Games from the 16-bit and 32-bit eras were localized and released in France, Spain, Portugal, and other European countries due of the strong following the series already had in those countries. ĭragon Ball games have been primarily released in Japan since 1986, with the majority of them being produced by Bandai. Toriyama himself personally designed some of the video game original characters, such as Android 21 for Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mira and Towa for Dragon Ball Online, and Bonyū for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
The games are of various genres, most prominently fighting games, role-playing games, and platform games, all featuring a varying roster of characters as depicted in the original series. From 1990, these games were released under the Dragon Ball Z banner, after the second anime television series. The Dragon Ball video games are based on the manga series of the same name created by Akira Toriyama.
