All the Dragon Ball video games for the Nintendo Switch

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the first Dragon Ball game released for this console in 2006. The game also came out for other consoles, like the PS2, but the Wii version had slight differences.

It is the second fighting game in the most famous 3D fighting saga of DBZ, the Sparking or Tenkaichi Budokai series. In its story mode, you can play almost all the battles from DB, DBZ, and DBGT.

The game features up to 135 playable characters (16 more than on PS2). Some Wii-exclusive characters are: Appule, Cyborg Tao, Demon King Piccolo, and Frieza Soldier.

The game itself is the same as the PS2 version, but with the difference that you can use the Wii controllers to perform special moves and control your character. It is also compatible with the traditional controller (Wii or GameCube controller).

In summary, a great game only surpassed by Tenkaichi 3.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu is the first Dragon Ball Z game released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, although it only came out in the Japanese region in 1992.

It is a turn-based card battle RPG, where players explore the map to obtain new cards while progressing through the story and engaging in battles. Its story covers events from Raditz’s arrival to Frieza’s death on Namek.

As a fun fact, this game is actually a compilation port from NES to SNES of the games Dragon Ball Z: Kyōshū! Saiyajin (1990) and Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza!! (1991) released for the Famicom in Japan. For more details, check the section with all Nintendo NES games.

Dragon Ball Z Gaiden: Saiya-jin Zetsumetsu Keikaku is the eighth Dragon Ball game/cartridge released for the NES in 1993, the fifth to carry the Z title, and the last game dedicated to this franchise on this console. This game was never officially released outside Japan.

It is the direct continuation of Dragon Ball Z III: Ressen Jinzōningen, and shares the same gameplay system, with minor improvements. It is a turn-based card battle RPG, where players move across the map to collect new cards, progress through the story, and engage in battles.

Its story, unlike the previous games, does not follow the manga or anime. It features a completely original plot, where a new villain named Dr. Raichi, a Tsufur scientist, seeks revenge against the Saiyans for destroying his race, and creates clones or ghost projections of past villains like Frieza and Slug to fight the Z Warriors.

The story of this game became so popular that an OVA was later created based on it, and it was also adapted to other consoles.

The Family Computer, also known as the Famicom, was the first home console with interchangeable cartridges released by Nintendo.

This edition or version was only sold in Japan, and for the rest of the world it came out two years later with a redesign in gray, and a new name, Nintendo Entertainment System, known to everyone as the NES.

The console included 2 controllers that could not be removed from the console, their colors were red and white, and the cartridges were inserted from the top of the console, which are smaller and have fewer pins than those of the Western versions.

Also, the video output of this console was only RF (antenna cable).

Dragon Ball: Ultimate Swipe is a fighting game based on DBZ. Its combat mode is in first person, with 3D characters and environments. It is played using taps and swipes on the screen. Its art, graphics, and other elements are recycled from the games known as DBZ: Burst Limit and DBZ: Tenkaichi Tag Team.

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, PC, and Smartphone's (Android/iOs).

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero – Deluxe Edition was released on the same day as the standard edition of the game, which only contains the base game. This edition, in addition to the base game, gives you access to the first season pass, which includes 4 DLCs.

With this edition, you will also have access to the content of each DLC in the pass 4 days before its official release.

The 4 DLCs included in the first pass feature over 20 characters based on DB: Super and DB: Daima, as well as cosmetics, and some story and battle content.

This edition can only be purchased digitally through the Nintendo Shop on our Nintendo Switch console, and once purchased, it will work on either of the two consoles, Switch 1 or 2, as the game is linked to the account.

DBZ: Legendary Super Warrior's is an RPG/Strategy card battle game that covers the entire DBZ storyline, from the Saiyan Saga to the Majin Boo Saga. The game is compatible with 2 players via the Cable Link.

The AV Family Computer, also known as the AV Famicom, was the renewed version 10 years after the original Famicom, when the Super Famicom was already on the market, with a redesign, maintaining colors and some improvements.

This edition or version was only sold in Japan, and for the rest of the world it was released one year later, but changing the name for its European and American versions, being known as the New NES, NES Top Loader, or New Design NES, but its real name is NES-101.

The console included 2 controllers that now could be removed from the console, their colors were gray, red, and white, and the cartridges were inserted from the top of the console, which are smaller and have fewer pins than those of the Western versions, that is, the same as for the original Famicom.

As a novelty, the video output of this console was only RF (antenna cable) and AV, and it was stereo instead of mono.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3 is the fourth Dragon Ball Z game released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, although it never had official versions in Europe or America, so we can say it only came out for the SFC. It is also the third fighting game released for this console in 1994.

It is the direct sequel to Super Butōden 2 and the last game with that name, so it remains a 2D fighting game with the same feature: when two opponents move far apart, the screen splits in two to simulate a huge stage. In this final title, players can fight with up to 9 characters, using melee combos, ki attacks, and flying, but with smoother gameplay in every aspect.

This edition does not have a story mode (although it includes characters from the Majin Buu saga) and is mainly designed for PvP, with Versus and Tournament modes only.

Among the playable characters are Goku, Goten, Dabura, Gohan, Majin Vegeta, Trunks, and others.
