Perhaps in different shapes and sizes but yes, each of the devs working on the game has some love for either the manga, anime or the video games of Dragon Ball and Z ! I noticed there are far fewer characters than the typical DBZ title – was this intentional? I take it you guys are all Dragonball fans? We caught up with Balthazar from Team Z2, the group behind the unbelievably high-quality Hyper Dragonball Z.

Fan games are unfortunately often the victims of takedown requests by more litigious companies, with the Metroid project AMR2 being the most well-known recent example.However, because of the immense effort decent fan games require, I would argue that they represent the absolute passions of developers rather than any challenge to the existing franchise.
