Last month, Dragon Ball Fusions was featured in Jump magazine, allowing us to get additional details about it. Let’s start with the Battle System, and more precisely what you can find on each screen:

Top screen: battlefield (with the characters);

Bottom screen: radar (which can also be used to scout for allies). You can see the distance between your characters and enemies, and the direction they will be blown away when hit.

During battle, you start by giving a command to one of your characters. You can attack in close-range combat, use ranged attacks, or use special attacks/moves. It looks like you can push enemies around, and even outside the battlefield.

As you can imagine, each character has their own attacks (including special moves), but also their own actions. One of them is called “Zenkai Battle”, and allows you to defeat the enemies and scout for allies.

You can find a translated scan over at Shonen Gamez.

Also, Bandai-Namco announced today that the New Nintendo 3DS bundle (including the game and cover plates) would come with a download code for Dragon Ball Z: Kyoushuu! Saiyajin (NES). It’s one of the usual first-print bonuses from Bandai-Namco: Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden and Project X Zone 2 also got a similar bonus.

Here’s some screenshots for that bonus game:

Dragon Ball Fusions (3DS) comes out on August 4th in Japan.
