All Dragon Ball video games for the Nintendo Wii
The Nintendo Wii and the three Dragon Ball games we could play on this console
Here we see all the DB games released for the Wii, as well as all the console models and their accessories.
The Nintendo Wii was the seventh-generation home console released by the brand to replace the underrated GameCube.
With this console, Nintendo broke the molds already established in other consoles and audiences, with gameplay that made our controllers detect the movement of our wrists and arms, thanks to its sensors and accelerometers.
The game that made this console famous was Wii Sports, but here we will focus on all the Dragon Ball games released, including Tenkaichi Budokai 2.
The 3 Dragon Ball and DBZ games released for the Wii
There were three titles for the Nintendo Wii; two of them were fighting games, specifically the iconic Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3, based on DBZ. Additionally, we had one focused on the classic Dragon Ball saga, an adventure game.
You know the Wii controllers are special, and the gameplay in the Tenkaichi games is quite different from other consoles, but you can always use a GameCube controller to play and avoid moving around.
The different versions and models of the Nintendo Wii console
To play Nintendo Wii games, you need a console that supports them, and for this purpose Nintendo released 3 models: RVL-001 (original Wii) in 2006, RVL-101 (Wii Family) in 2011, and RVL-201 (Wii Mini) in 2012.
The Nintendo Wii RVL-001, the original model, is compatible with GameCube games and controllers. The RVL-101 and RVL-201 are not compatible. Moreover, the RVL-201, the Mini, lacks Wi-Fi, SD card slots, AV output, and other connectors.
Keep in mind that, to prevent piracy and cross-region imports, the console is region-locked. 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.
To bypass these locks imposed by Nintendo, nowadays you need a boot disc that allows foreign games or to modify your console with a chip. Remember, this is only for collecting purposes and not for piracy.
