Heck, you can even recruit characters from Dragon Ball Super, which is currently airing in Japan but still hasn’t made its way to North America.
DRAGON BALL FUSIONS 3DS ANDROID
A bunch of familiar faces from all three Dragon Ball shows are represented, ranging from Goku as a child to Super Android 17 from Dragon Ball GT. While the game’s story is relatively new, most of the game’s characters, including those that you recruit, are completely familiar. Shenron grants the wish, but not before you go on an adventure to recruit and gather fighters from the various Dragon Ball sagas in order to assemble a great team for the tournament. The story has your custom character (which you can design and name) and your ally, Pinch, gather the dragonballs and wish for the greatest tournament ever. Not that it differs radically from other stories, but the new scenarios for established characters is a nice touch. One of the big positives right from the get-go is that the game’s story does not follow the manga or anime series like most other Dragon Ball games, giving it a more leeway in what it can do. Dragon Ball Fusions is not without its faults, but the charm of the series and the fun battle system helps overcome most of the obstacles that come with it. What I got was a pretty fun role playing game that perfectly captures that Dragon Ball essence. Combining two of the Z Fighters into one superhuman being definitely has its appeal - could you imagine what it would look like if, say, Krillin and Piccolo were to merge into one? That’d be pretty awesome! So when Dragon Ball Fusions was announced, I was ready to jump to the helm. I always liked the idea of the fusion system in the Dragon Ball universe.
