More than almost any other series, Dragon Ball is a show that’s all about fighting, and fans flocked to Super But ō den, reportedly selling 1.45 million copies in Japan. In the late ‘80s, game adaptations for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were almost exclusively RPGs or card battle games, popular genres of the time and region, but the games finally hit their stride with the first fighter, Dragon Ball Z: Super But ō den. As one of the most recognizable anime properties in the world, Dragon Ball has been given numerous adaptations. I’m tempted to blame the Dragon Ball series.
#LIST OF ALL DRAGON BALL Z FIGHTING GAMES SERIES#
With the variety of concepts anime series can touch upon, why are their video game adaptations so limited? 3D arena fighters, 2D traditional fighters, or open-area fighters like Dynasty Warriors are often the only genres popular anime licenses are willing to commit to. IGN constructed a list of the 10 best anime-to-video game adaptations last year, and roughly six of them were fighting games. And if it does, how many on that list are fighting games? I’m sure you can think of a couple really good ones right away, but we’re over 30 years into these sorts of collaborations and I’m willing to bet your list doesn’t reach past five titles.
However, the same hasn’t been true of video game adaptations of anime. Over the years, for every decent anime adaptation of a beloved video game franchise, there have been dozens more that drop the ball, but recently it seems the quality of anime adaptations has improved.
