That’s it, as far as mainline games are concerned, although there were also a few spinoffs: Tenkaichi Tag Team, a 2010 PlayStation Portable title; Ultimate Tenkaichi, a 2011 PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game that messed with the gameplay formula somewhat; and the unlikely Dragon Ball Z For Kinect from 2012.
