List Of Dragon Ball Video Games
The following is a list of video games based on the Dragon Ball manga by Akira Toriyama.
Since 1986, many video games based on the property have been released in Japan, with the majority of the games being produced by Bandai. Most of the fighting games from the 16-bit and 32-bit era were also localized and released in European countries like France, Spain and Portugal because of the strong following the series already had in those countries. Up until Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout, none of the Dragon Ball games were localized for the North American market, with the exception of Dragon Power (a version of the first Dragon Ball game for the Famicom that was graphically altered due to the lack of the license). Since 2002, Atari (formerly known as Infogrames) obtained the license to produce and release Dragon Ball games for the North American and international market.
However, with the expiration of the Atari deal in 2009, Namco Bandai Games will assume the North American and European distribution rights, officially starting in 2010 (but really starting with the 2009 releases of Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans on Nintendo DS, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo on Wii).

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Come not between the dragon and his wrath.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
