Games Based on the Direct Works of Akira Toriyama

Numerous electronic, video, and board games based on the works of Akira Toriyama have been released in Japan by various developers across different platforms. Though initially producted in conjunction with Epoch, the majority of these games were historically developed or published by Bandai (currently "Bandai Namco Entertainment"), a relationship that continues to this day.

While some of the earlier games were localized and released to the European market, this was not the case in North America. Up until the release of Dragon Ball: Final Bout in 1997 for the Sony PlayStation, none of the Dragon Ball games were localized for the North American market, with the exception of Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong which was released under the title "Dragon Power" and graphically altered with no specific branding for the franchise.

In the modern era, most mainline video games are produced with an international market in mind, though certain products — namely those for the mobile market, and particularly in areas like China — may occasionally be region-restricted.

General

Akira Toriyama does not write the stories, character dialog, etc. in the Dragon Quest video games or any of their supplemental media. Rather, Toriyama was historically responsible for character designs of main characters and villains within the Dragon Quest video games, some of which he first received as rough concepts/designs from game series creator Yūji Horii himself.

-A video game console is a modified computer system that is used in conjunction with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display the video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed specifically for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games in the comfort of their own homes, as opposed to arcade machines, which are designed for businesses so that they can charge a fee for customers to play. Listed below are all ''Dragon Ball''-related console video games.

-A handheld game console is a lightweight, portable electronic device with a built-in screen, games controls and speakers. Handheld game consoles are run on machines of small size allowing people to carry them and play them at any time or place. Unlike video game consoles, the controls, screen and speakers are all part of a single unit. Listed below are all ''Dragon Ball''-related handheld video games.

-==Arcade Games==
+=Dragon Quest=
-An arcade video game is a cabinet that houses a game's circuit board, built-in screen, game controls, and speakers. Unlike console games, which utilize cartridges and discs to play multiple games, an arcade game plays only the one game that is stored on the circuit board. The arcade cabinet is quite heavy, making it hard to move, and a user must typically pay each time they want to play the arcade game. Listed below are all ''Dragon Ball''-related video games.
