Play Dragon Ball Z – Taiketsu Online
Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu is a 2D fighting game for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Webfoot Technologies and published by Atari in North America and Bandai in Europe. It has 15 fighters drawn from across the series, some unlocked by winning matches, and was one of the first American Dragon Ball Z games to include Broly. Each character has a projectile, three special attacks, and a transformation, all drawing on a super meter charged by holding buttons while standing still. Matches are usually ground-based, with an optional Sky Battle.

“` Two notes: there was no Japanese release, so that row is dropped, and Wikipedia gives the European date only as March 2004 while Giant Bomb specifies March 26. No scanned manual turned up, so the punch and kick assignments follow the standard GBA fighting-game layout; the charging behaviour in the L/R row is documented, but which button handles it is not.
