Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, also known as the Ultimate Blast Collector Edition, is a special edition that included the base game and a Super Saiyan Gohan figure wearing the Great Saiyaman outfit.
Dragon Ball FighterZ – Deluxe Edition was an edition released approximately a year after the original game.
This version includes:
Base game
FighterZ Pass 1
FighterZ Pass 2 (6 DLC characters)
FighterZ Pass 3 (5 DLC characters)
That is, unlike the standard version, this edition includes all three FighterZ Passes, totaling 19 DLC characters.
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.
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 PC, 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.

The Xbox 360 was Microsoft’s second console, and this is its fourth model, the ‘Arcade’, released in mid 2007.
Description: A more affordable version aimed at casual players. It came with 256 MB or 512 MB of internal memory and did not include a hard drive.
Differences compared to the Core/Pro: It included pre-installed games and was cheaper, but had limited storage and fewer included accessories.
The original Xbox was Microsoft’s first console, released in 2001. Unlike other consoles of its generation, such as the PS2 or GameCube, it had more powerful hardware, closer to a PC, allowing for better graphics and performance.
For Dragon Ball fans, although only Dragon Ball Z: Sagas was released, the 3D differences were noticeable: battles and environments appeared more fluid and loaded faster. Additionally, its robust design and Xbox Live compatibility made it special for enjoying online gaming and exploring the Dragon Ball worlds like never before.
The New Nintendo 3DS enhances handheld gaming with a faster processor, more stable 3D, and additional controls. Compatible with exclusives and classics, it's the ideal choice for Nintendo fans.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers – Limited Edition was released on the same date as the standard edition in 2022. This is the most complete edition of the game. It includes everything from the Special edition, that is, various cosmetic items only available through these editions, the physical game, a decorative steelbook, stickers, a pair of Potara, and a figure of Cell's larval shell.
The cosmetic pack includes: a full outfit, a victory pose, and a vehicle skin.
Dragon Ball Z: Super Gokuden - Totsugeki-Hen is the fifth Dragon Ball Z game released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, although it never had official versions in Europe or America, so it only came out for the SFC. It is also the first RPG adventure game released for this console in 1995.
Although its title includes DBZ, the game only covers the classic Dragon Ball era, when Goku was still a child. Its story spans from the beginning of Dragon Ball to the defeat of Piccolo Daimaoh, covering almost the entire original series.
Its gameplay is narrative-focused with action or event moments, where players must make decisions or press buttons to fight, since battles are semi-automatic, requiring timed inputs. It feels like watching Dragon Ball interactively, similar to a graphic adventure.
Players will control Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, and other characters depending on the story arc being played.
Dragon Ball Z: The Legend is the second Dragon Ball game released for the console in 1996. This game was released for both PS1 and Sega Saturn.
It is a fighting game for 1 or 2 players (PvP), with 3D stages and characters made with 2D sprites, where you can choose several fighters in each battle and switch them at will.
The game features a total of 35 playable characters, including characters from all DBZ sagas. Some of them are: Cell, Cell Jr, Kid Boo, Frieza, Nappa, Piccolo, Kid Gohan, etc.
The game has the honor of being the first DB game in which its story mode narrates all events of Dragon Ball Z, from the arrival of Raditz to the death of Kid Boo.
The game has unique mechanics and particular gameplay; it is a game both loved and hated. Additionally, as a fun fact, this game never reached America.
