Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (Game-Key Card) contains exactly the same as the physical cartridge version sold for Switch 1, but this is a digital version with a box and a card with a key to acquire the game on our console.
This edition only differs from the cartridge version in the branded logo, which here is exclusively decorated for Switch 2, and it includes a key instead of a cartridge (remember that the cartridge on Switch 2 requires a graphical upgrade update, but not on Switch 1).
Game-Key Cards can only be inserted into the Switch 2 to activate the digital game. But remember the game is backward compatible, and if we have it on our Nintendo account, we will have it on both consoles.
Dragon Ball Z III: Ressen Jinzōningen is the sixth Dragon Ball game/cartridge released for the NES in 1992, and the third to carry the Z title. It was released while the DB anime and manga were still ongoing. This game was never officially released outside Japan.
It is the direct sequel to Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza!!, sharing the same gameplay system with minor improvements. It is a turn-based card battle RPG, where players travel across the map to collect new cards, progress through the story, and engage in battles.
Its story covers the entire Android and Cell Saga, from the arrival of Mecha Frieza and King Cold, to Gohan defeating Cell after transforming into SSJ2 for the first time during the Cell Games. The game takes many narrative liberties and even includes events from Cooler’s first movie.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a multiplayer survival game in the "asymmetric survival multiplayer" genre (1 Raider vs. 7 Survivors), always played as a 1 vs. 7 match.
The Raider is tasked with eliminating all the Survivors, while the Survivors must hide across the map, use items and vehicles to survive the Raider’s attacks.
Since this is a Dragon Ball game, the Raiders are represented by classic DB villains like Cell, Frieza, or Majin Buu, who evolve into stronger forms (e.g., Cell: First Form → Second Form → Perfect Form) as the match progresses.
The Survivors must work together to stay alive. Players can choose from several DB characters and original ones made for the game. Their goal is to activate the time machine and escape.
In addition to being available on Nintendo Switch, the game is also released on PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series, and PC.
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.
Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle is a game that includes elements of board games, cards, and puzzles. Its story involves Future Trunks accidentally traveling to another reality and needing to return to his own. You must collect characters, learn mechanics, etc. Visually, it’s a good game.
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 3: Gokuden is the third game/cartridge of Dragon Ball released for the NES in 1989, while the DB anime and manga were still airing. This game also never officially left Japan.
It is considered the predecessor of Dragon Ball: Daimaō Fukkatsu, with barely a one-year gap between releases. It is essentially a turn-based RPG-style game, but played with collectible cards, which we gather while moving across the map, fighting battles, and progressing through the story.
Its story spans from when Goku begins his training with Master Roshi at Kame House to the tournament against Piccolo Jr., covering all arcs from the classic/childhood era of Dragon Ball.
A game of its time, which started to shape the card battle genre.
Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is the first game in the MOBA genre (like League of Legends), where we engage in 4 vs 4 battles, either against the AI or another team. For now, it features three game modes. Additionally, this game is also playable on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Smartphone's (Android/iOs).
