Niche Gamer Plays is an ongoing video preview series where our staff take an in-depth and yet concise look at classic, current, and upcoming games across all current gaming platforms.

Featured above, I streamed nearly two hours of the game’s arcade mode, as the online mode isn’t currently available (pre-release) and we’re not allowed to stream the story mode, due to spoilers. Expect further streams prior to its launch this Friday, as well as a giveaway for the game!

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Bandai Namco:

DRAGON BALL FighterZ is born from what makes the DRAGON BALL series so loved and famous: endless spectacular fights with its all-powerful fighters. Partnering with Arc System Works, DRAGON BALL FighterZ maximizes high end Anime graphics and brings easy to learn but difficult to master fighting gameplay.

Key Features:

  Using the power of the Unreal engine and the talented team at Arc System Works, DRAGON BALL FighterZ is a visual tour-de-force.

  Build your dream team and sharpen your skills to master high-speed tag combinations.
• Thrilling Online Features
  Ranked matches, interactive lobby, crazy 6-player Party Match… There is something for every taste!
