You Are Not Allowed to Play These Games

As I play and rank every Dragon Ball game, sometimes I find out weird stories of how these games came to be. This is the story of Bandai not wanting you to play Super Butoden 1 and 2 for some reason.

the limited release game practice is SUPER scummy. in most cases there's no reason to do it besides greed and honestly i don't see how making it limited compared to just leaving it there will make more money at least in the long term.

Wait, *what* ?!
Even as someone who keeps up with both gaming and Dragon Ball stuff, this is my first time hearing about the SNES Butoden games getting a release like this!
And this really bites, because if those games were on 3DS and Switch as normal purchases, I would literally buy them right now. Yet another page is Bamco's long history of not taking money I want to give them, I suppose.

Fun fact: Wanna know why Dragon Ball got so popular in France?

Two words: "Club Dorothée"

This channel is one of the main factor as to why France is the second biggest marketplace and producer of mangas. (Dreamland and Radiant being the two most popular original mangas from over here, and Tsubomi being the first ever exclusive platform for french online reading.)

Basically, they needed a lot of shows to fill out the time between Sitcoms and funny stand-ups so they bought a ton of shows (Since it was so cheap) without really looking at their content which led to huge controversies.

The most famous one being "Hokuto no Ken" being shown to kids with a funny dubbing to hide the violence.

Here are some of the most iconic shows from that period to us, french: "Saint Seiya" "Dragon Ball" "Ranma 1/2" "Golodorak" "Albator" "Ikkoku House" and "Captain Tsubasa".

(For example, that's also why, years later, Sonic X had the Japanese op fully translated instead of the 4kids one.)

(The only main issue is that this created confusion because everything was always translated and localized. For example: "Captain Tsubasa" became "Olive et Tom" with everyone changeed to European names instead of the Japanese ones, which created a lot of confusion. Although some exceptions were made like with Beyblade, which kept the original names.)

The history of Dragon Ball in Europe reminds me of the history of it in latin america. Dragon Ball was super popular arround here years before it got popular in the United States. I think that one of the movies, the Turles one, even came out in theaters in latin america a few years after the japanese release. Although am not 100% sure on the movie thing.

Im from Mexico where Dragon Ball Was HUGE in the 90s. I don't know if it was legal or not but I still own Botuden 3 in my SNES and my cousins had Botuden 2. They didn't even localized them they were in Japanese. OH gosh, thanks for the history lesson and the nostalgia trip

That's crazy to see how Dragon Ball had so many jumps between regions in the world. I'm from Israel, and we didn't get any Dragon Ball anime until 2002, at which point the US was already in the middle of the DBZ Buu saga, and on top of that we never got original DB and we started straight up with DBZ. We did get the original DB movies but only after both DBZ and GT anime shows were done in Israel. That goes for DB games too, I believe the first DB game we ever got was Budokai 1 if I'm not mistaken. Oh and we also got some changes to characters' names, like Piccolo was called Piccoro, Vegeta was called Makita (and yet Vegito was called Vegito so that was really confusing) and Frieza was called Paris (no joke).

This is not the first crime Bandai Namco did this.
- Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time for the PS4 is still delisted in UK & Europe regions.
- The Phantom Remedy "Hot Springs" DLC from One Piece: World Seeker wasn't part of the in-game disc, was only exclusive to Japan, Asia, and European through Bandai Namco's EP!C Rewards Club website and right now that DLC code is forever lost.
- Plus Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (PS4) four 'Extra mission pack' DLCs are not available anywhere beside within Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand respective PSN Store servers (get them while their still up before Bandai Namco remember).
And many more etcs.

By all, Really good video Globku and I hope wasn't to negative from my comment.

Unfortunately as us dragon ball fans we can't always get English games or 60fps games or all games that were from Japan😭

Super Butoden 2 and 3 were the first DB games I owned as a kid. Hyper Dimension was like my holy grail when it first came out.

Limited Releases in Gaming only encourages piracy.
It also drives customers away from future products they may have otherwise been willing to buy.

There's a reason I haven't spent a single dime on any game with even a passing mention of Dragonball since Final Bout

that background pic really looks awesome

[crisppzanuff]

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 was released in 1996 in the ps1 aswell
i remember being extremely hyped about getting it in the store only to find out how clunky it was, even so, i had a blast playing it since i was a kid back then

[willheismusical]

I was gaming for some of that and I was a huge dragon ball fan..it and ninja scroll was my first anime

[TheBandoBandito]

I think it's very fun to go through the history of the series I'm going to enjoy this ride

[yubeluchiha]

That’s crazy because a good fighting game back in my day was was Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 3:33

[hakashiuzumaki]

Man, u should rlly review "Hyper dragon ball z" fan game.The dev team rlly put their heart into it, tho its not official, its still one of the best.

[pqulxv]

Maan... latin america along with other countries really did get the best treatment when dubbing anime

Man I'm from the states and I bought the PAL and NTSC-J versions of ultimate ninja 5. Still can't get it working through alternative means. It sucks because when I finally got around to playing GNT4 after I had the game (NTSC-J) for years, I knew my experience would have been dragged down and it was because of how much work it took just to play it. Even if I play NUN5 someday, I know it'll be plagued by the same feeling. Basically, accessibility is key and I feel for Globku having to travel far and wide to cleanly present all these ports all over the place.

I had Z3 and Hyper Dimension on the SNES, had to use a converter to play them.
