Play Dragon Ball Z - Ultime Menace Online

Dragon Ball Z: Ultime Menace is one of those SNES fighters that somehow slipped under the radar—probably because it never left Japan. But if you dig up a ROM or track down a cart, you’re in for a treat. The second you fire it up, you’re thrown into these chaotic, screen-filling brawls where Goku and Vegeta actually feel like they’re throwing planet-cracking punches.

It’s not the prettiest DBZ game out there, but there’s something about the way your energy meter builds up before unleashing a pixelated Kamehameha that just hits right. The controls are snappy, too—no clunky menus or awkward combos, just pure, dumb fun. I spent way too long trying to beat Frieza with Piccolo (bad idea, by the way).

Honestly, it’s the kind of game you play at 2 AM with a friend, arguing over whether Vegeta’s Galick Gun is cheap or just brutally efficient. If you’ve got a soft spot for ’90s anime chaos, this one’s worth dusting off.
