All Dragon Ball video games for the PlayStation 3 (PS3).
All PlayStation 3 console models and the complete list of the 7 Dragon Ball games that were released.
There were seven Dragon Ball game releases for the beloved PlayStation 3, from Raging Blast to Xenoverse.
The PlayStation 3 launched on November 11, 2006, in Japan, being Sony’s third console. This seventh-generation system introduced Blu-ray, HDMI, internal game storage, and online purchasing.
Dragon Ball was quite present on the console, with a total of seven games, from Burst Limit to the first Xenoverse.
The Dragon Ball and DBZ games released for the PS3
The complete list of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z games released for the PS3 includes a total of seven titles, most of them fighting games.
As mentioned, nearly all the games are 3D fighters, with Raging Blast and Burst Limit being the most beloved. But the game that revolutionized the franchise on this console was the iconic Xenoverse 1.
Remember that all PS1 and PS2 games could be played thanks to backward compatibility on the earliest PS3 Fat models (1st generation / early CECHA–CECHB). In later revisions after 2007 (models CECH-1xxx, CECH-2xxx, CECH-3xxx), backward compatibility with PS2 games was removed.
Keep in mind that both the games and the console have region locks:
-
NTSC-J: Japan and Asia
-
NTSC-U/C: North America
-
PAL: Europe and Australia
Make sure the game and console are from the same region.

The different versions and models of the PS3 console
To play PlayStation 3 games, you need a compatible console, and for that purpose, Sony released multiple versions: 2 FAT models and 2 Slim models.
The first FAT models are CECHA and CECHB, which were the only ones with full backward compatibility for PS1 and PS2.
The second FAT models, which are not CECHA or CECHB, removed PS2 backward compatibility to reduce costs and fixed overheating issues from previous editions.
The third models were SLIM, numbered CECH-20xx / CECH-21xx, smaller, lighter, more energy-efficient, and without backward compatibility.
The fourth and final models were known as Super Slim, numbered CECH-40xx, characterized by being even thinner.
PS3 accessories and peripherals to play Dragon Ball
You may already have at home a console from when you were younger, or you may have inherited it from a friend or family member, or perhaps you bought it second-hand, but… you’re still missing some accessory or peripheral to be able to play with it, like an adapter or a controller…
So here’s a list of the things you might need to play your almost retro console on a modern TV.

Super Nintendo (SNES - NTSC)
Super Nintendo (SNES - NTSC)
The SNES (USA) or Super Nintendo was the second home console with interchangeable cartridges released by Nintendo for the American market, replacing the Nintendo NES and surpassing it in every aspect.
This console has two sister versions: one Japanese and one European. In Europe, it was also called Super Nintendo or SNES, as in both regions it replaced the NES, the equivalent of the Japanese Famicom. However, while the Japanese and European versions shared the cartridge system and design (only the printed name and the electrical system changed), the U.S. version had a different design and cartridge system.
Regarding cartridge compatibility between regions, this console has a lockout chip and the physical limitation of the cartridges, since Japanese and European cartridges are smaller and only have 60 pins instead of 72 like the American cartridges. Therefore, to play an EU or JPN game, we need an adapter (which also bypasses the lockout chip), but no Dragon Ball games were officially released in the U.S.
