Super Nintendo Games

Super Butoden

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan, France

Description: This is the game which started off the DBZ fighting craze. It featured good graphics for its time and a "Street Fighter" fighting style with a few twists such as a split screen and the ability to fight in the air. Unfortunately The gameplay is considerably slow and you cannot charge up your Ki.

Super Butoden II

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan, France

Description: Butoden II is literally Super Butoden with all of the flaws fixed. The graphics, controls and game speed are much better than that in Butoden. In addition, you can charge up your own Ki. Every character, except for Cell Jr, has a Super Meteo attack. Despite all of the improvements, this game is a rare find.

Super Butoden III

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan, Korea, France

Description: It would had been perfect to leave it at Super Butoden II. Of course, the third edition has its improvements but the fact that it lacks a storyline reduced the value of gameplay and enjoyment which would had otherwise been experienced on Butoden II.

Legend of the Super Saiyan

Genre: Role Playing Game Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan

Description: This game begins just like the series with the kidnapping of Gohan. After the fight against Raditz, Goku trains on North Kaio Sama's Planet just as he does in the series. As you might had guessed, next comes the battle against Vegeta. Followed on by that is the ever popular Frieza Saga portion of this game. You must help Krillin, Gohan, and the others to protect the Dragon Balls from Frieza and at the same time you must guide

Goku to Planet Namek and inevitably defeat Frieza. The graphics in the game are

fairly decent, however the battle mode remains intact.

Hyper Dimensions

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan

Description: This is perhaps the best Super Nintendo DBZ game you've got on the market. The graphics are stunning and look almost similar to Playstation graphics. The flying technique has been set in such a way that you can only fly under certain circumstances. This might seem like a downfall, but it sets the game in a better fighting environment. You can recharge your life/super meter any time you want. I like the idea of having both the

meters as one, mainly because in Dragon Ball, when you run out of Ki, you're

going to have a hard time.

Sega Saturn Games

Dragon Ball Z True Battle Story

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan

Description: This game is the equivalent to UB22. Although the backgrounds are 2D, they look a lot better than UB22's attempt at a 3D background. The game reverts to its SFC origins and features a split screen battle system. Unfortunately, the video sequences are not as sharp as UB22's for the PSX. As for gameplay, True Battle Story rocks. There is a VS mode, a Budoukai mode and a special betting mode where you take on the role of Satan and bet on fights to pay Android #18 her 1000000 Zeni.

Dragon Ball Z Legends (Same as PSX's)

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan

Description: This game is yet another fighter in the long line of DBZ, but this one is unique. Unlike traditional fighters, you and up to two other CPU controlled duke it out with up to three other CPU players. The controls in this game are surprisingly simple, yet effective. The backgrounds in this game are 3D with 2D rocks, trees, etc. The characters themselves are 2D but don't look nearly as impressive as their counterparts in UB22. The game features a story mode, a VS mode, and a tournament mode. For those of you who

beat the game, a special "what if" battle mode awaits you.

Sony Playstation Games

Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan, England

Description: This game is a continuation of SNES's Super Butoden series, but makes several improvements. The game features 22 base characters and five bonus ones. There is even a build up mode where you pick a fighter and gain levels by defeating your computer opponents. You can then take your built up character and duel with other built up players; very cool, huh!?!? This game also features 3D stages with 2D characters. The characters look just like their animated counterparts, but the backgrounds could have used some more work. The screen zooms out as you move away from each other rather than splitting. Also this game features dozens of CD quality speech samples for each character. Like the SFC games, this fighter includes a Budoukai mode, but once again breaking from tradition the game gives you the option of doing a 16 player tournament instead of just 8.

Dragon Ball Final Bout

Genre: Fighting Publisher: Bandai Released in: Japan, America

Description: This is a 3D game similar in style to Tekken. Don't let its likeness to Tekken get your hopes up. The controls are not very tight, which cause punches to sometimes take 2 seconds to happen on screen. Furthermore, pulling off combos is far too easy, so easy in fact that one cheap combo can take out your opponent. Granted, the graphics are nice for a PSX game but the characters move too slow! This was one of three Dragon Ball games which came to America, and it sucked. The dubbed voices are extremely lame (worse than FUNimation's new dubs).
