Dragon Ball Z Budokai is your next HD collection for PS3/360


Namco Bandai has announced that they will be bringing Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in time for Christmas.

The HD collection will include Dragon Ball Z Budokai and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3. Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 is strangely absent, probably due to its bizarre Mario Party-esque single player game that nobody liked, but the sheer radness of Budokai 3 more than makes up for it.

No details on which version of Budokai 3 will be featured, but one would assume it would be based on the later Director’s Cut/Greatest Hits version, which included extra costumes and Japanese dialogue options.

So if you’re big into Dragon Ball and want to get stuck into the best game in the series (and you didn’t just buy it last week like I did), get your wallets ready.
