All Dragon Ball video games for the Nintendo NES

Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza!! is the fifth game/cartridge of Dragon Ball released for the NES in 1990, and the second one to carry the Z title. It was released while the DB anime and manga were still ongoing. This game was also never officially released outside Japan.

It is the direct sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Kyōshū! Saiyan, sharing the same gameplay system with minor improvements. It is a turn-based card battle RPG, where players explore the map to collect new cards while progressing through the story and engaging in battles.

Its story covers the entire Namek Saga, from the arrival of Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan, to the battle between Super Saiyan Goku and Full Power Frieza. To tell the story, the game takes some creative liberties, such as Goku fighting Frieza in all of his transformations.

Dragon Ball: Tap Battle is one of the first games released for Android and iOS mobile devices. It is a 2D fighting game played by tapping the screen to move the character and attack. It features multiplayer mode and a card system to upgrade your characters. Some players refer to it as the mobile version of FighterZ.

Dragon Ball Online is the first Dragon Ball MMORPG released. Akira Toriyama himself was involved in its story and the design of characters and races, allowing players to choose between Humans, Nameks, and Majin. You complete missions, level up, and explore dungeons with other players; it’s the WoW of DB. Unfortunately, the game was only available in Japanese, and its servers shut down in 2013.

Rumor has it that unofficial servers and translations exist, but you’ll have to find those yourself.

Dragon Ball FighterZ – Legendary Edition was released about six years after the base game, and it is a much more complete edition than all previous ones. This edition includes the base game, FighterZ Passes 1, 2, and 3, Commentator Voice Packs 1–4, cosmetics, and an exclusive lobby avatar of SSJ Goku.

In total, it includes the game plus 19 character DLCs, which is quite a lot.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero – Collector's Edition is the most complete version of the game available on its official release day in 2024, and the only one that included a physical copy of the game. This edition includes the base game, everything from the Deluxe edition—meaning access to the first season pass with 3 DLCs, and 3-day early access to each DLC's content.

It also includes the Ultimate edition content, i.e., the Ultimate Upgrade Pack: Goku (Super) outfit with Power Pole, emotes, backgrounds, a customization item, and the Super Shenron Summon, all of which are cosmetic items.

And as an exclusive bonus to this collector’s edition: the physical game, a Goku and Broly (DB: Super) diorama statue, and a decorative steelbook case.

The 3 DLCs included in the first pass feature over 20 characters from DB: Super and DB: Daima, along with cosmetics, and some story and battle content.

The PlayStation Video CD (SCPH-5903) was an exclusive model for Asia (NTSC-J), based on the SCPH-5000 model, but with the particular feature of being able to play Video CDs.

This model has lighter colors and is the only one capable of playing Video CDs out of the box, without any additional hardware.

This model is considered very rare and a collector’s item, due to its unique features such as VCD support, its white design, and the limited number that was manufactured.

The Game Boy Advance provides a more powerful handheld gaming experience with advanced graphics and a larger screen. Backward compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, it's the ideal console for those seeking performance and fun.

Carrying or storage case for your console with Dragon Ball decorations.

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.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is the second Dragon Ball game released for this console in 2007. The game also came out for other consoles, like the PS2, but the Wii version had slight differences.

It is the third fighting game in the most famous 3D fighting saga of DBZ, the Sparking or Tenkaichi Budokai series. In its story mode, players can experience almost every battle from DB, DBZ, and DBGT.

The game features up to 161 playable characters (16 more than on PS2). This is 97 more characters than in Tenkaichi 2, including King Cold, Nail, Neo Shenron, and Tapion.

The game itself is the same as the PS2 version, but the Wii controllers allow players to perform special actions and control their characters. It is also compatible with the traditional controller (Wii or GameCube). Additionally, the Wii version included an online multiplayer mode via Dragon Net Battle servers (no longer functional today).

In summary, one of the most beloved games among the fandom.

The Game Boy Color revolutionized handheld gaming by introducing full-color graphics. Compatible with original Game Boy games and exclusive new titles, it delivers a vibrant, retro experience in a compact design.
