The Dragon Ball Video Game Preservation Problem | EXP Share

Awesome video man , I own almost all the dragon ball games including Japanese exclusives so I really agree with your vids here . I do want to add one small part . In a very rare occurrence , preorders of extreme butoden received a digital version of super butoden 2 with also an altered ost because of the Yamamoto scandal .

Surprisingly great video from such a small and budding channel! I probably fit best into the first group of older fans but being from Canada our dragon ball viewing experience wasa bit trying. the channel we watched it on (YTV) was terrible at buying new episodes, so they would get to a certain episode and then just start over. I dont know how many times we got to the start of the cell games and a few episodes before gohan went ss2, blam, right back to radditz. I was almost finished highschool before i finally watched it all 😅. As for the games, in the early 2000s because of dragon ball, i got very into emulation so i could play the dragon ball fighting games from the super famicom, and i learned a lot about computers and emulation getting them to run, and installing crude english patches on games like legend of the super saiyan. Anyways great video! It was fun hearing someone's life experience with dragon ball from the beginning and even sharing some similar experiences, as i played all of the budokai games but completely passed over the tenkaichi games until muuuuch later. Also fusions is awesome! Im so glad i bought it early 😅. Keep up the great work and i hope your channel grows into something special!

I played attack of the saiyans and its such a crime it didn't get a sequel and I really wish we got more of that style of game

Awesome job!

I’m so glad that I never sold any of my PS2 DBZ Gamez to GameStop like I did other games, especially Tenkaichi 3, the fact it goes for damn near $200 on eBay is crazy. If it wasn’t for the game still holding up, I’d definitely tried to sell mine on EBay considering I still have the Box and instruction manual. SN: Tenkaichi 2 to me is better than 3. Yeah 3 had the larger roster, faster gameplay and added the Blast combos (the best edition imo) but besides that was kinda a step back with the story mode (although I did like the dialogue during the battles), and the OST wasn’t as great as BT2. I do hope Sparking Zero takes the story mode and OST from 2 and the combos, in game dialogue from BT3

We NEED a Fusions 2! I still play it to this day and just introduced it to my little brother

I want Dragon Ball Online to be genuinely re-released, or get a sequel series that picks up after Xenoverse 2.

I started watching DBZ the year Toonami was re-airing the show uncut. I'm having trouble figuring out what year that was, but I'm guessing it was around 2005. I played the games before I ever got to watch the anime.

Hello

Wow i never bothered to hear any of the “replaced” tracks.. lol original tracks are rocking and the newer ones are def meh and dont hit the same

This new wave of game preservation bullshit is nonsense. People have been working on emulation for decades and almost any game you can think of is available in rom form online. What people are really begging for is another chance to consume again on another format that will probably be obselete in the future yet again. People HAVE preserved these games. Dont act like that isnt true just cause you wanna be charged money for them

Nice work but really, can you US fans stop being so American-centric ? So annoying. I mean, Dragon Ball had a entire life before it aired in the US in the 2000s. In France, we had the chance to watch it starting 1988 and there is some really important video games that helped to raise popularity of the show in Japan and Europe latin countries. Games like Super Butoden series on Super Famicom/SNES, Buyuu Retsuden on Sega Genesis, or even the OG Dragon Ball game on NES (and i don't talk about the numerous RPG entries or the first CD based DBZ Game on PC Engine that came only in Japan). I know these games weren't released in the US, but they EXIST. They're accessible via emulation and they're involved in this video game preservation problem.
