Английская Википедия:Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden
Шаблон:Nihongo foot is a 1995 fighting video game developed by Tose and published by Bandai for the Sega Saturn. Based upon Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball franchise, its gameplay is similar to the Super Butōden sub-series, consisting of one-on-one fights featuring special moves, as well as five playable modes including one featuring Mr. Satan as the main character.
Announced under the working title Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden Sega Saturn, Shin Butōden shares the same character sprites and roster with another Dragon Ball Z fighting game developed by Tose for the PlayStation, Ultimate Battle 22, released months earlier. The game garnered average reception from critics; Reviewers praised the character roster and multiple game modes, particularly the Mr. Satan mode, but most felt mixed regarding the audiovisual presentation. The title sold approximately between 59,035 and 110,000 copies during its lifetime in Japan.
Gameplay
Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden is a fighting game similar to the Super Butōden sub-series. Players fight against other characters in one-on-one matches and the fighter who manages to deplete the health bar of the opponent wins the bout and becomes the winner of the match. The game contains five modes of play: Story mode, Versus mode, Group Battle mode, Tournament mode, and Mr. Satan mode. The game also features a roster of 22 playable characters and their respective transformations. Characters available are: Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza, Android 18, Android 16, Cell, Trunks, Gohan, Tien Shinhan, Dabura, Majin Buu, Mr. Satan, and Gogeta.[1][2][3][4][5]
Shin Butōden uses a customizable control scheme. Special moves are present in conventional format, with most commands consisting of button combinations. Characters can dash back and forth, and also charge their Ki gauge to unleash a special attack. Returning from the Super Butōden sub-series is the split-screen feature: when one of the two combatants moves far away in the playfield, the view is split to keep both fighters shown in a single screen while their positioning is kept via an on-screen radar. In Group Battle, players gets to create a team of five characters and fight against either another player or an AI-controlled character. In Mr. Satan mode, Mr. Satan is trying to raise enough money to pay off his debt to Android 18, and the player places bets on matches and cheats by using several items, such as banana peels, guns, and dynamite.[1][2][3][4][5]
