The PSP Go (PSP-N1000) is the version that completely breaks from the design of its predecessors, changing, among other things, the button layout. The screen is smaller, it has no UMD drive, so it can only play downloaded games, and for that reason, it has the largest internal storage of the four models, with 16 GB.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot – Deluxe Edition was released on the same day as the base game. This edition includes the base game, access to the first Season Pass with two extra episodes based on Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, and permanent upgrades for your cooking items.
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: The Breakers – Special Edition was released on the same date as the standard edition in 2022. This edition differs from the regular one in that it includes various cosmetic items that can only be obtained with this edition or the higher-tier ‘Limited’ edition.
Inside that cosmetic pack, you’ll find: a full outfit, a victory pose, and a vehicle skin.
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.
Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai is the first game of the franchise released for this console, a dynamic fighting game that allows multiplayer mode, featuring 19 characters, 17 stages, and a very complete story mode.
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.
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.
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.
