All Dragon Ball video games for the Nintendo GameCube
The Nintendo GameCube and the three Dragon Ball Z games released for it
Discover here all the DBZ games released for the GameCube and the different console models that came to market.
The Nintendo GameCube was the sixth-generation console that replaced the N64. It was Nintendo’s first console to use 8 cm discs instead of cartridges. It competed with the PS2 at the time and had great games like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, and Super Smash Bros.
And, of course, some good Dragon Ball Z games also arrived—3 in total, which we will see on this page.
The Dragon Ball Z games for the GameCube
Here is the total number of DBZ games released for the GameCube: there are only 3 games, featuring fighting and adventure gameplay with 3D graphics and environments.
Both the two Budokai games and Sagas were also released on other consoles of the same generation, such as the PS2 and Xbox.
The different versions and models of the Nintendo GameCube console
To play GameCube games, you need the console that supports these games, and for that purpose Nintendo released two consoles: the DOL-001 in 2001 and the DOL-101 in 2003.
The differences between the DOL-001 and the DOL-101 are internal and connection-related, as the 101 is lighter, has fewer connections, and is also cheaper. Visually, there are not many differences; the most notable are checking the connections and whether the logo is removable.
It is important to remember that to avoid piracy and regional license circumvention, the console will be compatible with certain games depending on the region. The regions are:
-
NTSC-U/C: North America, Central America, South America, and parts of Asia.
-
NTSC-J: Japan and some regions of Asia.
-
PAL: Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia.
-
NTSC-K: South Korea.
To bypass these restrictions imposed by Nintendo, nowadays you need a Freeloader (a disc that allows you to run discs from other regions) or to modify your console with a chip for that purpose. But remember, this is only for collection purposes and not for piracy.
