With the recent resurgence in Dragon Ball popularity stemming from the anticipation of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, let's take a long look back at the absolutely massive amount of Dragon Ball games and pick out the modern successes, fan-favorite classics, and some hidden gems.
There has never been a time when fans have stopped consuming some form of DB material. It helps that new Dragon Ball content is always being released, such as the recently-announced movie. As for the video games, rarely do a few years go by without something coming out. So much so that every collection of the best Dragon Ball games will always have a few significant omissions. For instance, our list was missing a few really popular titles that deserve mention.
Therefore, we've updated the piece to add a few more gems. The first thing to notice about Burst Limit is how beautiful the game looks. Few Dragon Ball titles include character models as stunning as the cel-shaded ones featured in this fighter.
While Burst Limit's visuals are its biggest strength, it's not the only thing the game offers. Battles provide plenty of substance to go with the game's style as each one plays out at a brisk and enjoyable pace.
And even though it might seem simple at first, there is some depth to the gameplay. If only there were more depth to the roster, as one of the few downsides to the title is its small set of characters.
But all the main figures pre-Buu saga make the cut. Most of the best Dragon Ball Z games simply re-tell the tale of the anime. Supersonic Warriors does that, too, yet it also includes multiple 'what if' scenarios. These unique stories play around with the well-known DBZ narrative to provide something different. For instance, at one point in Piccolo's scenario, he brings back and fuses with Demon King Piccolo to gain the strength to take on Buu. These original storylines are interesting and allow for the spotlight to be shined on less celebrated characters.
The gameplay, on the other hand, isn't as groundbreaking, but it's enough to keep you entertained. It's always nice when the DB franchise experiments with other genres.
This bit title is an RPG, which focuses as much on the adventure part of the series as the big battles. Of course, there are still many fights to be had in the game, but you don't jump from fighting Android 19 to immediately squaring up to Android Instead, you travel around the fascinating world of Dragon Ball, finding things and talking to people. As a result, combat is a little simple, yet it's also oddly satisfying.
Raging Blast attempted to take the formula for 3D, action-packed fights to the next level with more cinematic elements and big, flashy, fitting attacks. For the time, and even now, the game is a graphical beauty that does well to capture the feeling of the manga and anime.
Gameplay-wise, Raging Blast doesn't introduce many new elements to the series as it plays similar to the Tenkaichi games. Yet, battles are still fluid and fun, even if the wonky camera can be annoying.
Plus, it provides something the anime never did: Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta. While the Xenoverse titles might not be ranked among the best RPGs of the generation , they're still both solid games. Overall, Xenoverse 2 edges out its predecessor because the sequel includes much more content.
One of the best parts of the game is its story. The title takes the original Dragon Ball Z tale and uses time travel to make some alterations. Can't contain your excitement after hearing about the new Dragon Ball games? Feel that there shouldn't be as many Dragon Ball games that are released every year? Let us know with your thoughts and comments below! Source: Siliconera and Saiyan Island. Rockstar Games remains tight-lipped about its next original project, but it still has some products confirmed for release in Namco Bandai recently announced the titles: Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butouden and Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butouden will a be a 2D cel-shaded fighter for the DS , which will feature the ability to let players shout out the names of super moves, like the "Kamehameha" to activate in battle, similar in functionality to the voice-controlled iPhone game, Voice Fantasy.
Likewise, Dragon Ball FighterZ is still releasing new characters and growing. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 on the other hand is long overdue, and Xenoverse 2 can only tide fans over for so long. There are a lot of improvements to the game that could be made in a sequel, and fan support for this would likely be overwhelming.
Given that it has been four years since the release of a Xenoverse title, it wouldn't be surprising to see the game on next gen consoles. Of course, the fact that Xenoverse 2 will be released on PS5 is slightly concerning, but doesn't rule out a sequel in the future. Though a sequel to any of the aforementioned games would be welcomed by fans, the best thing for Bandai Namco to do would be to release a new game altogether.
Finally, Xenoverse 2 provides players with way more customization in terms of character appearance and moves. Combining all of these things into one could create an amazing Dragon Ball game. Many fans desperately want a standalone Dragon Ball Super game , and with the introduction of the multiverse there are nearly endless potential stories to tell.
