Dragon Ball Z - I Leggendari Super Guerrieri is one of those early GBC fighting games that somehow makes tiny pixelated Goku look legitimately powerful. You pick from a handful of Z fighters (Vegeta’s my go-to, obviously) and mash through simple but surprisingly satisfying battles. The sprites are chunky, the special moves are basic ki blasts and melee combos, but there’s something charming about how it captures the DBZ vibe with so little to work with.

It’s in Italian, so if you don’t speak the language, you’ll be guessing at menus—but honestly, you don’t need much translation to figure out "Pugno" means punch. The controls are straightforward, though pulling off a Kamehameha on the Game Boy’s tiny buttons takes some practice. Not the deepest fighter, but a fun little time capsule if you’re into retro DBZ games.
