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.

These models still retained the extra ‘serial’ port.
They are notable for further reducing manufacturing costs and featuring a more robust and improved disc drive.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the first Dragon Ball game released for this Nintendo hybrid console; it came out roughly a year later than on other consoles.
The game is a direct sequel to Xenoverse 1, which never released on this console. Its story is set two years after the events of the previous game. In this installment, you assume the role of a time patroller tasked with traveling through key moments in Dragon Ball history to fix alterations in the timeline.
It is a fighting game with multiplayer and competitive modes. Players must level up, learn techniques from Dragon Ball heroes, and customize their own character, including choosing their race.
The game was released on multiple platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, but with some graphical restrictions on the console.
It includes numerous DLCs and a Special Edition that expand the story, including content from Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Daima. However, they can only be purchased through the Nintendo Shop.

PlayStation (SCHP-5500/SCHP-5501/SCHP-5502/5552) | NTSC-J · NTSC-U/C · PAL
The PlayStation models SCPH-5500, SCPH-5501, and SCPH-5502/5552 were the second revisions or models released by Sony for the PS1 in 1996, aimed at fixing issues from the SCPH-300X series.
These models belong to the SCPH-550X series, with the 5500 being NTSC-J, the 5501 being NTSC-U/C, and the 5502 and 5552 being PAL.
These models were the first to remove the video ports S-Video and RFU. However, they still kept the extra ‘serial’ port.
These models corrected one of the biggest issues of previous revisions: the disc drive’s location was changed, since before it was placed too close to the power supply, causing it to overheat and fail after extended use. In addition, the disc drive itself was improved, and the internal wiring of the console was simplified due to the removal of connectors.
The SCPH-550X series (its 4 models) includes 1 controller, 1 memory card, a parallel port, SGRAM for the GPU, and the internal power supply, along with the new PU-18 board, which was more efficient and replaced the PU-8.

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.
