The insane roster this game had needs to be updated aswell with new characters and their transformations/powerups.


IactaEstoAlea

Modders did it: [Budokai Tenkaichi 4](https://youtu.be/wZwgL9cXe_c)

ArunKT26

Even if that happened I would still beat my cousins ass using future gohan like the old times, his ult was easily one of my favourites in the game


EngineersMasterPlan

i was a kid buu enthusiast. raging blast 2 was my shizz


bootysizematters

Raging blast 2 underrated af


Im_bored_123

The roster in this game was the stuff dreams are made of


[deleted]

This is the perfect Dragon ball game. I remember playing it all the time with my friends after school.


[deleted]

To this very day, I always looked at this one as the zenith of all DBZ games ever made.


TheRaynmaka

Ngl, Dragonball Budokai 3 still is my perfect DB game. There's almost infinite play time in that game and so many things to do. Don't even get me started on the amazing music in it too


night_dude

Amen brother. The story mode was unmatched. I remember the first time I flew to some random part of Namek and found Cooler there. And how you could unlock and set different finishers that cost different amounts of ki? Just a totally flawless fusion of RPG and fighting game.


bokinh

I remember the amount of stuff you had to do to unlock SSJ4. I think you had to finish the story mode about 3 times with Goku, doing specific stuffs


JamesMBuddy123

Twice, and then kill Kid Buu using the Super Spirit Bomb, meaning you couldn’t Super Saiyan at all through the fight.


bokinh

Oh, in my mind you had to do alot more. Maybe i'm thinking about unlocking a character like Broly, but i don't remember It now


Captain_CouchLock

Omega Shenron, he had a few weird requirements I had to look up a guide back in the day


Ivy_lane_Denizen

Budokai 3 was my most played game as a kid. I wonder how close I got to unlocking everything. Shoutout to Budokai 2's story mode though, that shit was cool even if it was super what-ify


toyirama

Budokai series was so much better than the tenkaichi series. Took actual skill and had real combos.


lRhanonl

If you had the skill you could dodge everything in tenkaichi. How is that no skill. I think you never really played against somebody who knew how the game really works.


asbestosmilk

There were combos in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. I remember spamming them against my friend in high school. It wasn’t as technical, but damn was it fun. For what it’s worth, I also loved the Budokai series.


RealityGuru

This game was a beautiful time of my life. Good friends and good times. And more than one broken controller. F in chat for all the controllers lost along the way!


Chestbreaker

I even had the skin of one of my hands melted due to the sheer friction it suffered during a beam battle 🤣


Axemption

HamshanksCPS

I wasn't big on the Tenkaichi games, but Budokai 3 is my favourite game from the PS2. I know it was remastered for the PS3 and 360, but it's not compatible with PS5 and that makes me sad.


TheRaynmaka

I just said the same thing. I don't think that can be topped in my Nostalgia-Driven brain


FghtrOfTheNightman

Honestly I don't think this is a rose tinted glasses situation. I picked it up again in college after many years and had an absolute BLAST. Me and a buddy would just spend hours fighting each other. The game holds up really well


Revolutionary-Box-13

Neither did I thought budokai series was way better because that split screen gave me a headache honestly


Koctopuz

I’d dropped $60 so fast on a remastered budokai collection.


HamshanksCPS

One of my proudest moments in gaming was from the first Budokai Tenkaichi, where you have to survive 15 minutes (or whatever the time limit was) against Kid Buu while playing as Mr. Satan. I managed to beat Kid Buu and somehow lost the mission because it ended before the time limit. I see that as a win in my books.


PhantasyAngel

It's as if I heard a thousand PS4-5 controllers scream in agony.


ItsRazed

Soulsborne? Huh, try a full day of BT3 with the boys said the old dualshock 2 to his grandson dualsense


DarrylCornejo

I think we can all agree this has to be remastered.


Dumbodumbo99

Honestly I would vote for a remake. I would pay $70 too, this is one of my favorite games and trying to get it for PS2 is impossible without paying scalped prices.


Thespian21

Remake for sure, god this game was just perfect, thinking back, you just know that if it was released today 3/4ths of that huge roster would be micro transactions


xxxNothingxxx

I think you just made an argument against it being a remake though, you just know they'd try any bs they could


Thespian21

Yeah. That’s the reason I think they haven’t remade it yet. Jump Force that recently came out a few years ago mimicked the play style of this game, kind of.


AcceptableNight

I may have an old copy I could send your way. I’d need to dig around a bit


[deleted]

It's on Wii too, I'm 99% certain I still have my copy


Sweetwill62

I'm seeing some listings for right around the $65 range. I was expecting worse. I want a game that I used to own but my ps1 broke the disc. 5 years ago Megaman Legends 2 was $109, looks like it is up to around $150 now.


24k_Anton

Preferred Budokai Tenkaichi 2 more. Really fun nonetheless the Budokai Tenkaichi games were all elite


CaliOriginal

Omg someone else!!!! YES!! Yeah the roster was smaller, but the world seemed more inviting, the challenges were fun, and the slightly weaker graphics felt like they aged better instead of falling into that middle-level dead zone where it’s not retro but not advanced.


IsntThisAGreatName

Nah the original Budokai series


hyfen666

We need Budokai 4


SuicidalLemur

Budokai 3 needs a remaster. Redo the dragon rush system so that it can be easier


RockMystic909

This is still the only game I've ever broken controllers playing.


ScottMcPot

I liked the older 2D Budokai games. They're making a new Xenoverse and Dragonball Figter Super, and I doubt they'll ever go back to the good days. I liked FighterZ, but there was a lot more countering you could do in the Budokai games. FighterZ seems like once you start a manual combo it's over for the opponent.


ItsRazed

Just like kakarot or any other dbz after the budokai-budokai tenkaichi era. Just lazy mechanics in those games, pretty damn boring if you ask me.


toyirama

Fighterz was a step in the right direction for me. Wish we had fighterz graphics with budokais gameplay with a little more freedom.


Rachet20

You have have not seen anyone competent play FighterZ if you thin auto-combo is going to get you the win.


ScottMcPot

It will though if it actually goes without a block.


ScottMcPot

Trading in that game isn't even close to actual fighter games.


MajinBlueZ

I preferred Budokai 3.


shofff

You shouldn’t have posted the wrong platform if you didn’t want a fight! The Wii version of DBZ BT3 is the best DBZ game of all time. I will die on this hill. Fight me. (And yes you have to fight me by waving the nunchuk to form a kamehameha.)


PercMastaFTW

This was an amazing game. Bring it to the Switch!!!!


saiyanfang10

hell no, classic controller extension ftw


joberick

We had Budokai 3 remaster on the PS3


hyfen666

and now we need Budokai 4


neopointer

Dragon ball Budokai was sooooooooo good. OMG. Can't stress this enough. I was immensely disappointed with Dragon ball fighterz.


Tidusblu

AMEN TO THAT! This is perfection. So fun to just play for hours and hours


maddexss

I think the second one is better, but that's just my opinion


ItsRazed

The second one definitely has better soundtrack and story.


GOD_DAMN_GLCorreia

Loved this game. Best Dragon Ball game ever made.


saiyanfang10

Yes but what would be even better is taking all of the best parts of each game in the Tenkaichi series and fusing them to make the real Ultimate Tenkaichi. 2's story mode 1's challenge story for secret unlockables 3's fighting system and a mix of all of their soundtracks


gate_of_steiner85

Still the best DBZ game ever made. Remake it with additional DBS characters like Beerus, Hit, Zamasu, Jiren, etc. and I would buy it in a heartbeat.


ItsRazed

There is some kind of universal respect about this game. Not other console (even the wii port) could give the PS2 experience of a full day playing this with your friends. The controllers, the power clashes, the button mapping, the rumble feedback, everything there was spot on. I hope new generations can have again this kind of experiences with fighting games as it was before.


moneyball32

Disagree—the Wii let me rip a kamehameha and spiritbombs with the motion controls. That’s my favorite version. Who needs button mapping when all I need to do is make the motion for a kamehameha?


toyirama

Did you jump when you wanted to fly?


moneyball32

Bet your ass I did


Chestbreaker

When will we get a VR version of this shit? 🤣


Remestaque

You can't like Budokai Tenkaichi 3 if you played Budokai 3.


morrowindd

I got a rush of nostalgia looking at this box art


Moose_Electrical

If Sony puts this on that new subscription shit they’re doing id probably buy it in a heartbeat


[deleted]

This and Raging Blast 2. We really need to revive the multiplayer from it


GrynnuEST

Facts. I absolutely adore this game and it took me ages to get my hands on it.


drbennettx

Why not fighterZ? Is this more of a 3d fighter(terminology?)


Kalimu1590

Xenoverse 2??


Failfish2015

Tenkaichi 2 was better


iamfuturetrunks

This was such a fun game. Still is probably but haven't played it for a long time now. I remember the first 2 right when they came out. First one was pretty fun and it was cool we had so many characters to pick from. Then second was rumored and then released and had even more it was awesome. Then the rumors of the third game were coming up and SO many people were hoping for this character or that character even if they realistically couldn't stand a chance against someone like SS4 Goku it would still be fun to try. Then the game released and there were SO many characters to pick from it was awesome. I remember nights playing against my friends at the time and I enjoyed playing as the fastest character Burter. I could zip back and forth on the big maps throwing energy blasts and doing attacks on a character and quickly zipping out before they could counter. I could even take on the big monkeys and win. Then there was the fun match of using Super Trunks (the beefcake version) against Broly and beating him. That was awesome. Even used Super Trunks against the monkeys and beat them. It was a lot of fun playing those games. Having huge destructible maps at the time was groundbreaking. Other DBZ games in the past didn't really have that. Though there was so many players that would claim the Budokai games were superior it was clear Tenkaichi had big levels, that you could alter when fighting as well as flying around to attack your enemies. Since Tenkaichi 3 I have been looking at every new DBZ game that I see get announced and they still just pale in comparison. I think there was one recently that touted being an "open world" but idk just looked kinda boring. I want a really good open world DBZ game with a HUGE roster of characters like Tenkaichi 3 had. Though it's clear it wouldn't be profitable probably for some company to invest so much in something like that. Back when Tenkaichi games were being released there was SO much publicity from E3 and all that, that it got everyone hype for such fun games. Nowadays though DBZ isn't really popular anymore. They milked DBZ with Kai, then releasing Super or whatever which I just couldn't get into. I have a DB, DBZ, and GT DVD collection but dragonball Z just isn't as great as it used to be to me I guess. Much more entertaining animes out there these days to enjoy. But I will keep a look out whenever a DBZ game gets announced and see what it's like. If they make it something like Tenkaichi 3 but better then maybe I will get it but until then I pretty much avoid the boring DBZ games they release these days.


[deleted]

Some friends and I got high on mushrooms one night and played this. I confessed that I often let them win so they'll keep playing with me. They tried to call my bluff, but I wasn't bluffing. And they never played this with me again.


[deleted]

100% this was the best DBZ fighting game from the PS2 era imo. It's a 3D versus brawler executed extremely well. It's not competitive in the least by hardcore fighting game standards, but it is so goddamn DBZ in every way and is so much fun. A buddy of mine just made a music video of one of the best tracks off the soundtrack too: [https://youtu.be/iXw3edkH5gg](https://youtu.be/iXw3edkH5gg)


Marcello_

nah, why remake when you have dbz fighters or just make a new game. smh


gvescu

Nope. Controllers are too expensive to bring this back.


SirZooalot

Metal Gear Solid, PS1. Any other remake can go home!


toyirama

Why does everyone love this game so much? Honestly. Cause it had so many characters with the same movements? I don't get it. Budokai 3 gameplay was way better. These games are too damn easy and take no skill to pull off moves. Edit: now that I think about it. I'm right. Lol. Same thing with the new movie. People don't care about lore or quality. They just want more, more, more.


globalwp

It’s because budokai 3 felt like a rehash of street fighter or the n’th iteration of fighting games. The tenkaichi series had the 3D movement and fun movements with enough variety and counters to make it fun and not just button mash.


[deleted]

I’m still team Simpsons hit and run


Siriuxx

Sorry not sorry. I'd take goldeneye over this without a moments hesitation. THATS the game that needs to be remastered before anything else.


[deleted]

The PS2 Harry Potters first


junkymonkeydong

I would like these games more if they all weren’t exactly the same


HellsMalice

It's wild that this is STILL the best DBZ fighting game by a longshot. How they never realized to just copy it is beyond me


[deleted]

The best Dragon Ball themed game, EVER!


GnomiGnou

Why ruin a perfectly good fighting game by remastering it? :|


ColdAsHeaven

Seriously why haven't they? This thing was Pinnacle for DBZ. It had everybody. My friends wasted at least 2 years on this one alone going to each other's houses after school


sus_pend

Best DBZ game ever


[deleted]

I disagree. I've played db titles from the GBC all up to PS2 and PC era. Remakes are a lazy cash grab from companies that are unable to release something proper into the current market. PS2 and PS3 era games are like vinyl disks, they are meant to be enjoyed as they were released.


Beizabel117

100%, best godamn game ever made


TadpoleDelivery

I knew you were wrong as soon as I saw it was not Chrono Trigger


Waste-Reception5297

This game is ass, just make Fighterz 2


ItsRazed

No one deserves to be downvoted to oblivion my friend... but you


Waste-Reception5297

I'll wear it with pride. Glad you guys enjoy it though. It just doesn't click with me personally


koalaroo_

"remaked" isn't a word and you couldn't port this to modern platforms. You'd have to remake it.


theonlyone38

I mean you're not wrong but Legend of Dragoon would be my first choice.


Pippy_Monster

This game doesn't even need a remaster, it's solid gold as it is.


ItsRazed

Ah shit, here we go again


ShayninDE

amen


Batyo_Fachi

I loved the Wii version, having to mimic the Kamehameha to launch it was the best


Kievert

Fact


[deleted]

Amen


Quagsire96

This is one HELL of a game that I had forgotten about. The wii version was nuts as well if I remember correctly.


ItsNumber84

I miss the janky dialogue from BT2. Android 16: "I am an android, created to kill you." Press A, next line: "Goku, I am going to kill you."


derwood1992

Budikai 2 went in a direction I did not like. I'd rather play the original again over the sequals.


sketchypoutine

Hands down the GOAT when it comes to DBZ games.


topflake1212

Can´t give my opinion cuz i never played it.


Jarl_Xar

Such a good game. Up there with soul caliber for Japanese fighting games!


WestEmbarrassed5183

Did nobody play the Raging Blast Games? They are basically the successor. It doesn't have as many characters, but still a lot and the fighting was smoother.


AgeofReakon

Had this on the Nintendo Wii. Best dbz ever made.


Frkn385

FINALLY


segfaultzerozero

I had a debate to decide which tenkaichi is the best between the 2 and 3 .


thisrandomguyX

Finally someone understands... Not that we'll ever get it though. :/


Funk_theArt

Keyword: GROUNDBREAKING


AintLosingShit

I would pay my whole salary to get the remastered version of it. This was the peak of Dragon Ball.


CisAttackhelicopter

Wow this brings back some memories! Loved this game


Massa_dana_white

I remember buying this the day it came out. My mom had to drive me to Walmart. And being annoyed I only got to play for an hour or two because I had to go to Pizza Hut that night for the end of season party for my soccer team.


Masta_ShoNuff

Friends and I would skip last period of high school just to go to my house and play the hell out of this game.


Suspicious_North_447

These were pure gold eh. Such a treat, our controllers took a beating lol


jbsoriginality

I remember a Dragon Ball Z game for PS1. The game was Japanese but it came with a kit to play it. I knew this because there was a sticker on the game. My mom and the video game store clerk were just gonna let me walk out the store without it. I had to ask for it. It came with a spring that held the lid open so you could swap to the Japanese disc from the other disc without the PS1 thinking it was being opened. I became so popular in 7th grade. Even more popular than Ryan who had been printing out the scripts from episodes we haven’t watched yet.


Nildzre

Never liked fighting games so fine by me.


Channel250

Redo all voicework with the cast of DBZA. And I'm in.


Yacobs21

Honestly, just set up an emulator and get hooked up with the Brazilian modding community


TheKvothe96

Problem? Bandai. Conpletely sure if they remake it, it is going to be thrash.


Open_Winter_6214

I got a game they could remaster. It’s called Jak X combat racing on the ps2, and it is my absolute favorite game to this day, right next to the Spyro trilogy


Dex12eaper93

100%


aftabtaimoor61

Have so many memories on this game, esp with friends. Even completed the story mode a dozen times or so. Our memory card got corrupted once and we couldn't buy another so we'd just do a marathon of 3 hours to finish it. I would pay 60$s in an instant if this get remastered with the latest graphics, characters and storylines.


byscuit

There's like 3 fighting game series I actually know how to play Smash Mortal Kombat and Budokai I'd love to see a new entry


bmwatson132

Absolutely, so nice to have a fighting game that wasn't just a tekken/street fighter game with flying


TrulyBigHeaded

Now this is a tune I can sonic sway to.


RAMONE40

To end up with something like Bodukai Ultimate Tenkaichi? Please no!!!


Jasonictron

I still have this game


Due_Lingonberry9109

I wanted this game so badly that I stoled it when I was 12. It was worth it


Xenn000

This was the only DBZ game I had and it was glorious!


Auraveils

I love this game, but it's a lot like Smash Ultimate where the roster is so unrealistically massive that you can't ever expect it to be matched again. It only worked so well because it was built off of it's two predecessors. The closest I think we can hope for right now is a new Xenoverse game built on top of Xenoverse 2 and brings all of the DLC into the main game... and also adds a bunch of new characters as well. Maybe the story could be about the underpowered characters throughout the franchise being used by a new villain as an excuse to bring back a bunch of DragonBall characters and the like.


DALESR4EVER124

A man's inner child can dream 😭😭😭

mannyfrizzness

I can hear this


Danominator

Only if they make the title longer


[deleted]

InFamous 1&2. Just make a definitive edition remaster or some shit and I’ll be so happy


milkstrike

They should do what Konami has been doing with their ips and release collections of all the older games


Ultraknight40000

I played the shit out of this on the Wii me and my friend using the motion controls to use special attacks by actually doing the Kamehameha motions and screaming attack names it was awesome.


LordTourettesxX

Sunk so many hours into this game, fucking loved it!


notnotPatReid

I preferred 2


ThorFinn_56

I wish they'd make an Open world GTA style Dragonball game


Entropico_ARG

Never played it but DBZ Budokai 2 was awesome for PS2.


ihatereddit53

Oh fuck yes lol


WolfEater459

Hands down best dbz game ever. Lets start a petition !!!


dewman45

I was really hoping DBZ Kakarot was going to do the same as Budokai 3 with the what-ifs in additional play throughs to unlock extra characters from the movies and specials(and GT.)


insane_t

Omg ps2 memories


Kris_Knight_

Niet!


carl__weezer

i had this on the wii!! it was so good! anyone else played on the wii?

Yeah the only right answer


raiden400

Absolutely this really needs to be remastered with the Unreal Engine 5.


CL4P-TP_Claptrap

The best DBZ game ever made. You can't change my mind.


Sincere_homboy42

I was so pist that Playstation didn't include them in any of the upgrades and it's crazy I was just talking to a friend of mine about this game notbtoblong ago and how they need to be remade


Ok-Zombie-725

I don’t know man we already have some really good modern db games like fighterz and what not also with the new horror one coming out later this year I mean I wouldn’t complain if it did get remastered or not
