Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi Teaser Trailer
The teaser trailer for Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4 can be seen below.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi is a series of fighting games developed by Spike based on the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. From 2005 to 2007, Namco Bandai Games published the series under the Bandai brand name in Japan and Europe and under the Atari name in North America and Australia. Atari’s involvement was effectively ended when its PAL distribution network was absorbed into Bandai Namco Partners, and since 2010, Bandai Namco has also handled publishing in North America for upcoming Dragon Ball Z games.
Tenkaichi Tag Team was released on the PlayStation Portable in 2010, and the second and third installments of the original game were released for the Wii in 2005 and 2010, respectively.
A third-person camera angle from “behind the back” is used in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi games. Similar to Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors, which was released for the Super Famicom, special forms are treated as individual characters with unique stats, movesets, and fighting styles.
Players can increase their Ki gauge during combat to use special manoeuvres like the Power Guard, which cuts character damage taken in half. Moves known as Blast 2 skills can also be used by using the Ki gauge. Each character has a special set of Blast 2 skills that they can use to perform special attacks like Ki blasts and physical attacks.
