Play Dragon Ball Z - Chou Gokuuden - Kakusei Hen (Japan) Online

Dragon Ball Z: Chou Gokuuden - Kakusei Hen is one of those SNES gems that never made it outside Japan, which is a shame because it’s a solid mix of action and adventure. You play as Goku and Gohan, smashing through waves of fighters across the universe—some familiar faces from the anime, some just there to get wrecked.

The fighting controls take a minute to get used to—button mashing won’t save you here—but once it clicks, pulling off combos feels surprisingly smooth for a mid-90s SNES game. The story follows the anime pretty closely, so if you’ve seen DBZ, you’ll recognize the big moments.

It’s not perfect (the camera can be janky in tight spaces), but for a Japan-only release, it holds up way better than it has any right to. Definitely worth tracking down if you’re into retro DBZ games.
