I know that Bandai-Namco makes crazy Dragon Ball games, but never knew they’re gonna make another crazy game that’s mainly focused on Fusion this time! Only original Fusion I’ve seen in the past was Yamcha and Tien’s back in Budokai 2, and I’m kinda curious what other original Fusions they’ll make for this game. I could see they’re planning to make a Broly and Goku’s Fusion according to the pic, so I may look forward for this game as curiosity.
Sorry if this is unrelated, but I really love the new website layout!
