New Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Trailer Shows Majin Vegeta Fighting Buu

A new gameplay trailer for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, the upcoming video game from Bandai Namco following the events of Dragon Ball Z, shows off a whole lot of Majin Vegeta going about his business, giving folks a good idea of how moving around the world and the like works. But the climax of the trailer, and arguably its best part, is a fight with none other than Majin Buu.

The trailer, which you can check out above, looks pretty good with Vegeta and Buu actually get into the thick of things, but everything else about it seems a little… stiff. The animations for characters as they talk, the actual movement, and more come across as a bit rough. There’s still time before the game releases in January for this and more to be polished, and honestly? Folks are almost certainly going to be most concerned with the fighting, first and foremost.
