When I was little I remember staring at the box art for the 1st budokai and trying to figure out why it was different than other pictures and media. It has a softness to the drawing. And the second game again I was figuring out it was sharper and had a holographic foil look to it, shiny and sharp. Super saiyan against freeza is soft blonde hair. After that it becomes more spiked edges and shiny with electric effects. They captured that with the box art

Although its kinda pointless unless you compare the different versions. The US often got generic "action" boxart even back then, compared to the original JP ones (we mostly got those in Europe too for PAL releases)

It's been 20 years since Dragon Ball Z Budokai originally released back in December 3, 2002 on the PS2. I remember when my young brother and I were excited to play Dragon Ball Z Budokai when we were kids at that time in the early 2000s. The 3d graphics of the Dragon Ball characters were awesome, the story from the Saiyan Saga through Cell Saga was phenomenally amazing to relive the Dragon Ball Z storyline, the World tournament mode and the duel mode was amazingly fun. I had a great time playing Dragon Ball Z games during my late childhood through my adulthood years.

I’d say 1 is my favorite, I loved the alternate timeline type missions…like if vegeta became a SS when he first ever fought Goku, or when Cell absorbs Krillin and becomes an orange version of The baby cells. God I loved Budokai so much.

I loved all of these but Bukokai 2 has some great memories, me and my bro would co-op the story mode and take turns with each character on the map!

"So a puny Saiyan is it?! You, mock me?!?" *Blows hole through zarbon.* That animation is more cemented in my memory than the original.

I remember playing Budokai 3 religiously. I have no recollection of how difficult it was, but I remember thinking, as a kid, it was damn near impossible to unlock SS4 Gogeta (one of my favorites) and I was the happiest kid in the world when I finally got him.

My favorite now is for sure Infinite World which I’ve always seen as Budokai 4, but I love the trilogy. 1 had a great story, 3 had great mechanics and 2 was really charming.

I used to have all these games growing up and I ended up selling them for games I don't even remember. This brought me back. Great video!

The Budokai games hold such a very special place in my heart. Budokai 3 in particular, probably has my favorite fighting game roster, not to mention the best anime game opening of all time (the international version with lyrics, obviously)

those opening videos were the best - budokai 2 I bought on a whim and it literally rejuvenated my love for anime and I've never looked back

Great trip down memory lane. Thank you.

One of my fondest memories is my dear mother walking into our local game store and telling the clerk "I'd like the Dragon Booty Call" please.

The budokai 2 dragon world was literally the most fun thing ever! So excited for budokai Tenkaichi 4. So fun to revisit these game of my childhood

It's worth noting that part of the reason Tenkaichi 3 is so expensive now is because it never got a second printing like a lot of other DBZ games. The publisher lost the license basically right after the game came out, so the first run of copies were the only ones ever made.

I was NOT ready for that intro when I clicked this video! the nostalgia slapped me right across the heart

this is the video i was waiting for! Still get some childhood friends together most weekends and we play these and Mario Kart Double Dash all night. Great times

Was anticipating what you'll say about Budokai 2, warm the heart to hear such praise, that was the biz for me, so many hours spent on that game, prob still my fav DBZ game to date.

After Ultimate Battle 22 and GT Final Bout these were so much better. love all of these. Budokai 1 was a game changer. I actually did like 2 as well but 3 was my favorite. Sucks HD versions didn't have 2. Then Budokai Tenkaichi was insane with the roster

These games were everything to me when I was a kid. The tenkaichi series never hit me like the budokai series. Budokai 1 was good and 2 was awesome with the what if fusions. Budokai 3 was just the best. I sunk so many hours into 3 and I loved it. I wish they would make a game like budokai but with dragon ball heroes story line.

Budokai was a blast, and the first fighting game I was obsessed with. It is so good.

maaaaaan matty, you hit the nail on the head with the dbzb2 dragon world take and that snow map song. absolute freakin banger.

Love the chill GT/z them in the background

Happy Friday to you too bro! Thank you for an awesome episode! 👍🏻

Love your videos man, some good stuff! Just found your channel too. it's great going back to and reminiscing about all the classics we grew up with in the ps2 era. Keep up the great work man!

Going through life rn but your videos are helping me through in some type of way

I remember getting Budokai 2 for xmas the year it came out, i was 5 or 6 years old and it was one of the last gifts I opened and it just seemed like Santa i mean my parents saved the best for last and like you said Matty about the shiny cover, i was just in awe unwrapping it and then on top of that my parents also got me a dragon ball with it. Then when Budokai 3 was coming out, I remember my grandpa took me to Gamestop to pre order it and to this day i still have the behind the scenes/making of disc it came with. Thanks for the video Matty and the massive wave of nostalgia i got from it. Earlier this summer I met Chris and Sean at Fan Expo and it was just a dream come true i was literally speechless meeting them. I got up to Sean and just said "Hi. Sean." and reached to shake his hand and Sean goes "Oh your name is Sean to?" and i replied "No you're Sean I'm Joe. Sorry i don't know what to say you're like my hero". Worth it

Love your retro content! my last Dragonball was tenkaichi 2 💖

almost 27 now, i was a kid when Budokai 1 came out, spent countless hours on it, amazing childhood memories will always be one of my favourite games

For the Budokai 2 Snow Level - My head-canon is that since the earth dragon balls never “disappeared” Frieza just came straight to Earth

Budokai 2 was my first every introduction to the dragon ball universe I had never heard of it before then and after I played this game I fell in love with dragon ball and it now my favorite anime and one of my favorite things of all time

To this day Shin boudikai another road is one of my favorite psp games. Just the fact it's strait up boudakai on ps2. I desperately want there to be collections of these, boudakai tenkaich, legacy of goku and may others just so they are available on modern consoles.

Love for budokai 2 is very rare, glad to see somebody other than myself say good things about it.

This video brings me back!!!

I used to grind TF out of the first Budokai game. Mannn childhood memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters - Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down) - Fusions mid-battle - Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel - Tons of extra content - Story mode covering all sagas + movies - What If sagas - Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot) - Great tournaments that rotate availability - Edit characters with items (buffs) - 5v5 battles - Really Great and Epic Soundtracks - Destroyable environments - Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives - Mission 100 being a great challenge - Artwork is 10/10 - Sound effects are great - Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World and the Raging Blast 1 and 2 are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective. ✌☯️

Excited for all the dbz vids. Budokai tencaichi 3 was my fav

I didnt watch the video before commenting this but it looks like a good place to share my passion with Budokai 3. This was back when blockbuster was still a thing, i loved the first two but 3 absolutely captivated me. Even though Dragon Rush was an incredibly frustrating mechanic vs cpu (i broke a controller fighting perfect cell) there was SO much content the story modes to unlock and explore, and the replay value was great with how you could spec and level characters. When you beat the story with all characters you unlock Dragon Arena which was SO FUN. I mained android 17 all dayyyy

I'm so glad Matty love Budokai 2 as his favourite it was also my favourite and will always be one of my favourite games of all time. The board game was so awesome a lot of cool strategies. I'll never forget fighting kid buu I had to much frustration on that board game. He was hard.

These games were on rotation with NCAAFB, GTA3, and Yugioh games, and that was the bulk of my early 2000s gaming. Still remember how I felt the first time playing Budokai. Having been a fan of DragonBall Z since they were airing episodes on Fox in the 90s, it was a childhood dream come true.

Still feel like Budokai three is one of the best DBZ experiences you can get in video games for nothing else than the ability to have beam struggles. Some of the most iconic moments from the series center around those energy clashes and so few of the games actually put that mechanic in.

How can you forget these games;; my whole childhood right here🥹🥹

I remember getting dbz budokai 2 when it came out i begged my mom to take me to eb games and pick it up for 50$ back when games were 50$ new lol so many good memories and I remember going Christmas shopping with my mom and seeing budokai 3 wrapped up in a plastic bag knowing ill have to wait a month until Christmas to play it. I'm 29 and sadly I lost my mom in 2021 and my dad in 2022 a year and 3 days apart from each other. On his way home from work he'd stop and buy me a game and hide it somewhere in the house and make me hunt for it lol. Always remember the good times and the small things one day you'll miss them and its going to hurt more than you can imagine

The year was 2016, 14 year old me went to the king’s day garage sale, my friend and neighbor sold some of his PS2 games. I was curious and looked through his games, two of them peaked my interest. These of course were Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 and 3. I grew up as a Nintendo kid, and while my brother really wanted the console DBZ games for GameCube and Wii, we only had Legacy of Goku on GBA as well as Supersonic Warriors 2 on DS (eventually when we got our first PlayStation, the PS4, we got Xenoverse as well). As a DBZ fan, I just knew I had to find a PS2 THAT DAY. So I scoured the entire area for a PS2, and I did! I found a PS2 Phat, 1 DS2 controller, 1 Third Party controller (Big Ben), the Memory Card, Component Cables, Power Cord, a Remote Control, and she even threw in GTA San Andreas as a bonus, FOR ONLY €20 euros! I then proceeded to purchase Budokai 2 and 3 for €5,- total (got me a discount because I was his friend). I got home, booted up Budokai 2, it won’t load past the Language select screen… Budokai 3 however worked like a charm, WOW, I FREAKING LOVED THAT GAME. And thus my PS2 Collection began, with Dragon Ball Z to kick it off.

Been playing these gems since I was 5 these games & the tenkaiechi series defined my childhood 🔥

I loved the board game aspect omg I remember that! So fun almost forgot

These were the Exact Games that made Me a Dragon Ball fan as a kid. I didn't have access to DBZ as a kid but I had Budokai 1/2/3 for ps2 and even in Video Game Form Vegeta and Piccolo were my favorite characters.

I remember I used to turn the tv down all the way to Play Budokai 3 super early in the morning before going to school, around elementary. I was so hooked on the game, it wasn't even mine, but when I had to move out of town, my friend knew I loved the game so much he gave me the very same copy I own to this day!

Budokai 1 also came with a poster of SSJ Goku that had a short bio and special move combo for each character with their 3D sprite on the backside.

Budokai 1 is great for the nostalgic cutscenes and story 2 is great for the co op board game story 3 is the best overall experience when it comes to the roster, and gameplay.

Loved the Budokai series. The fact it was releasing around the same time as the release of the series in the western market was what made it even more special. I remember PLAY Magazine released a save file where every character had breakthrough unlocked. My copy ot budokai 3 is still in the loft (attic) along with my ps2.

I remember playing these all so much as a kid haha. Especially loved the second game. Also could you make a video on your game collection matty?

Im so happy i subscribed

DUDE NICE! My favorite is budokai 2 aswell that’s the one I played the most

CLASSICS MATTY!!!!

Used to love these as a kid.

some things I always appreciated from Budokai 1, were the Kaioken transformation having different levels, 2x, 5x, 10x, which is often nowadays just "kaioken", and cell's power-weighted (super buff form) he used against gohan out of desperation, something i havent seen in any other DBZ game (although sadly you dont go super buff when using cell in any other game mode, it's just the AI in story, but, just the fact that he's there really)

awesome video, also i can't wait for you to talk about the Xenoverse games

Budokai 1 is still my favorite: Best story mode, Legend of Hercule, no annyoing gimmicks like Dragon Rush, & overall just a really solid game. (Gamecube version also looks really good with the cel shading)

My dad used to take me to Fry's electronics and my cousin and I would play this on the huge TV. I begged my family to get me a PS2 for my Elementary School Graduation and they got it for me along with this game. LEGENDARY SERIES!!!

I definitely grew up with Budokai 1 the most out of the games in this video. I loved the cutscene presentation, the unlockables, the what-ifs mode, and it was just an overall fun time that I still find myself coming back to for the occasional nostalgia trip. I will say that the final fight against Perfect Cell's powered up form was and still is one of the most ruthless fights I've seen in a fighter. But on the reverse end, playing the tournament mode as soon as I unlocked one capsule absolutely broke matches. At the time, it was with Vegeta's Final Flash move. As soon as I got a capsule equipped that set power to Max at the cost of not transforming, I could just spam that move all I wanted, and it'd win me every single one of them. I was honestly kind of surprised to hear Budokai 2 as endorsed as it was. I played that game one day as a kid and just couldn't get into it. It was nice that it had the added characters, but I also played Budokai Tenkaichi 3 beforehand, so that much didn't matter. What did matter to me at the time, however, was the presentation. And it just felt lazy. I'm not sure if it was Dragon World mode I played or something else, but I just wasn't having a good time with it. I can't remember if I was renting it at the time or had actually purchased a used copy, but I returned it back ASAP. It was funny when I found the HD collection later on and saw that Budokai 2 wasn't included and just thought "Well duh, it's barely a game". But I might try it again and see if maybe I've just been treating it too harshly all these years. Budokai 3 I wouldn't play until years later. Just never got around to getting a copy at the time, but I knew people deeply praised it for the added fighting mechanics. When I finally played it.. I think the overworld map and leveling were actually detrimental to my experience. The map was just too tedious to get through, and the leveling I felt just complicated things. While the fighting was nice, it was just so weird that I wanted to play something else. And, of course, those cutscenes were just not great. Infinite World I played with a friend as a kid. And if I thought Budokai 2 was bad, I just did *not* like Infinite World. I'm not sure what it was beyond the mini-games, but neither of us were getting into it and we both dropped it pretty quickly. I have not yet played the PSP games, though I'd like to. And I had no interest in the HD collection upon seeing it years back, and I really don't have any interest now. If I already have 1 & 3, why would I pick up a version with censored blood?

I got a playstation 2 around 2002 and I really wanted dragon ball Z budokai... I opened up my present form my mum on Christmas day and it was dragon ball GT final bout on the ps1 I just smiled and said thank you even now she doesn't know she got me the wrong game all these years later

That b2 cover is unmatched today

Budokai 3 is my favorite of the series and my all time favorite DB game alongside Kakarot. Back then I was more into 2D fighting games than 3D ones and I didn't liked Tenkaichi that much. I even downloaded some modded PS2 version of the game where they had like super saiyan 6 or something from those Dragon Ball fanfics. I also remember my cousin rotating the analogue stick so hard that his skin peeled off during beam clashes and he was forbidden from playing because of it lol. Those were the days.

Perfect timing, after I finish up nba street vols 1-3 i was going to play this series next!!

@@jessegarciaiv5380 I loved nfl street too. Wish they brought back the street games.

When budokai first came out, it had also came with a poster with all the characters in the lovingly beautiful animation that the game is known for. I had that poster on my wall for years, till i ended up taking it down and had lost it after so many years. If there was a way to find it again i would most definitely purchase it and hang it back up.

Back then the only way to find out about these games at least for me was through game informer with GameStop I love getting off the school bus and going straight to the mailbox at our apartment complex and boom there it is!!!!

I love the Budokai series. They were my favorite fighting games, especially Budokai 3. My brother and I played the hell out of it, but I only managed to beat him once (as SS4 Gogeta).

I played the first budokai game in the mall during Christmas time...they had a little set up and I dragged my mom over so she can see what I wanted and 3 weeks later I was the happiest kid ever

I love Retro Rebound!!!

“The overworld in budokai 3 doesn’t have any secrets” My brother in Christ have you played that game? All the coolest moments are secrets buried in the overworld
