"Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai 9" is not an official game released by Bandai Namco. Instead, it is a highly popular of the original Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai (the first game in the series). Modders have taken the base game and injected it with new characters, transformations, stages, and graphical updates to resemble the aesthetics of newer anime arcs (like Dragon Ball Super) and the "Budokai Tenkaichi 3" roster size.
