Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Deluxe Edition was released almost a year after the standard version of the base game.
It includes:
Full game in physical format.
Season Pass, covering the first 4 DLCs themed on Dragon Ball Super.
Early access to the character Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Super.
Dragon Ball FighterZ brings back the classic arcade fighting genre in 2.5D, with graphics and illustrations worthy of the era. It’s a highly competitive fighting game where we can find almost all the characters from DB Super and DBZ, among others.
Its PS5 version was released a few years later than on other platforms, but it featured graphics enhancements.
Its story mode introduces Android 21, the wife of Dr. Gero, who has created clones of the Z Fighters. We must progress through the story mode until we defeat her. However, the game’s main strength is PVP, which allows for amazing fights and combos.
Over time, it has received several Season Packs and DLCs that expand the character roster and add more content.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is born from adapting the concept of Japanese arcade machines played with real cards, machines, and the game of the same name DB Heroes, into a fully digital game, released in 2019 for PC.
The game is a collectible card battle game where we play as Beat, who gets involved in battles and fights to save the world alongside our heroes.
Gameplay consists of 7 cards versus 7 cards battles, featuring iconic Dragon Ball characters and unique transformations exclusive to this game. It features over 350 characters and more than 1000 cards to collect.
The Nintendo Switch Lite is the second model released by the brand of this console and at the same time the third console; this model was designed exclusively for portable use.
Since it was released only as a portable device, the console cannot be connected to a Dock, the charging and TV connection support; its Joy-Cons also don’t detach, and it weighs less.
By omitting these features, the console could be cheaper, and it was also available in multiple colors.
The PlayStation models SCPH-7000, SCPH-7001, and SCPH-7002 were the third revisions or models released by Sony for the PS1 in 1997 for its three main regions, aimed at fixing issues and improving the SCPH-550X series.
These models belong to the SCPH-700X series, with the 7000 being NTSC-J, the 7001 being NTSC-U/C, and the 7002 being PAL.
These models still retained the extra ‘serial’ port.
They are notable for being the first to introduce the DualShock controllers with analog sticks and vibration, and for improving the console’s internal components to reduce manufacturing costs.
The SCPH-700X series (its 3 models) includes 1 DualShock controller, 1 memory card, a parallel port, SGRAM for the GPU, and the internal power supply, along with the new PU-20 board, which was more efficient and replaced the PU-18.
The Nintendo 2DS provides an accessible handheld gaming experience without 3D graphics, perfect for players of all ages. Compatible with the Nintendo 3DS and DS library, it combines fun and practicality in a sturdy design.
Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension is the sixth Dragon Ball Z game released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom. It is also the fourth fighting game released for this console in 1996.
This game breaks away from the previous fighting games on the system and, although it remains a 2D fighting game, it brings much higher quality and smoother graphics. The screen no longer splits, there is now an energy bar to manage ki and attacks, and characters can transform during battles.
Its story mode covers from the Namek Saga —our battle against Frieza— up to Majin Buu’s defeat. It is worth noting that the story mode includes very epic illustrations for its time and console.
There are up to 9 playable characters, many with transformations, including Goku, who turns Super Saiyan, and Frieza, who reaches his final form, among others.
The original PlayStation 4, identified by models CUH-10xx, CUH-11xx, and CUH-12xx, marked the beginning of Sony’s fourth generation of consoles. It was first released in North America on November 15, 2013, followed by Europe, Oceania, and Latin America on November 29, and finally Japan on February 22, 2014.
This model is easily recognized by its “two-tone” design, combining matte and glossy finishes, giving it a distinctive and futuristic look for its time. It came equipped with a 500 GB hard drive, enough to store games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which took advantage of the technical leap of the new generation.
Although later internal revisions improved details such as power efficiency and Wi-Fi connectivity, this first version is remembered by many as the most “authentic”: the one that marked the beginning of a new era in which Dragon Ball once again shined on home consoles, with graphics and performance that, at the time, seemed straight out of the Tournament of Power itself.
