The recently announced Switch version of Dragon Ball FighterZ will launch in Japan on September 27 for 6,800 yen, the latest issue of V-Jump reveals.

Purchase bonuses for the Switch version include a download code for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden, early unlocks for playable characters Goku (SSGSS) and Vegeta (SSGSS), and a Super Rare card for the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game.

Wonder what the bonuses outside of Japan will be. Goku and Vegeta SSGSS are a given.

Wow a rare virtual card, and a completely obsolete 25 year old game, how generous of them. What about adding the already released DLC ?

Pretty cool they're including a SNES game. Will it be built into the game itself, or be offered thru a separate E-shop download (i.e. - I can independently buy it on the E-shop)?

The SNES game could be interesting, Nintendo's online service will be up by then and we already know about the NES games, could it be a sign of SNES games being available to purchase as well?

C'mon now ya'll. The port is a few months late not even a year yet. They don't need to add DLC to the port for free when they're not even finished with the first season of DLC.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. They did the same thing on 3DS with Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Butoden and that was before SNES VC. It was just Bandai Namco's own port that had nothing to do with Nintendo.

Uhmm, unless it is integrated in the game (but the wording doesn't point so), this is a weird announcement if it's a single release, isn't it? Could some kind of an additional VC service be launched alongside the Online then?

If it's anything like the Xenoverse release they have no problems with making people buy the season pass even if it's all been out for a while on the other consoles.

Going by their schedule, this is likely releasing along with the last 2 DLC characters from the season pass. Still, they should include something like the music pack or something like that.

They did the exact same thing for the release of Extreme Butoden on the 3DS, where pre-orders from Amazon came with a code to download Super Butoden 2, marking the first time the game was made available in the US. The original music for the game was removed and replaced with new music, as the original OST was caught up in the Kenji Yamamoto scandal. It was pretty much a SNES ROM in the same emulator Bamco used for their Jump Famicom/Super Famicom collection that came out for 3DS in Japan.

They'll probably do the same and make this available worldwide here, too.

For single joycon play, which would make sense since a single joycon doesn't have enough buttons. No idea how though.

It has enough buttons. You just need buttons for...
  • Light
  • Medium
  • Heavy
  • Special/Ki
  • Assist 1
  • Assist 2
Interesting enough, Android 17 & Cooler will likely be out by then, so I guess Bamco is timing the Switch version's launch with the completion of the FighterZ Pass.

They should rather include all the released DLC characters so far.

The game came out earlier this year & the last pair of characters (17 & Cooler) will likely launch at the same time. If Xenoverse 2 didn't include its DLC for the Switch port, FighterZ definitely won't.

input is the only reason i'd shy away from double dipping on Switch, seeing as I actually wouldn't mind the ability to training mode on the fly.

And we've all seen how excellent DBFZ is at downscaling its visuals so performance SHOULDNT be an issue

Hm, no DBFZ DLC news this month. I guess Bamco wants to announce the base saiyans close to their release & get it over with.

There enough direct feed Switch footage out there to make this call already I think.

There's no relation between this and Nintendo's online service. Any third party can release whatever game they please on the eshop, even if it's an SNES game

So rather than lowering the price of the game or include the DLC they...give you a card and a code for an old snes game? What a bargain!

That's what I expected. Xenoverse 2 released around then last year and it's technically Fall 2018.

The announced DLC should be out by then too.

Good release timing imo.

Reading to Japanese Nintendo, I realized that they already did something similar with SD Gundam G Generation Genesis, including a download for the SNES title Super Gachapon World SD Gundam X. So this apparently will be a standalone game.

We will see if this reaches other shores besides Japan (probably not).

It might. Bamco actually did bring over the Super Butoden 2 standalone bonus for Extreme Butoden on 3DS.
