Attention Earthlings and Saiyans alike! Power up your podcasting devices to over 9000 because it’s time for another electrifying episode of Play Comics! Today we’re diving headfirst into the pixelated world of Dragon Ball Z Legendary Super Warriors on the Game Boy Color. Prepare for a journey through time space and nostalgic handheld gaming that’ll make your hair stand on end (and possibly turn golden).
Joining us on this epic quest is none other than our legendary recurring guest Karrington Martin from K&K Indie Gaming Corner. He’s back faster than you can say “Instant Transmission” ready to unleash his wealth of knowledge like a perfectly timed Spirit Bomb.
So grab your senzu beans, polish your dragon balls, and get ready to explore a game that squeezed the entire DBZ saga into a tiny cartridge. It’s time to go beyond the manga pages and into the realm of pocket-sized martial arts mayhem. Let’s see if this game is truly legendary or if it’ll leave us wishing for the dragon to grant us a better adaptation!
Learn such things as:
- Is Dragon Ball the most important anime/manga franchise in the history of anime/manga that we got in North America?
- How many different versions of the same character do you need in a game?
- Did the smaller number of available things in the past help to give us a more centralized zeitgeist, and if so is that a better situation than the overwhelming number of choices that we have today?
- And so much more!

This week we’re blasting off into outer space to take a look back at the classic PS1 fighting game Gundam Battle Assault. Released in North America in 2000, this game brought the action-packed combat of the popular Gundam anime franchise to PlayStation gamers.
Our special guest this episode is Karrington Martin from the fantastic K&K Indie Gaming Corner podcast. Karrington is a huge Gundam fan and will provide expert insight into the lore behind the game’s mobile suits and storylines. We’ll discuss how Gundam was a part of his life growing up and how the timing of the North American release made for some interesting thoughts.
From the slower than you’d expect paced arcade-style gameplay to the impressively animated sprite work, Gundam Battle Assault was a technical marvel on the PlayStation. We’ll analyze the combat mechanics, graphics, and modes that made it a classic among mech fighting games. And we’ll debate where it ranks among other Gundam games and mech fighters on the original PlayStation.
So power up your beam sabers and launch your verniers because we’re taking control of some epic Gundams today with our guest Karrington Martin! Strap in and enjoy this action-packed episode of Play Comics!
Learn such things as:
- Did any kids back then know about the heartbreak they were getting into?
- Does it matter if you don’t get the first game of a series?
- How can you mix together such a roster of characters who have little, if any, interaction in the source material?
- That Transformers Beast Wars episode that we talked about
- And so much more!
