Used Nintendo Super Famicom Console System Boxed Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden & Super Butoden 3 2-Game Set

Do You Remember That Unseen "Ki" That Flowed Between You and a Friend?

It was never just a fighting game. It was a story of unspoken promises and rivalries, forged after school and on weekend nights in front of the glow of a television. The legendary fighting saga born from the Super Famicom is here, ready to transcend time and set your soul ablaze once more.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden (1993) — Where All Legends Began: With a Single Blow.

This was the revolutionary blueprint that changed the history of 16-bit fighting games. The shock of the "Dual Screen" system, which split the view when characters moved apart, gave us a battlefield as vast as the one in the original series. The screen shaking as energy beams collided, the tension of charging your Ki, the single special move that could turn the tide of battle—all of it was more than a game experience. It was an event.

【Behind the Screen: The Developers' Invention】 Why did they split the screen? It was their answer to a challenge: how to freely express the sprawling landscapes and open skies that Goku and his rivals fought in, despite the hardware's limitations. And then there was the momentary silence after inputting a command, followed by a character's cry as they unleashed a cinematic special move. That unique, dramatic pause is proof of the developers' deep love and respect for the source material, a burning desire to recreate the anime's most moving scenes. This cartridge holds the memory of an invention that made the impossible possible, and the pure, playful spirit of wanting to surprise the players.

It's perfectly fine if your whole body moves with the controller when you unleash a Kamehameha. Just try not to get so caught up in the commands that you get blisters on your thumb. The price of becoming a legend can be surprisingly steep, you know!

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 3 (1994) — The Sharpened Blade to Test Your Friendships.

This is a sharpened blade that casts aside a narrative to devote itself entirely to the grand stage of "versus battle." The blistering speed, a significant leap from its predecessor, creates lightning-fast exchanges where split-second decisions determine victory or defeat. The strategic depth for each character is greater, filled with an addictive charm that makes the call for "one more round!" with a friend feel like it could last forever.

【The Craftsman's Soul: Revealed by Stripping Away the Excess】 This title has no story mode. That is a testament to the developers' trust that the greatest stories are the ones forged between players themselves. They also made the courageous decision to remove the iconic cinematic special moves to create a more fluid battle, born from a deep consideration for the player's focus during intense, high-stakes encounters. It was a choice to sacrifice a past success for the sake of the series' evolution. This cartridge is home to the pride of a craftsman, expressed through perfectly polished game balance.

Be warned: if you try to leisurely charge your Ki like you did in the last game, you'll have an opponent in your face in an instant, ready to serve you a painful combo. Friendship, it seems, is sometimes built on merciless mind games... probably!
