Play Dragon Ball Z - Super Saiya Densetsu (Japan) (Rev A) Online

Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu is this weird little Japan-only SNES RPG that never made it overseas, which is a shame because it’s actually pretty interesting. Instead of the usual button-mashing fights, battles play out with a card system—you’re picking attack combos, energy charges, and special moves from a hand of cards, trying to outmaneuver the enemy. It’s slower than most DBZ games, but there’s something satisfying about setting up a perfect Kamehameha at just the right moment.

The story follows the Saiyan and Frieza Sagas, so you’ll be grinding levels with Goku, Vegeta, and the gang against all the usual villains. The sprites are chunky but full of that classic 90s DBZ charm, and the music’s got some surprisingly hype battle themes. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand—some of the translations are rough, and the card mechanics take a minute to click. Still, if you’re into retro RPGs with a twist, it’s a cool piece of Dragon Ball history. Worth a look if you can track it down.
