Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden is a 1995 fighting video game developed by Tose and published by Bandai for the Sega Saturn. Based upon Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball franchise, its gameplay is similar to the Super Butōden sub-series, consisting of one-on-one fights featuring special moves, as well as five playable modes including one featuring Mr. Satan as the main character.
Announced under the working title Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden Sega Saturn, Shin Butōden shares the same character sprites and roster with another Dragon Ball Z fighting game developed by Tose for the PlayStation, Ultimate Battle 22, released months earlier. The game garnered average reception from critics; Reviewers praised the character roster and multiple game modes, particularly the Mr. Satan mode, but most felt mixed regarding the audiovisual presentation. The title sold approximately between 59,035 and 110,000 copies during its lifetime in Japan.
