A Dragon Ball Final Bout 3D versus fighter with classic characters. First DBZ in 3D, limited animations, stiff gameplay. A curious historical reference for fans, soon eclipsed by the much more polished later PS2 Budokai.

Dragon Ball - Final Bout (PS1) price, value & rarity
Original Japanese edition of Dragon Ball Final Bout, released months ahead of the PAL versions and the only printing with the NTSC-J spine card. As the franchise's first 3D entry and the source release, it is the most sought of all variants: loose copies command clearly higher prices than in Europe and sealed stock peaks. Demand comes from Japanese Dragon Ball collectors as much as overseas completists.
