I’m too attached to the anime and fighting games of my childhood, and the latest Tenkaichi title gives me every reason to stay that way

Bandai Namco's latest Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi game is a certified mega-hit with 3 million copies sold in the first 24 hours on all platforms.

After 17 years there’s finally a Budokai Tenkaichi sequel, and while it suffers from some technical issues, it's still the best entry yet.

Even before any modes were announced, Dragon Ball fans couldve probably guessed that there would be a tournament mode in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. After all, almost all DB games allow you to compete in tournaments that resemble those that feature in the anime and manga.

Sparking! Zero features a massive roster of 181 playable characters, a unique battle format, and an immersive story mode that has longtime Dragon Ball fans captivated with the amount of content available.

Sparking! Zero there are many alternate endings that players can achieve with some of the most popular characters in the Dragon Ball cast. Goku may have the most to explore, but some of the others have some very compelling and fun new endings to arcs that have been left unexplored for quite some time.

Sparking Zero, adding characters and other oddities to help make the game even more fun than it already is. A new creator has put together what a fusion between Gohan and Goku would play like, if the two split the Potara earings.

Sparking Zero's story mode has exceeded expectations, and an adaptation of Dragon Ball Super's Granolah Arc could be the cherry on top.

Even though almost every Dragon Ball video game tells the same story from the manga, some titles just retell it way better.
