Shhhhh nononono. The grown-ups are talking about video games.
Ultimate Battle 22's problem wasn't really the roster, it's just that the damn game is almost unplayably stiff. Final Bout is the one with eight Goku. Eight and a half if you count Vegetto.
At least in Sparking the Goku Swarm is outnumbered by the other characters.
Let's not overdo it, it's only six and a half Gokus
: Adult GT, Adult GT Super Saiyan, Kid GT, Kid GT Super Saiyan, Adult Z Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 4, Vegetto.
And yeah, the game was awful. That split-second for the counter-special attacks that the damn computer never missed

I was close! Either way it's a hell of a lotta Goku.
Should've added Gogeta to make it an even seven...

DBZ Kinect: Short, boring, and it require Kinect, one of worst control system ever
Legacy of Goku 1: First new DBZ game in years, and we have Goku walking around and punching squirrels and dinosaurs.
I also was very disappointed in DBZ 2 for Famicom, you just had one battle music track, and almost zero bonus scenarios, except that short fight with Goku on Kanassa (1st one had retelling of DBZ Movie 1 with Z-Fighters, and 3rd one had DBZ Movie 5 retelling)

I'll put my top three...
1. Taiketsu
2. Sagas
3. Collectible Card Game

Saga's had some good ideas on paper and really tried to be something different, it just failed at it. Ultimate Battle 22 has one of my favorite openers, but it's still an ass game. Those small little benefits makes those two games better than Taiketsu. Nothing can out do that game in crap. It's ugly, broken and just not fun. It's the only game that makes me wince when I see it mentioned.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

If you were from, where I was from? You'd fuckin' HATE squirrels. You'd relish the chance just to cave some squirrel-domes in man, let me fuckin' tell you.
Anyway. I don't really think of DBZ Kinect as a game. It's shovelware at best, and an absurdly expensive vehicle for the Bardock special (60 bucks for a MOVIE!?) at worst.

I see the Collectible card game for GBA be mentioned. Is it really that bad? What is it exactly?

The music was annoying and there was no tutorial mode from what I can remember. The game should be fun for people who never play the card game and are new to it.

That sounds like me!
It may be a fun card game, but the game never tells you how to play it! I'm not sure if the instruction manual that came with the game told you how to play or not, since I bought it at Gamestop, but if you want a decent Dragon Ball card game, get Legendary Super Warriors for the GBC. I still say that is the best DB game ever.

Dragon Ball Heroes solely for its carnival of stupid.

Sagas was pretty awful too. My cousin and I both rent the game when it came out and we return it back like two days later. I also remember I forgot to take it off my birthday list at the time and I sold my copy like a day after my birthday. Sagas was boring, buggy and it was not very fun at all. Even the graphics suck and I remember I was like "Why does this game look like a Dreamcast game?" when it first came out. The character models and backgrounds look awful and dated.

I remember a Future Trunks history glitch. My cousin did Maskenko while I was fighting this robot. He teleport(Zankoken) to the man and I got "Hit" as well(Though it should go right through me as It normally do) and I froze -_-. My cousin also turn invisible while fighting 18. So he got his ass kicked cause he didn't know where to fight.

Super Saiyan Prime but Heroes is pretty ridiculous; to the point where it's actually off putting.

(L)SS3 Broli, SS3 (Z/GT) Vegeta, SS3 Future Gohan, SS3 Future Trunks, SS3 GT Trunks, and SS3 Gogeta. We went from 2 Super Saiyan 3s (Goku & Gotenks) to 8. It is also hinted in the DBH manga that we will get Super Saiyan 3 for the Saiyan avatars, so add 6 more Super Saiyan 3s (Beat, Erito, Beserk, Note, Viola, Forte), and you have 14 Super Saiyan 3s.
It personally doesn't annoy me that much, since the content in Dragon Ball Heroes exists both in the real-life game and the in-universe game.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I cringe a little inside whenever a new character is revealed to be able to turn SSJ3.
I'm also not a big fan of Bardock being the Super Saiyan of Legend.

SSj3 is the most popular transformation which is why they milk the crap out of it. At this rate, I feel like we might see SSj4 forms for GT Trunks, GT Goten, GT Gotenks, GT Gohan, Broli and Vegito. I think the new transformations are fun and I never view Heroes apart of the DB universe anyways since the setting is in a video game. They can do whatever they want with the game. I won't be surprise if SSj5 ends up being made since it hinted in GT by Vegeta from what I can remember.
I never played Heroes and most likely never will since it's a Japanese arcade game. I don't think it should be called the worst DB game ever because of the gimmicks.

Put on your best commercial announcer voice and scream out:
"Coming soon to Dragon Ball Heroes..... SUPER SAIYAN FOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR MISTER SAAAAAAAAAAAATANNNNNNNNNN!"
It's just wacky weirdness. Could be much better if it furthered the story a bit, or followed alongside Dragon Ball Online (!).
