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.
We also have more complete lists of Dragon Ball games and video games cataloged by their gaming platform, including Board Games, PlayStation, Nintendo NES, etc.

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 Z: Gekitō Tenkaichi Budōkai is the seventh Dragon Ball game/cartridge released for the NES in 1992, the fourth to carry the Z title, and the first fighting game with a VS mode. This game was never officially released outside Japan.
This title completely breaks from the previous ones, as it is a fighting game for one or two players, with the particularity that to play, you needed an additional console accessory sold with the game: the Join Rom System Datach, a barcode reader.
To start battles, players had to use physical cards included with the game to select a character. Once chosen, the card was swiped through the reader and loaded into the console. There were additional character cards not included in the game, which had to be obtained separately.
Its story is based on a Tenkaichi Budokai (Martial Arts Tournament), where players compete using their cards against random characters from Classic Dragon Ball and the Saiyan, Namek, and Cell sagas of DBZ.
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, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2 is the third Dragon Ball Z game released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom, and it is also the second fighting game for this console, released in late 1993.
It is the direct sequel to Super Butōden 1, 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 game, players can fight with up to 11 characters, using melee combos, ki attacks, and flying.
Its story mode covers the Cell Games tournament, the DBZ Bojack movie, and includes alternate “what if” stories, which later inspired the popularity of Tenkaichi Budokai on PS2.
Among the playable characters are Goku, Bojack, Piccolo, Gohan, Frieza, Cell, and with cheats, players can use Cell Jr. and Vegetto.
Dragon Ball FighterZ – Ultimate Edition was released simultaneously with the base game, being the most complete edition available from the start.

Among them are Cooler, Bardock, Broly, Vegito Blue, and more.
Additionally, as exclusive content for this edition, the Anime Music Pack and the Commentator Voice Pack were included, along with in-game cosmetics.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero – Premium Collector's Edition is the most complete edition of the game, available on the official release day in 2025, sold exclusively through the Bandai Namco Store.
This edition is identical to the Collector's but with a small extra for purchasing it from the official store. Additionally, it had a very limited number of units, making it the only one (along with the Collector’s) that included the physical game. This edition contains the base game, everything from the Deluxe Edition, meaning access to the first season pass with 4 DLCs, and 3-day early access to each DLC’s content.
It also includes everything from the Ultimate Edition, that is, the Ultimate Upgrade Pack: Goku (Super) outfit with Power Pole, emotes, backgrounds, a customization item, and the Super Shenron summon, all of them cosmetic items.
As part of the collector’s edition, it includes: the physical game, a diorama sculpture of Goku and Broly from DB: Super, and a decorative metal case.
As exclusive content for this Premium Collector’s Edition, which could only be purchased from the Bandai Namco Store, it adds an additional steelbook and 4 cards from the Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion Worlds.
The 4 DLCs from the first pass add over 20 characters based on DB: Super and DB: Daima, as well as cosmetics, and additional story and battle content.
The physical game (cartridge or card) contains the basic installation to play only on the Switch 1, but when inserted into our Switch 2, exclusive graphical updates for that console will be installed.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers – Special Edition was released on the same day as the standard edition, in 2022.
This edition stands out for including exclusive cosmetic items, which are only available through this version or the higher-tier ‘Limited Edition’.

An exclusive victory pose.
A special vehicle skin.
All of this content is purely cosmetic and does not impact gameplay.
The PlayStation DualShock models SCPH-7500, SCPH-7501, and SCPH-7502 were the fourth revisions or models released by Sony for the PS1 in 1998 for its three main regions, aimed at fixing issues and improving the SCPH-700X series.
These models belong to the SCPH-750X series, with the 7500 being NTSC-J, the 7501 being NTSC-U/C, and the 7502 being PAL.
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.
The SCPH-750X series (its 3 models) includes 1 DualShock controller, 1 memory card, a parallel port, SGRAM for the GPU, and the internal power supply, along with the new PU-22 board, more efficient and replacing the PU-20.
