The Original Game Boy became popular with games like Pokémon and Tetris, but Dragon Ball also made its way to this handheld console. Today, both the console and these cartridge games are iconic collectibles, and here we bring you all the DBZ titles and the various versions of this retro console.
Here is the complete list of the two DBZ games released for the original Game Boy. Two RPGs, with one being a continuation of the other, narrating the events of the Saiyan and Namek Sagas.
DBZ: Goku Gekitōden starts immediately after the battle between Son Goku and Vegeta on Earth and ends with Son Goku's final fight against Frieza on Namek. It is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Goku Hishōden.
DBZ: Goku Hishōden begins at the end of Dragon Ball, featuring the battle between Goku and Piccolo at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, and concludes with the fight against Vegeta during the Saiyan Saga in Dragon Ball Z.
Here are the three different versions that were released with the Classic Game Boy technology. A minimum requirement to play these DBZ games.
The Game Boy Light is an upgraded version of the Game Boy Pocket, featuring a backlit screen for playing in the dark. Released only in Japan, it's perfect for collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Special Edition is one of the most complete bundles of this 2016 game. It includes the base game, the Super Pass (which contains Super Packs 1, 2, 3, 4 and early access to Future Trunks from DB Super), and also the Hero of Justice Pack Set (which includes Justice Packs 1 and 2).
It includes almost all the DLC content released during the 9 years since the game's launch, up to the release of this edition.
Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team is a game very similar to others in the Tenkaichi or Sparking line. This time, it allows 2 vs. 2 battles, hence the 'Tag Team', and multiplayer for up to 4 players. Its story mode covers from Raditz's arrival to the fight against Frieza on Namek. It is the game with the most characters for this console.
Dragon Ball Z: Sagas is the third DBZ game released for the GameCube console in 2005. The game was released simultaneously for PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, but with graphical improvements thanks to the console's cel-shading.
It is an RPG adventure game with battles similar to fighting games but in a different context. Nowadays, we could say it is the closest thing to Kakarot at the time, but without being open-world; rather, it is a linear progression, facing waves of enemies while playing through the story or other game modes.
The new and unique feature not seen until then is the ability for 2 players to play in co-op mode, completing the story together with a friend. In fact, the game has no versus mode or any PvP.
Its story mode includes content from the beginning of DBZ, with the Saiyan Saga, up to the Cell Saga.
The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is the first handheld console released by Sony in 2004. It also became the first serious competitor to Nintendo’s handheld consoles, and thanks to its wide catalog and capabilities, it secured its place in the market.
The PlayStation 3 was Sony’s third console, and here we have its final FAT model versions, released starting in 2007.
These versions were no longer backward compatible with PS2 in order to reduce costs, but they fixed other issues, such as overheating.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse Deluxe Edition is a special edition sold exclusively digitally and includes additional game content, specifically a DLC to unlock Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta, two Frieza skins for your avatar, and the Season Pass with all 3 DLCs available for the game.
