Dragon Ball Z Video Game Retrospective - PART 1 Early Fighting Games

[@calcifieddirt4120]

don't really watch jared much anymore but these will always be my favorite videos of his. got me into a lot of fun dbz content

[@ZanathKariashi]

One of my favorite parts about Hyper Dimension was that if Piccolo or Cell successful blocked a big special attack, it'd blow one or both of their arms off, forcing them to quickly regenerate it (it greatly reduced the damage the move dealt but caused them to freeze for a couple seconds during the animation). Or Buu would simply be vaporized and reform.

[@michaelhayes1609]

Jared's comeback reminds of DBZ that's why I'm here haha

[@user-mt5ni3cv1x]

And now Dragon Ball has controversy. It all comes around.

[@arisenpawn425]

@@user-mt5ni3cv1x What happened?

[@user-mt5ni3cv1x]

@@arisenpawn425 There was audio of the voice actors saying some pretty raunchy stuff in the voices they use for DBZ

[@megamonster3538]

@@user-mt5ni3cv1x oh no the voice actors can have fun and make bad jokes. Boo hoo

[@NEETKitten]

@@megamonster3538 It's bad because those lines directly violate their contracts. Yet nobody was punished for said violation. This made a lot of people angry since less than a year ago, Vic Mignona was ruthlessly attacked by Funimation for a harmless comment that a fellow voice actor, Monica Rial, took offense to. This controversy shows an underlying hypocrisy within Funimation. By not punishing the involved voice actors for these "outtakes", they're basically saying "oh it's ok when certain people do it." "Boo hoo" indeed.

[@Bladeslingersgamepreserve]

It's interesting to see video games this old have characters whom americans didn't see until the Gamecube, Xbox and PS2 era.

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Except for final bout. Only valuable part of that game was having the newer characters spoiled before gt came out. Wouldve shat my pants as a kid playing it before gt.

[@ayylmao578]

I missed out on this channel for years and I’m glad I got into it recently. The final fantasy ones are amazing

Yes

[@Price1way]

It's nice seeing the evolution of Dragon Ball Z games. I used to buy all the Budokai (non-Tenkaichi) games for my PS2. The new DBZ games all look and feel the same no matter how hard the game developers try. It's not like they can change the story-line but it's still a little disappointing.

[@SirFooplesTheThird]

why not tenkaichi..i have tenkaichi 3 and the normal budokai 3 and i keep coming back to them...they are both so awwesome

I played the Wii version, and hated it. I'd be willing to bet that the PS version is 100x better, though.

[@Criticcizm]

I remember seeing the playstation dbz games as imports in a magazine when dbz was only at the frieza saga on toonami. I freaked out when I saw all the super saiyans lol. Sucks that the US didnt get any of the early games.

[@KyuubiMinato]

Final Bout is actually just as much as a Dragon Ball Z game as Budokai 3 or the Tenkaichi games. In Japan and Europe, it was just called Dragon Ball Final Bout, without the "GT" in its title. Considering that it's filled with mostly Z characters, I don't see why it didn't qualify for more than just an "honorable" mention.

[@-ZodiacPrince-]

Either way, he's not doing anything on Dragon Ball, only Z.

[@KyuubiMinato]

[@DylanKurosakiOfficial]

I really like you ProJared, you're really incredible with your reviews.

[@Harune_dot_exe0]

Good thing I have been watching all your vids. I nearly forgot you did these kinds of Videos, I was also raised playing most these Dragon Ball games.

[@shawnfields2369]

Lucky. I'd never heard of most of these games until this retrospective. I'd played Final Bout and Ultimate Battle 22, both of which were awful. Japan got most, if not ALL of the good to great DB/DBZ games. I get why, I'm just saying. Oh well, I prefer Goku's English voice actor over the Japanese one. In japanese, Goku sounds insane, literally. Sounds like an insane lady. I love the DB/DBZ series, but I started out with the Toonami English airing of DBZ. I also read the Cell/Android Saga in Shonen Jump at around that time. It took me a long time to catch up with the series, because I started from near the middle of the Android Saga, and even near the Namek Saga, where Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan were still flying the ship to Namek. I mean, the show kept restarting from the beginning again, and again, so I had quite some time to catch up. But even when I did, they still kept replaying the series from the beginning. So, I stuck to the games instead. Like Budokai, and it's sequels. Still a longtime, hardcore fan of the series, even to this day. Glad to be.

[@marioplushdude]

I’m rewatching some Jared vids and when I heard Dragon Soul I was so happy

[@snoopdoge9895]

so so so much nostalgia. not just with DBZ or these games which I've played 70% (the whole retrospective) but this series. the one that drew me into ProJared. much love Mr Jared

[@RisingJericho]

How could Shin Butoden be forgotten? Dude, the spritework and music in this game are phenomenal! :O

[@ajfatca]

thank you for including DBZ Legend (psone) on this list! tons of memories from that game

[@Xzile40]

OMFG Dragon Ball Z The Legend! I remember this game when I was a kid. As a 10 year old playing that game, it was difficult enough to be fun for me and fast-paced looking enough to keep my attention at the time. I loved that game so much, i need to play it again. Thanks for mentioning it in this video Jared

[@AnkoTime]

Shame you didn't talk about Final Bout. I rented it from a Blockbuster when I was a kid and played it a lot. The interesting fact is that Final Bout came out in 1997 only a few months after the Z saga premiered in the US. I literally had no idea who most of the characters were.

[@Type3Diabeto]

I'm that one person who enjoyed Dragon Ball way better than Z.

[@joaomesquita3069]

Makes 2. And other anime rather than dbz as well.

[@personhi1011]

[@blasifetheawesome]

[@Malovus]

DarkfoX I think most people have actually seen both feel that way

[@nothsideshredbuster]

DarkfoX I enjoy them both but Dragon Ball is a superior series in pretty much all ways but the combat.

[@CrushDani]

1. I've heard it called DBZ: Legends more than "The Legend"...any insight there? And that game didn't go "up to" the Buu saga, it completed all of DBZ including the Buu Saga.

[@UberMan5000]

Hyper Dimension was freakin' rad. I liked playing it on an emulator as a kid, even if I wasn't that good at it. The art style was top-notch.

[@shawnfields2369]

Wow. Doesn't feel like it, does it? Feels like yesterday, or last week or closer to something like last month? Yeah, I get the feeling. The games themselves don't look that way, but have that feeling. But that's also just how good Jared and his videos have been so consistently great over the last 10+ years. This particular DBZ game retrospective was what made me subscribe originally, well, that and the Pocky & Rocky episode with PBG, and the DBZ Sagas episode. After learning him and PBG were close friends, I knew I had to subscribe, and him talking about one of the best anime/manga series of all time, which I loved and grew up with myself, when it was on Toonami, back in 2004. Sorry, went off-track there. But yeah, this was 9 years ago? Geez, time flies, dude.

Correction!! Butoden was revived with a JP exclusive DS fighter called Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden. (If it were brought over, it would probably add the Z to the title) It controls largely like the originals, and has some very nice features. One of which appears to be "Model Growth." What I mean is that in the first fight with Raditz, Goku and Piccolo are super scrawny, and in later fights seem to buff up. (Granted this is only speculation, as I have only done the first battle myself.)

I remember mastering the secret code to the point where I could do it 5 times in a row. Good times. Also, I remember playing most of those on the emulator. They were pretty awesome. Especially Hyper Dimension. Though that was my last Dragon Ball Z game I would play until I hit my late high school years.

[@Radical_Rainbow]

Excellent and informative retrospective. Looking forward to the next part.

[@Xifihas]

Minor correction with Hyper Dimension. Clashes on the ground work the way you say but clashes in the air become a weird rock, paper, scissors game where one character goes in to the background and they take turns attacking and defending. The attacker could choose to use three quick ki blasts or one strong one and the defender had to choose to deflect the quick ones or dodge the strong one, then they switch places. The sequence ended when someone got hit with the strong blast.

[@maliciousalice]

The music is so stunning in these games, feeling very nostalgic.

[@Cebreuss]

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama

[@MelRains]

A friend of min had a modded Playstation and I used to play Dragon Ball Z the Legend. I don't remember too much about it, but I remember it being super fun. Great series so far, Jared.

[@DejtheBassist]

These vids are awesome, really brings back my childhood

[@PimDiffy]

There was actually another type of struggle system in the hyper dimension game. If two physical attacks connected at the same time while the opponents were in the air, a sort of rock paper scissors mini-game with ki blasts happened, it was pretty cool, but often overlooked because of how difficult it was to trigger

[@SephCornel]

This was very well put together and explained. Kudos to you

[@snakeman2493]

what is the song at the beginning? i'm sure you've gotten this plenty of times

[@Vercalos]

You know, I think out of all the games mentioned in this video, I've played Hyper Dimension the most. One thing I noticed with that one versus the Butoden games is that the sprites were made to look more different from each other. In the Butoden games, they all assumed the same stances and some of them even looked like the same body with swapped heads. In Hyper Dimension, every character had unique stances and art that went a long way to making them look different from eachother.

[@SeNniN06]

I've played every single DBZ game in existence thanks to emulation, lol... back in the days that's all I did. I searched every dbz game I could play. I've mostly played Hyper dimension and Legend out of these ones though. Hyper dimension sprites were awesome though for sure.

I think the point of the screen splitting, was because the system probably couldn't handle rendering the environment between where the 2 characters were.
