All Dragon Ball video games for the PlayStation 4 (PS4)

Dragon Ball FighterZ brings back the classic arcade fighting genre in 2.5D, with graphics and illustrations worthy of the era. It’s a highly competitive fighting game where we can find almost all the characters from DB Super and DBZ, among others.

Its story mode introduces Android 21, the wife of Dr. Gero, who has created clones of the Z Fighters. We must progress through the story mode until we defeat her. However, the game’s main strength is PVP, which allows for amazing fights and combos.

Over time, it has received several Season Packs and DLCs that expand the character roster and add more content.

The New Nintendo 3DS XL features larger screens, more stable 3D, and improved performance. Perfect for enjoying exclusive and classic games with greater comfort and an immersive experience.

The PlayStation 3 was Sony’s third console, and here we have its final FAT model versions, released starting in 2007.

These versions were no longer backward compatible with PS2 in order to reduce costs, but they fixed other issues, such as overheating.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero – Premium Collector's Edition is the most complete version of the game (above the Collector's Edition), released on the game’s official launch day in 2024, and sold exclusively through the Bandai Namco Store.

This edition is identical to the Collector’s, but with a small bonus for purchasing from the official store. It was also produced in a very limited quantity, making it one of the only editions (alongside the Collector’s) to include a physical copy of the game. It includes the base game, everything from the Deluxe edition (i.e., access to the first season pass with 3 DLCs, plus 3-day early access to each one).

It also contains the full content of the Ultimate edition, i.e., the Ultimate Upgrade Pack: Goku (Super) outfit with Power Pole, emotes, backgrounds, a customization item, and the Super Shenron Summon—all of which are cosmetic items.

From the Collector’s Edition, it includes the physical game, a Goku and Broly (DB: Super) diorama statue, and a decorative steelbook case.

As exclusive content of the Premium Collector’s Edition, available only through the Bandai Namco Store, it also includes an additional steelbook and 4 cards from the Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Fusion Worlds.

The 3 DLCs in the first pass feature over 20 characters from DB: Super and DB: Daima, along with cosmetics, and some story and battle content.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot arrives as the first major 3D RPG with open-world elements and combat worthy of any fighting game. The base game tells the full story of Dragon Ball Z, from Raditz’s arrival to Majin Buu’s defeat, featuring stunning cutscenes and additional story content supervised by Akira Toriyama.

This is a single-player game designed in the style of Final Fantasy, with item gathering, crafting, ability upgrades, and a semi-open world to explore the Dragon World, complete side quests, and enjoy mini-games like fishing, baseball, and races.

Combat is similar to that of Xenoverse, but with the cinematic and fast-paced style typical of CyberConnect2 (known for their Naruto games). Its art style was unmatched at the time of release.

The game launched in 2020 in four editions: Standard, Deluxe, Ultimate, and Collector’s Edition.

It has received multiple Season Passes, adding content from the classic 90s movies, early Dragon Ball Super films, and even Dragon Ball Daima, among other additions.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is the second Dragon Ball game released for the Nintendo Switch, and it brings back the genre of classic fighting from the arcade era in 2.5D, with graphics and illustrations worthy of the time. It’s a highly competitive fighting game featuring almost all characters from DB Super and DBZ, among others.

Its story mode introduces Android 21, wife of Dr. Gero, who has created clones of the Z Fighters. Players must progress through the story mode until they defeat her. However, the game’s main strength is its PVP, which allows for impressive fights and combos.

This game was also released for other consoles such as PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but for the Switch it was adapted by slightly reducing its graphics so the console wouldn’t “explode.”

Over time, it has received several Season Packs and DLC that expand the character roster and add more content. However, these DLC are only downloadable and purchasable from the Nintendo Shop.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Day One Edition is a special and enhanced edition of the original game, designed for those who purchased the game on launch day. This edition is console-exclusive and was not released for PC.

This edition includes the following extras:

• Tao Pai Pai Stick Vehicle: An exclusive means of transportation to move around Conton City.

• Early access to the character Future Trunks: Available to those who bought the game in pre-order.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the 7º Dragon Ball game released for the PS2 in 2006. The game was also released for other consoles, such as the Wii, although that version had some 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 through nearly all the battles from DB, DBZ, and DBGT.

The game features up to 135 playable characters (16 more in the Wii version). Some of the characters exclusive to the Wii are: Appule, Cyborg Tao, Demon King Piccolo, and Frieza Soldier. 

A great game that was only surpassed by Tenkaichi 3.

Dragon Ball 3: Gokuden is the third game/cartridge of Dragon Ball released for the NES in 1989, while the DB anime and manga were still airing. This game also never officially left Japan.

It is considered the predecessor of Dragon Ball: Daimaō Fukkatsu, with barely a one-year gap between releases. It is essentially a turn-based RPG-style game, but played with collectible cards, which we gather while moving across the map, fighting battles, and progressing through the story.

Its story spans from when Goku begins his training with Master Roshi at Kame House to the tournament against Piccolo Jr., covering all arcs from the classic/childhood era of Dragon Ball.

A game of its time, which started to shape the card battle genre.

The Realme GT Neo3T Dragon Ball Edition is another limited edition dedicated to DBZ, a visual clone of the GT Neo2 DBZ, with 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, and a 6.62" display. It was inspired by Goku’s outfit, hence the orange and blue colors, as well as the logo with the kanji. Additionally, as a limited edition, it includes a unique box, exclusive theme, stickers, and cards.

The Nintendo Wii, or RVL-001, was Nintendo’s seventh-generation console, released to replace the GameCube. This console was a major gamble by Nintendo because it chose not to compete with Xbox and PlayStation in graphics power, instead focusing on gameplay and attracting casual players, not just gamers, introducing its new motion-sensing controllers to interact with games.

This console is also fully compatible with GameCube games, controllers, and memory cards.

It is Nintendo’s second home console to abandon traditional cartridges in favor of discs, but they are special discs developed by and for Nintendo, called Wii Discs, and it also reads GameCube mini-DVDs. However, the console does not play CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs.

The console is region-locked, and games and memory cards are not compatible between consoles and games from different regions. There are disc-based methods to bypass this lock, or console modifications, which allow you to play your games for collecting purposes.

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is the first handheld console released by Sony in 2004. It also became the first serious competitor to Nintendo’s handheld consoles, and thanks to its wide catalog and capabilities, it secured its place in the market.
