Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, like its predecessor, despite being released under the Dragon Ball Z label, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 essentially touches upon all series installments of the Dragon Ball franchise, featuring numerous characters and stages set in Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT and numerous film adaptations of Z. The game also features one of Akira Toriyama's original characters only related to Dragon Ball through crossovers, Dr. Slump's Arale Norimaki.
Emulation Information
Shut Down
This game's online functionality has been shut down as of May 20, 2014 and works in neither Dolphin or on Wii hardware.
Controller Map Overlap
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is capable of using both GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes. If a physical controller is set to emulate both a GameCube Controller and a Wii Remote concurrently, it will operate both devices at the same time. To fix, migrate controls to use separate physical controllers.
Problems
There are no reported problems with this title.
