Dragon Ball Z, Super, GT, it doesn't matter. Akira Toriyama's seminal classic Shonen Anime and Manga is one of the most legendary pieces of fiction on the planet and it's time to dive into the good games. No more silly bad things, I want good meaty experiences that are fun, over-the-top and take me back to the 90s. From the NES to the PlayStation 2, Gamecube, PS4, PS5 and even Nintendo Switch, there's been DBZ video games for generations!

[@Animefandom59]

Yess I most liked to play dbzbt3 since I was 4 years old ❤❤❤❤

[@WolvesNest]

Honestly, it's one of the ones you skipped. DBZ: Legend of the Super Saiyan for the Super Famicom is pretty fun once you learn the mechanics. The game having the zenkai boost just built in for the Saiyan characters and being able to break the story by having characters survive to make a what-if continuation of the story was really cool. Only real problem I remember is the encounter rate and the potential to get lost in areas.

I just gotta say, Budokai 3's combo system is actually really deep! You can cancel every charged move in the game, and every character has a fascinating moveset so you can actually keep hitting those combos when cancelling. It really does become a whole different game once you adapt to this playstyle, one of the best DBZ fighting games for sure

[@SSJSonikku]

Understandably most people that aren't serious into the games would not know the deeper aspects of the Budokai series. When people talk about the Budokai series and are not well versed in the system, it disappoints me. The Combo system is one of them. The system had been in place from the very beginning. It only got better with each installment. Just an example, but you could do something like this with Goku in Budokai 3: - = cancel * = stun ~ = cancel and side step ^ = Juggle p k e = non charge P K E = charge >pkK~ >k* kkkK-

[@chugsomeheckingparmesanche6004]

both of your comments heal my soul, I hate when casual players talk about a system they know next to nothing about

[@sketchywest1176]

Yeah, the movelist just tells you what combos go into super moves, not your actual punches and kicks. Blew my mind as a kid when I discovered Kid Goku uses the Power Pole in some of his combos, and that you can get Vegito to do his kick combo with his arms folded.

[@DBZAOTA482]

The game never gave you any real incentive to get better, so a lot of the more advanced mechanics largely remained obscure over the years, but the community is still devoted and there's still new tech being discovered.

[@DBZAOTA482]

​@sketchywest1176 His P+K is uses the power pole strange you never knew

[@frogmanjones6340]

you forgot about Infinite World, which was the ps2 "response" to Burst Limit. It's like budokai 3 on steroids. It was perfect because it had minigames that felt like the ones in kakarot

Underrated entry but maybe the difficulty was the barrier to entry.

[@diamonshade7484]

You mean budokai 4

[@ThatBoyAiintRight]

Extreme Butoden was so underrated. At some point after the One Piece fighter came out, they actually out out an update that allowed you to play online against one another. So if you were playing Extreme Butoden online, you could also play against people playing One Piece online.

[@tenworms]

I found out about that from the Guile Win Quote video not too long ago. What a super cool thing, you'd think it'd be way more discussed than it is. High level matches in those games are completely insane to watch, the senor pink assist is some of the most deranged horseshit I've seen in any fighter ever.

Burst Limit is amazing. Most people don't talk about it because DBZ Games without the Buu Saga is criminal, especially after Tenkaichi 3 did regular Dragon Ball and GT, but Burst Limit's style is the best in the series. Probably even better than FighterZ since it actually tries to be unique and more flavorful rather than trying to just being a cutout of the Manga art, which, while impressive, isn't visually striking or unique.

So glad you mentioned Fusions, it's such a fun game. I loved collecting all the characters completing my "Pokedex", and getting to fuse your OC with any DB character was dope

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

Fun fact with Extreme Butoden and that One Piece game from ArcSys, both of the games got an update in Japan that allowed you to battle with each other, aka you can play as the One Piece characters in the One Piece game and battle DBZ characters online in a weird but unique cross-game cross-play. Pretty sure it worked locally, too.

[@alexbarnes2904]

Great video!!! Man, I played every DBZ game on the Gameboys/DS', and loved all of them. Especially "Legendary Super Warriors", sooooooooooo much fun!!!

[@glubritz]

It's always nice to see Fusions highlighted. It's been one of my go-to games to play whenever I'm just. Feeling down and don't know /what/ to play. I'd start over, make a new oc (or just make one of the few characters not in the main game) and play through the whole story and the ridiculously good post-game. Just recently I did a challenge run where I don't use any of the fusions. Y'know, the game's main mechanic. The game has so much loving detail put into it's weird, wonderful pokemon-like fun that it truly never gets old for me.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

12:00 Thanks for talking about the games and yeah Burst Limit was truly something to behold at the time even though it had ended on a cliffhanger. Super Dragon Ball Z, which is another game I never see many talk about or bring up was probably the very first Burst Limit game so to speak on the PS2 console which is crazy but yeah that game was something else too.

[@FiishySomething]

Ahhh i remember seeing some random news article about Fusions, saw some screenshots and was sold on it straight away, like combine every single warrior into somebody new?! YES PLEASE!

DBZ Fusions really suprised me when I played it a few years ago. Bouncing around enemies on the battlefield is really fun. For some reason it takes its time to actually get to the titular mechanic of the game though. I haven't dived? dove? divven? into Kakarot's DLC yet, but the base game is also one of my favorites. Cyber Connect really knows their stuff.

[@betacase07]

Attack of the Saiyens did have a super Saiyen. If you collect the dragon balls and ask for a challenge, you fight Broly. You get his necklace which almost max out your stats.

Super Dragon Ball Z is the most underrated DBZ game. It's such a fun fighter that takes more style cues from the manga instead of the anime.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Legacy of Goku 2, and Kakarot gotta be my favorites

[@Nokachi]

My favorite dragonball game is definitely raging blast 2. I know I'm probably alone but I loved all the what if stories. That game had so many! Including one where Vageta actually cared about nappa, so when he was killed, it caused Vageta to go super saiyan. If you've never played it, just give it a shot

[@MrDarksol]

Well I'm definitely gonna be marathoning a good chunk of these dbz games. Since my birthday is coming up I guess I'll try to get dragon ball z kakarot along with Unicorn Overlord and since I do have a 3Ds, I'll dive into the other games I missed out on namely the DS and GBA titles. Though another series that I can recommend people try out and a friend brought this back up to my attention is the dragon ball Z super sonic warriors games the first one on the Game Boy advance and the second 1 on the DS. Those are really good and a lot of fun in terms of handheld fighting games with the 2nd game being a personal favorite of mine since I started with that 1 1st. Overall a very good solid video detailing all of these hidden games. Rest in peace Akira Toriyama you made our childhoods fun!

I'm pretty sure in Japan there was functionality to combine Extreme Butoden with the One Piece 3DS game and have people play multiplayer against one another using both versions of the game. Someone else on KZbin had a whole video about it. Also Dragon Ball FighterZ was probably the most successful main stream Anime Fighter that was FGC embraced until the lack of rollback led to issues and when Rollback was finally officially added this past month, it still had bugs and issues that pissed people off and essentially left the game dead. The devs said they'll have an update on a fix later in April but they also sai Also also I think Broly is a secret boss in Attack of the Saiyans. I'm 70% sure so there is a Super Saiyan in there.

Huh... No mention of Supersonic Warriors? One was on the GBA and its sequel was on the DS... Basically a 2D version of the Budokai Tenkaichi games which were really fun (though I liked how long the matches lasted in the first game, the second had the life bars go down way too quickly to savor the matches). What's more, Arc System Works made them, so they didn't just come out of nowhere for Extreme Butoden on the 3DS. This is kinda made apparent since Supersonic Warriors 2 started the whole switching characters/assists on the touch screen and one or two songs introduced in SSW2 being brought back in Extreme Butoden.

Regarding Tenkaichi 3's story mode, I heard that Tenkaichi 2's story mode was actually closer to what Budokai 3 did with the open world and some people liked it a lot because of that. Even if aside from that, everyone agrees that the gameplay aspect was undoubtedly perfected in Tenkaichi 3. Aaaaaand its great that you mentioned the Legacy of Goku games- my brother had a bootleg copy of the second game which meant that I unfortunately could never save my progress, but I remember having fun with it a handful of times even with that.
