichi and Budokai are 2 different series’. The English naming convention is just confusing like that. The Japanese naming convention (DBZ Sparking as opposed to DBZ) makes it easier to see that the games aren’t related.

The Dmc Collection Is Already Out
*Super~Sayian*

omg, first dmc, then jak and daxter, now dbz budokai! HD orgasm!
*Super~Sayian*

it says budokai, its unclear which one, and from the art work of SS2 goku it looks like tenkaichi, regardless if its regular budokai or tenkaichi it’ll be million times better than the kinect and ultimate dbz games.
EA575

Wishing for at least Budokai 1-3, but if Tenkaichi is included, then that’s just awesome.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_J5LNCEALWX6J7TNXSJYCBKSMSU Chris

oh you again? no…
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

Screw Tenkaichi. xDDD
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

OH MY FREAKING GOSH, I’M SO GITTY RIGHT NOW. PLEASE, PLEASE BE TRUE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! AND INCLUDE ONLINE CAPABILITIES FOR B3 AND I’D PAY A FREAKING FORTUNE THIS COLLECTION!! I’VE WANTED TO PLAY IT COMPETITIVELY FOR SO LONG!! PLEASE IF ITS TRUE INCLUDE ONLINE!!

SRY, I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE ONLINE!!!

I can do w/o tenkaichi, but if it’s only tenkaichi w/online, I’d probably still pick it up.
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

@anyoneI’m just curious, I don’t believe HD collections usually add online capabilities. But since it’s a fighting game (online was made for them and shooters) what are the chances they’ll include online?
mayuran10

looool u guys are slow man. It was announced long time ago and the games will just be from tenkaichi 1 to 3
mayuran10

dude its just budokai tenkaichi 1-3
Zexion842

its not tenkaichi, its budokia -.-
Zexion842

therefore YOUR slow, not us

Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection Totally Epic,budokai tenkaichi 3 the best game ever for me great memories ^^
mayuran10

Its Budokai Tenkaichi 1-3 like i said yes. There won’t be dragonball Budokai..
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

And you know this how? My eyes must deceive me, cause I’m pretty sure I see only Budokai there.
mayuran10

I have read an official announce so theres unfortunately only budokai tenkaichi from 1-3. I have posted a link here to the site, but u have to wait till its accepted by a moderator. Its found at videogamesblogger
Sharnerius1

Lol yeah,I really hope it’s tenkaichi and not regular budokai.Since it’s Japan I thought they’d make it clear because the tenkaichi series went by Sparking and the budokai series were just called regular Dragon ball z 1,2, and 3.I like budokai but I miss tenkaichi more.
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

The logo just says Budokai. I’ve seen other sources, your “supposed” source seems to be the only 1 that believes it’s tenkaichi.

Not that interested in that rush spam, terrible camera angle average anime game. I’m willing to bet half of you who want Tenkaichi want it simply because of the roster, when Budokai 3 has been the most balanced and fun DBZ game to date.
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

Tenkaichi was a broken piece of manure. Horrible camera angles where you can’t see what you’re doing, sluggish controls, over-complicated, and all you had to do was spam the rush specials and say gg.
mayuran10

Yes but the funny thing is that the guys who figured this one out are the same guys who got Devil May Cry HD collection on track. Im pretty sure these guys got it right. No idea where my comments just went but ye. But if i could choose between budokai and tenkaichi i would go for budokai for sure. It was so much better in any way possible, especially the l videos before and after the fight sequences and the classic fighting style.. Tenkaichi wasn’t bad though.. I would get them both if that was possible but it seems their just making budokai tenkaichi for now…..
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

The rumor was Tenkaichi, but according to photo evidence right above you it seems like it will be the original budokai games, or maybe it’ll be B3 and BT3, since i don’t see much point in re-releasing older games in a fighting series with less mechanics and characters.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_J5LNCEALWX6J7TNXSJYCBKSMSU Chris

no. budokai was shit. dbz should always be in a 3d environment not 2d. 2nd, all budokai 3 had was specials thats it. the annoying qtes and rush attacks were stupid. and who cares if theres spams? it wasnt meant for online anyways. and theres nothing wrong with the controls. -.-
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

Online anyone? Do HD collections of fighting games usually include online capabilities?
mayuran10

I still do believe that it just will be the Budokai Tenkaichi series… but who knows. I choose to believe in the guys who leaked information about Devil May cry months ago before the official announce. Dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi HD Collection would sound stupid and too long right, so i think they just call it Dragon ball z Budokai HD with the 3 tenkaichi series.. There would be no point in having both tenkaichi and budokai in 1 collection. Even if the most of us(if not all) would want it that way..

I call crap when you can’t see yourself half the fight because the camera is stupid. I call crap a game that lets you spam one thing and win every time. I call crap a game that can’t be competitive online because that extends the life of the game by even 100′s of hours. I call crap a game that is more interested in being flashy then actually being a fighting game. I call a crap game a crap game. The only redeemable one was Tenkaichi 3, but even that got old fast.

I’m not interested in doing what I’ve already achieved. Eww, updated graphics, how spend worthy. No, I want to play other fans of the game I love and prove my skills. There was nothing wrong with Budokai 3 (save for a few OP characters). You say it’s annoying? How about giving me a concrete reason why tenkaichi is better on a technical stand point, cause to my knowledge it was broken as shit. “Annoying” is a piss poor argument.
mayuran10

Wait and see cap boy!
mayuran10

u get easily fooled m8. Just because they call it “Budokai” it doesn’t mean it’s not tenkaichi because tenkaichi is ALSO in the BUDOKAI series..
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_J5LNCEALWX6J7TNXSJYCBKSMSU Chris

i neve runderstood why ppl like u and others praise that crappy budokai game in the first place. i dont want a mortal kombat game with dbz moves. i want a REAL dbz game with 3d fightning, more combos, and supers easy and fun to pull off. i odnt want a stupid side to side street fightning game with dbz plastered to it. all i say is u and others have bad taste if u think b3 is better than bt3.
mayuran10

Alex Marrero.

Do you think the only spammable DBZ game is Tenkaichi? Any damn fighting game can and will be spammed by players, even the normal budokai if it gets online mode.
http://www.facebook.com/jj.cheatom Jj Cheatom

tenkaichi is still a budokai because its dragonballz budokai tenkaichi 3 and budokai is in tenkaichi lol you get what im saying?
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

Certain sites leak info very well, but if they’re unfamiliar with the franchise of the game they have leaked they do make mistakes. Both are Budokai games, they could have had little knowledge of this.

I’m saying, based on the evidence presented here, it is highly more likely it’s either the original 3 Budokai games, or just Budokai 3 and Tenkaichi 3. Again, i don’t see a point in re-releasing far inferior games when the latest 1 has everything prior and then some. It’s not like DMC, where the stories and mechanics are different yet connected making all 3 relevant enough for a re-release.
mayuran10

It will be Budokai Tenkaichi 1-3, not budokai as Alex thinks. Just because the title says Budokai he suddenly think it can’t be Budokai Tenkaichi. But im thanks to the guys who leaked DMC information months before release, 100% sure it will be budokai tenkaichi series in this collection.

@yahoo-J5LNCEALWX6J7TNXSJYCBKSMSU:disqus

Why is it poor taste? All of your arguments include invalidated opinion, not fact. I have stated facts about why Tenkaichi is inferior to Budokai, cold hard facts. Mechanics issues, spamability (Mayuran, wth can you spam in Budokai? melee? You’ll never have time to charge ki trust me, I’ve played good players locally. It takes a lot more skill and management then Tenkaichi ever did), and even you agree it’s more of a DBZ game then a fighting game. I want a simple, yet balanced fighting game that captures a small amount of the spirit of the anime I used to love. What you like better vs myself is pure, irrelevant opinion. But there is no doubt that the original Budokai series was better built and balanced then Tenkaichi was.
EA575

That’s what I saw, too. It looks more like Budokai than Budokai Tenkaichi.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS! God does hear my prayers T_T

i’m so ansious to see this.. i really hope it have tenkaichi 3 with online mode !

budokai 3 + tenkaichi 3 HD , dream T___T
Haoshoku_Haki

I would only buy if this is the original budokai games and only for Budokai 3 online and replayability, Tenkaichi online would be horrible
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8wQURL-xG4&feature=related Kira

Yeah true I like budokai too But i like more tenkaichi.Well let’s wait for new news
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

TY, I’d like this comment 1,000 times if I could.
Sharnerius1

yeah XD
Sharnerius1

Alex what’s your problem?You just reply to everyones posts and argue with them.Your opinion on the tenkaichi series is not fact.You saying why you think tenkaichi is inferior is all opinionated.Everything you mentioned that you think is better in budokai,that’s opinionated as well,not a scientific fact.All the things you mentioned that you thought was wrong with tenkaichi may be good to someone else,all the stuff you mentioned that was right about the budokai series may be wrong to someone else.If eveything you said was absolute fact then everyone would agree,but thats not the case.No need to keep bashing tenkaichi just because you don’t like it,there are many many people that prefer tenkaichi over budokai,and they like it for their own reasons,just like you and budokai.And what do you mean all my arguments o_O.All I said was that I liked tenkaichi better.Nothing you say can change my opinion.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Mark Rose

You morons trulely believe that there should be an online in B3? People would spam the fucking dragon rush modes and shit.
roockie85

I hope is not a hd collection and rather than another game anf if it is just the tenkaichi series and not budokai
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

@Sharnerius1:disqus

What? How is what i said not fact? Should I link you to videos of horrible camera angles? Will that be enough? How about videos with glitches? That good?

FACT bro, it’s fact that the tenkaichi games are flawed in the mechanics department. Videos, stories, you name it you can look it up. This really isn’t ideal for online play when a single glitch in the system or camera can cost you a game. Might they fix it? Perhaps, but I doubt it.

The only opinion here is which is more fun/enjoyable. I think it’s Budokai 3, you think it’s Tenkaichi 3, fine I’m not going to argue about that. But the mechanics in Tenkaichi are much more broken then Budokai by normal fighting game standards, that can’t be refuted.
Haoshoku_Haki

hahaha cheers man
Haoshoku_Haki

umm, its not that hard to avoid that stuff dumbass
Mark Rose

It’s not about avoiding it, it’s about having to go through that damn “freezing” period every time someone triggers hyper mode, that’s fucking annoying you idiot.
Haoshoku_Haki

hmm I don’t see the issue you are seeing. that little pause type thing isn’t annoying, its helpful for countering
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

This is the ideal scenario, only B3 and BT3 both with online capabilities.
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

It will be an HD collection, it’s just about confirmed.

where is SSJ3Bardock LOL

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD MY GOD, THE PRESSURE OF EXCITEMENT I CAN’T XD
ssjbardock13

Wait, I thought you said Budokai Tenkaichi HD Collection was fake.
ssjbardock13

Nope, its Budokai art cause they used that boxart for Shin Budokai for U.S region.
ssjbardock13

I am with you bro XD
ssjbardock13

Same here XD
ssjbardock13

Sorry, but its Budokai HD Collection.

yeah this better happen and u haven’t been on psn for 22 days -_-
ssjbardock13

You can use Classic Controller Pro/Gamecube Controller.
ssjbardock13

Its Budokai 1-3 not tenkaichi.
ssjbardock13

Same here bro, they should also release Naruto: Ultimate Ninja HD Collection for PS3/Xbox360 XD
ssjbardock13

Sorry I am in Bangkok, I didn’t take my PS3 with me.
ssjbardock13

I dream’t that I played Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale arcade, it was F!@#$%^ Addicting XD
ssjbardock13

Tenkaichi is not a Budokai game, This Budokai HD Collection which includes Budokai 1, 2 & 3 which is 2D Fighting and there’s a Budokai Tenkaichi series which is 3D fighting.
ssjbardock13

OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITHING FOR B!@#$#$ F!@# YEAHHHHH XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

You’re annoyed by overly simple things, aren’t you?
ssjbardock13

Its not, the art work is from Shin Budokai, and of course its going to be better than Kinect & Ultimate Tenkaichi.
ssjbardock13

Nope its just Budokai.
mayuran10

ssjbardock13

Both are budokai in the english version so YES both are BUDOKAI jeez
ssjbardock13

What I meant that this is Budokai HD Collection not Budokai Tenkaichi HD Collection, Budokai series was made by dimps and Tenkaichi series was made by Spike, and Budokai series is 2D Fighting and Budokai Tenkaichi series is 3D Fighting.
Mimi Sonoku

Ahhhhhhh there he is LOL XD

HOLY SH!T!! YES THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Because, let’s admit it guys, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi was crap! They can’t beat the classics, and now Budokai is back! Yes, and now with Naruto Storm 3 I’m going to cry tears of joy! This can’t get better.
Logan Jones

And of course they didn’t give us the date of when it will be coming to the United States. I mean budokai series was alright but still know 3d envirment and the characters are already unlocked for so what does tell you there won’t be as many characters!
