The GBC (Game Boy Color) boasts a vast and diverse catalog of games and genres, including Pokémon, Mario, and more. However, for Dragon Ball, only one game was available on this console: Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors.
We wanted to create a complete list of all Dragon Ball games for the GBC, only to realize there was just one: a game covering all the DBZ sagas, from the Saiyan Saga to the Majin Buu Saga.
In addition to the game, we also present the legendary handheld console—a must-have collectible for playing the original cartridges of these classic games.
DBZ: Legendary Super Warrior's is an RPG/Strategy card battle game that covers the entire DBZ storyline, from the Saiyan Saga to the Majin Boo Saga. The game is compatible with 2 players via the Cable Link.
The Game Boy Color revolutionized handheld gaming by introducing full-color graphics. Compatible with original Game Boy games and exclusive new titles, it delivers a vibrant, retro experience in a compact design.
That's right, this Nintendo handheld console, the GBC, featured backward compatibility with its predecessor, the classic Game Boy, allowing you to play GB games on your GBC. Many of these games even gained color enhancements. With that said, here are the two DBZ games for the GB that you can also enjoy on your Game Boy Color.
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.
We also have more complete lists of Dragon Ball games and video games cataloged by their gaming platform, including Board Games, PlayStation, Nintendo NES, etc.
Discover some of the Dragon Ball games, video games, consoles, and collectible accessories. From the iconic NES and GameBoy to the latest PC, PS5, and X-BOX titles, as well as the timeless board games.
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 is the second card game for the 3DS that recreates the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game. This sequel introduces new game modes, cards, and storylines.
Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2 Limited Edition is a special edition release that, in addition to the game, included a diorama of Gohan VS Cell based on the game and early access to extra in-game content.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is the fourth game in the Sparking! series, known in Europe and America as Tenkaichi Budokai.
It is the fourth entry in this legendary fighting game saga, featuring cutting-edge graphics and technology with sky-high expectations.
The game offers a multiplayer mode focused on PvP, both online and local, allowing competition with friends and family.
Its story mode is highly detailed and includes several What if... scenarios that are unlocked by performing specific actions during the main missions. Some of these What if events are particularly memorable.
It features a massive character roster, covering all Dragon Ball sagas: from Kid Goku’s early adventures, through the three major DBZ sagas, and even content from DB Super and DB Daima.
For those unfamiliar with previous Tenkaichi games, battles take place in 3D arenas with complete freedom of movement, where players must defeat their opponents using melee combos and special techniques.
The game was released for Nintendo Switch almost a year after its launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a graphical adaptation made specifically for the hybrid console.
The physical game (cartridge or card) contains the basic installation to play only on the Switch 1, but when inserted into our Switch 2, exclusive graphical updates for that console will be installed.
The Nintendo Switch and its Original or V1 version was released in 2017 as a replacement for the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS, being the brand’s first hybrid console, both portable and home use.
The console includes a 6.2" LCD screen to play anywhere, and also comes with a charging adapter that connects to the TV for playing on a big screen. You can remove the Joy-Cons from the console to have two mini-controllers for 2-player games, or place them on the adapter to act as a single controller.
Also, with this new console, we switched to a new cartridge system and the possibility to store and buy our games digitally.
Dragon Ball Fusions is an RPG game for the Nintendo 3DS, where players must collect Dragon Balls, participate in battles, and, of course, create some of the most curious fusions, such as Yamcha and a Saibaman, or Androids 16 and 17, among others.
DBZ: Taiketsu is the first fighting game for the GBA based on Dragon Ball Z, featuring up to 15 selectable characters and the ability to battle another player via the GBA Link Cable.
Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 is the first Dragon Ball game released for the console in 1995, and it was an exclusive for the PS1.
It is a fighting game for 1 or 2 players (PvP), with 3D stages and characters made with 2D sprites.
The game is called 22 because it supposedly includes a total of 22 playable characters, but performing a key combination on the start screen unlocks 5 more characters, and the game becomes 'Ultimate Battle 27', now with 27 characters.
Among the 22 base characters are Super Boo, Cell, Freezer, Krillin, Vegeta…, and the 5 extra characters with the trick are: Kid Goku, Roshi, Satan, Goku SSJ3, and Gogeta.
The game does not have a story mode narrating the events of the Dragon Ball manga, but it includes characters from all DBZ sagas.
Although the sprites are decent for the time and there are many characters, the gameplay is said to leave much to be desired.
The Wii Family Edition or RVL-101 was a redesign released 5 years after the original Wii, notable because this model is meant to be used exclusively in a horizontal position (the original one can be placed both vertically and horizontally).
In addition to the position change, we can notice that the console’s logo is now oriented to be read horizontally.
The most detrimental change compared to the original is that it is no longer backward compatible with GameCube games and peripherals.
Otherwise, it remains the same as the original console, with some improvements and bug fixes, but with fewer features.
This edition was only sold in Western markets and was never released in Japan.
The console has region locks, and games from different regions are not compatible. There are methods using discs to bypass this lock, or console modifications that allow you to play your games for collecting purposes. This information is for informational purposes only, not for piracy.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a fighting-focused game whose story is a direct sequel to Dragon Ball Online, but its gameplay is completely different. The game was also released for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360. The camera is third-person; battles take place in large, open 3D environments. You need to level up your character by training and improving skills.
The story follows Future Trunks, who explains that you must fix altered timelines and fight in different moments throughout Dragon Ball history.
The game had up to 4 DLCs before being replaced by Xenoverse 2.

By the time of its release, the first and second Season Passes had concluded, and the third was just beginning.
At launch, it became the most complete edition available, as it included the base game and access to all 3 Season Passes, featuring everything from A New Power Awakens Set, Trunks – The Warrior of Hope, Goku’s Next Journey, and DAIMA: Adventure Through The Demon Realm.
It also includes permanent upgrades for cooking items and an exclusive item to move around the map while exploring or doing quests: Tao Pai Pai’s Pillar.
However, this edition can only be purchased through the Nintendo Shop on the Switch.
