All Dragon Ball video games for the PlayStation 5 (PS5)

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot arrives as the first major 3D RPG with an open world and combat worthy of any fighting game. The base game covers the entire Dragon Ball Z story, from the arrival of Raditz to the defeat of Majin Buu, featuring impressive cutscenes and the involvement of Akira Toriyama to fill in narrative gaps from the original work.

The game is single-player and aims to be an RPG in the style of Final Fantasy: item collection, upgrades, leveling up, and skill development, with a semi-open world where players can explore Dragon World and complete side quests and minigames like fishing, baseball, or races.

Combat is similar to that of Xenoverse, but with CyberConnect2's development style (as seen in the Naruto games). The artistic direction was unmatched at the time.

The game launched in 2020 for PC and other consoles, but on the Switch, it was released a year later, including the base game and the first two DLCs. On other platforms, those DLCs must be purchased separately.

Since its release, the game has received several Season Passes, adding content from classic 90s movies, the early Dragon Ball Super movies, and also content from Dragon Ball Daima, among others.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (Game-Key Card) contains exactly the same as the physical cartridge version sold for Switch 1, but this is a digital version with a box and a card with a key to acquire the game on our console.

This edition only differs from the cartridge version in the branded logo, which here is exclusively decorated for Switch 2, and it includes a key instead of a cartridge (remember that the cartridge on Switch 2 requires a graphical upgrade update, but not on Switch 1).

Game-Key Cards can only be inserted into the Switch 2 to activate the digital game. But remember the game is backward compatible, and if we have it on our Nintendo account, we will have it on both consoles.

The Nintendo GameCube, or DOL-101, was a revision of the first GameCube made to reduce costs and make it slightly cheaper; it was released 3 years after the original.

Essentially and visually, it is the same console: it supports connections for up to four controllers and memory cards, but it has lost the peripheral ports that allowed interconnection with other consoles like the GBA.

This console weighs less and removes the AV-Digital port, Serial 2, the back panel is always black regardless of the console’s color, and the GameCube logo is no longer removable.

In addition, this revision was only released in Japan and America, and it keeps the original’s region lock. Therefore, neither games nor memory cards are compatible between consoles and games from different regions, but there are methods like Freeloader or tinkering with the console to bypass these locks and play your games for collection purposes.

The PS one models SCPH-100, SCPH-101, and SCPH-102 were a redesigned version released by Sony of the PS1 in 2000 for its three main regions, replacing the PSX or Classic PlayStation, with the goal of reducing the costs of the SCPH-900X series and moving away from the old design, as well as being the last of this generation.

These models belong to the SCPH-10X series, with the 100 being NTSC-J, the 101 being NTSC-U/C, and the 102 being PAL.

These models are characterized by completely breaking with the original design, now being a lighter, smaller, and curved console. Moreover, it is the most robust and efficient of all PS1 models.

The SCPH-10X series (its 3 models) includes 1 DualShock controller, 1 memory card, SGRAM for the GPU, and the internal power supply, along with the new PU-41 board, smaller and more efficient, replacing the PU-23.

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.
