The trailer was released on May 11, 2011 along with the second scan of the game. According to the advertisement, the game includes graphics that are faithful to the manga, destructible battlefields, along with design and controls aimed to bring a much closer experience to the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series.[1]

Development team Spike Co. Ltd. in Japan, the talented people responsible for sustaining the incredible worldwide success of the franchise over the past 6 years, have taken a new approach this time round, with the aim of creating a new landmark in the Dragon Ball videogame series. They've poured all their ki energy into upgrading the character and environment graphics, with character designs drawn straight from the original DBZ manga series, and totally destructible battle fields, including realistic craters and Kamehameha tracers cutting across the sky, delivering a heightened sensation of realism and dynamic immediacy.
