100% agree. SSW1 on gba and Butouden 3 (guilty pleasure lol) are the oldschool DBZ games I return to the most.
Super Sonic Warriors 2 on DS is great and definitely worth checking out if you’ve never given it a shot. It has a much larger roster, deeper combat, transformations, support characters, and way more modes to enjoy.
However, it also made enough changes to the mechanics of the game that make the overall combat feel a little slower than it’s predecessor. The fighting in SSW1 just feels faster and more frenetic, so I always tend to return to the original rather than the sequel as a personal preference. Let me know what you think if you check it out.
Extreme Butouden was badass (especially since that’s the first time I recall being able to play as SSGSS/Blue in a vs game). It was fun despite being completely busted, though these days it feels like an interesting prototype for DB FighterZ lol
