:''"BT3" redirects here. BT3 can also refer to BackTrack 3.0 or Billy Talent 3.'' The ''Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi'' series, originally published as in Japan, is a series of fighting games based on the anime and manga ''Dragon Ball'' by Akira Toriyama. Each installment was developed by Spike, while they were published by Bandai in Japan and Atari in all other countries. Bandai's role will now be filled by the merged Namco Bandai Games and Atari's PAL distribution network has been absorbed into Namco Bandai Partners. Namco Bandai also handles developing in North America for future DBZ games beginning in 2010, effectively ending Atari's involvement. The trilogy was followed by ''Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi'', released in 2011. == Origin of name == The "Sparking!" in the Japanese title references the last lyric found in the chorus of the first opening theme to the ''Dragon Ball Z'' anime series, "Cha-La Head-Cha-La", performed by Hironobu Kageyama. However, the opening theme to the first game is the TV series' second opening, "We Gotta Power" (featured in the Japanese version; the English version includes a different, non-vocal song), which is also performed by Kageyama. The "Budokai Tenkaichi" title of the North American version is a rearranged version of . In the series, the ''Tenka-ichi Budōkai''. Despite its title, the "Budokai Tenkaichi" series is not a continuation of the ''Dragon Ball Z: Budokai'' series. In addition to a completely different game engine, the game was developed by an entirely different company. The series are also titled differently from the ''Budokai'' series in Japan. Were they true ''Budokai'' games, the first game in the series would have been ''Dragon Ball Z 4'' in Japan. Speculation on the English re-title is that Atari chose to market the game as part of the ''Budokai'' series in order to capitalize on a pre-existing market of fans already familiar with said game series. The English version also uses a great deal of sound effects and background music made for the ''Budokai'' series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
