Play Dragonball Z - Taiketsu Online

Game Overview

Dragonball Z - Taiketsu on the GBA is one of those fighting games that feels rough around the edges but still has some charm if you're a fan of the series. The sprites are small and the animations stiff, but seeing Goku throw a Kamehameha in handheld form was neat back in the day.

Matches play out in a basic 2D plane, with simple combos and special moves mapped to awkward button combinations. I remember struggling to pull off Vegeta's Final Flash more than half the time. The roster covers the usual suspects, though some characters feel like clones with minor tweaks.

It's not deep, and the AI either stands there or spams the same move, but playing against a friend who also grew up with DBZ made for some dumb fun. Dragonball Z - Taiketsu is more of a nostalgia trip than a solid fighter.
