The DBZ Arcade Games Nobody Remembers - Mad Panic Gaming

Indeed

Did you know DBZ VR VS was supposed to get a 3DO port? But of course it was cancelled and is considered lost media.

[@MadPanicGaming]

Was not aware of that, that could've been cool if they added some extra features

[@spenserbeckerszs]

I am sure someone, somewhere has it as a collector’s piece. Probably able to run it on their PC I bet. I’m willing to guess that the port was gonna probably have some sort of” Story Mode” explaining the new villain of the game. All purely speculation though. Still I believe someone who worked for 3DO is probably hiding it somewhere.

[@JAJITJIT-d7m]

Oh wow, if that was the case, it would have been a Japanese exclusive because Dragon Ball Z didn't catch on in the US til '96.

[@gogosegaga]

Yes my friend. We from the same generation I also remember anime on cable Sci Fi channel and Toonami were so great.

[@MadPanicGaming]

It was a great time to be a kid

Saturday Anime was my shit.

Thanks for reviewing this one! When i was a kid I'm playing this game on my local arcade and i have difficult time to reasearch what title it is.

[@the-NightStar]

When I was a kid, that first Dragon Ball Z arcade game was literally at my local bowling alley.

[@angelcontreras2485]

Watching this hungover was perfect

[@MadPanicGaming]

Writing it drunk was perfect too 👍

[@jeffcullifer5629]

In the early 90's, there was a side-scrolling DBZ arcade game (the title was in Japanese, I don't know its real name), where you only played as Goku. It played similar to Final Fight and Goku could gain "auras" by not moving for several seconds. It looked like it took place during the earlier part of the Majin Buu saga.

[@MadPanicGaming]

Doesn't sound familiar, can't find any record of a game like that. A bootleg maybe?

[@Mari_Izu]

This game doesn't exist, the only beat'em up in the series was a GT game for the Game Boy Advance.

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

I remember seeing DBZ 2 SB in EGM magazine article back in the early 90s.

[@solracrod]

Great video Jim! Happy new year bud!

[@MadPanicGaming]

Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

Totally awesome video man 😎!

THANK YOU!

@ You’re welcome man 😃!

[@Chicomite]

So crazy that not even Japan got a decent Dragon Ball NES platformer, imagine how awesome it could've been in the pantheon of good 8-bit platformers like Batman, Mega Man, Shatterhand, Mitsume Ga Tooru, etc. I wouldve been happy with a DBZ Mega Man clone like Darkwing Duck or Krion Conquest. Or even a cool 16-bit beat em up half as fun as TMNT or others, why didn't these type of DBZ games get made? Instead a bunch of mediocre fighting games was all they could think of until the GBA era, with those portable DBZ games I still need to play. These arcade games look cool, but I still want a DBZ 2D platformer, even now. We're many years into the retro revival with new life breathed into beat em ups with games like Shredder's Revenge and River City Girls, let's go Bandai Namco

[@MadPanicGaming]

I agree, a DBZ platformer would have been amazing. Had to wait a while for Advance Adventure.

[@kylestyle5693]

Cool! Love seeing Japan exclusive stuff!

@MadPanicGaming you're welcome 😊

[@MoonlitSlime]

Commenting for the algo, great video and a pretty unique topic to cover for Dragon Ball!

[@MadPanicGaming]

Much appreciated

[@darktetsuya]

I do at least remember reading about VR VS in game magazines, at the time the concept sounded interesting? but seems in actual practice it didn't work out so well. there really should've been a port of fighterz to the arcade though, that might be my favorite DBZ fighting game! though I am kinda partial to the SFC originals I did pick up one of em a while ago.

[@MadPanicGaming]

My favorite DBZ game is probably still Legacy of Goku 2, that or Budokai Tenkaichi 3

[@napoleoncoronadocortes5740]

I played a bootleg of dragón ball z 2 super battle in México circa 1997-1998, hard as hell, instead play the king of fighters

[@MadPanicGaming]

If only a competent developer could've had the DBZ license, we'd have some solid arcade fighters

[@speedysandisk78]

I bestow upon thee bonus kudos for including some Dragonzball Pee... YOU MONSTER, FRISBEE!!

[@MadPanicGaming]

[@davidtran9444]

I couldn't get into for dbz when i was a kid. 20 minutes of heavy breathing? No thenks. I did trade a girl at school my complete vhs collection of bubblegum crisis for the broly movie. I found the movies a lot more enjoyable than the episodes.

[@MadPanicGaming]

True, all that filler did get annoying, dragging fights out to a ridiculous extent. The movies are much easier to watch, just a quick plot setup, introduce villain, and get to the action.

[@spenserbeckerszs]

Which is why “Dragonball Z Kai” exists. Chops the series WAY DOWN & gets rid of the filler. However, the downside is that you miss a lot of the other fun stuff like “Snake Way”, HFIL, Napa & Vegeta taking down a planet together & even the “Garlic Jr Arc” Whicj connects back to the “Dead Zone” movie. Eh, give & take I suppose…

[@chocolocojames213]

I'm not into DBZ but maybe a Smash Bros game on consoles might be fun😊😊😊

[@MadPanicGaming]

Oddly enough there is a Smash Bros style game featuring DBZ, One Piece, and Naruto characters. It's called Battle Stadium DON.

[@spenserbeckerszs]

Yes & while it’s fun (I own it along with a Japanese PS2 that it was made for) it’s WIDLY unbalanced. Never a fighter to be taken seriously that’s for sure.

[@kradfreedom9624]

DBZ games for famicom are not that bad, some are decent and I was able to play some of it using a bootleg famicom and an actual japanese cartridge and surprisingly I was able to finish DBZ RPG 3 attack of killer androids and the 4th one which is the Gaiden. Both are spectacular in a way where the animation is the highlight points but since its japanese you just go with the flow and you will be stuck sometimes but thanks to Neoseeker and Gamefaqs I was able to complete both lol.

[@FalcomScott312]

Great Video Jim & Happy 2025 mate! 🎉 🎮👍

Ozotto debutted in the lasr season of Super Dragon Ball Heroes back in 2018. Just like the game he appeared in, that season of the anime (and arguably all the rest) was also pure crap.

[@MadPanicGaming]

Ah, I see. I never bothered to watch anything after Z.

[@Mari_Izu]

@@MadPanicGaming Super Dragon Ball Heroes is not a true anime, but advertisement for an Arcade game of the same name. And Watch Dragon Ball Daima, it's amazing.

[@emmanuelelutin]

nobody ... absolutely not :D

[@MadPanicGaming]

I checked, it was literally zero people, crack research team on this channel

[@the-NightStar]

I think you're kind of unfair to most of these games, but ESPECIALLY to V.R V.S which is actually a REALLY fun game if you know how to play it, and you clearly don't

[@MadPanicGaming]

I was very fair lol, I played these games for several hours before forming an opinion, in the case of the first two playing them both at the arcade and at home. Also, the old excuse of "this shit game is actually really good, you just suck at it" is tired and played out, VRVS is a graphically impressive game but the gameplay stops being fun after like 10 minutes, but I played it to completion anyway.
