The PlayStation Vita, or PS Vita, is the third handheld console released by Sony, available from 2011 to 2018, and the successor to the PSP. It greatly improved the graphics compared to its predecessors and was backward compatible with PSP and PS1 games. Of course, it also had its own titles, and Dragon Ball was no exception; here we show you the only two games that were released.
Here is the complete list of the two Dragon Ball games released for Sony’s handheld console, the PS Vita. Both are fighting games, although it must be admitted that J-Stars Victory Vs is not purely a Dragon Ball game, but rather a title featuring characters from V-Jump, including some from DBZ.
J-Stars Victory Vs is a fighting game that brings together multiple characters from the Japanese magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump, including some from Dragon Ball like Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza. It features multiplayer and 2 vs. 2 battles, and was also released on other platforms such as PS3 and PS4.
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is the only game dedicated exclusively to DBZ released for this console. It also had versions for PS3 and Xbox. The game allows you to use up to 70 different characters, includes a multiplayer mode for up to 4 players, and its story mode covers the entire Dragon Ball Z saga, from the Saiyans to Boo.
If you want to play the different Dragon Ball games for PS Vita, you will need one of these consoles, which supported these games: the first version, the PCH-1000; the second, the PCH-2000 or PS Vita Slim; and its TV version, the PlayStation TV.
The PS Vita (PCH-1000) is the first version of this console and was designed to replace the different PSP models with graphical improvements, a better screen, and new features compared to the PSP. This console was backward compatible with PSP and PS1 games, allows internet connection, and supports game installation from the cloud.
The PS Vita Slim (PCH-2000) is the second version released of this console, characterized by being thinner than the previous version, with some redesigned buttons, but the most important novelty was the inclusion of OLED technology in the screen.
The PS Vita TV or PlayStation TV is the latest version released of this console, characterized by having no screen, sound, or controls. It is essentially a mini-console with PS Vita technology, which we had to connect to the PC and use our DualShock 3 or 4 controllers to play on our TV. It is portable because it takes up no more space than a modern external hard drive.

The PSP Go (PSP-N1000) is the version that completely breaks from the design of its predecessors, changing, among other things, the button layout.
