In Shenron no Nazo, Yamcha is renamed Lancer in Dragon Power, the edited American release of the game.
Yamcha is a playable character in the first Dragon Ball Z based game, Kyōshū! Saiyan.
In Shin Budokai, Yamcha plays a major role in Janemba's story as right when Janemba is about to wish for world domination, Yamcha bursts in and wishes for a fancy necklace for his girlfriend. After proclaiming he has saved the world, Yamcha runs off as Janemba chases him.
In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, there is tournament known as Yamcha Game. In this tournament, the player is not allowed to choose his own character and the final battle is against Yamcha himself.
In Raging Blast, there is a What-if story called "Yamcha's Resolve" where Yamcha faces Vegeta and beats him, trying to prove that he should be Bulma's lover. Future Trunks appears to stop Yamcha from changing history and making Trunks not exist, but Yamcha defeats Vegeta anyway. However, since Yamcha was a bit of a playboy according to the game, the future would not be altered anyway.
In Ultimate Tenkaichi, along with Krillin and Android 16, Yamcha is one of the starting masters in the Hero Mode. He is present if the player uses a Standard-type custom character.
In Xenoverse, in addition to appearing in the main story, he appears in the GT Pack 1 DLC as one of the Future Warrior's optional Masters. His Turtle School uniform also appears as a clothing option, the DLC outfit Yamcha's Clothes which he wore during his days as a desert bandit, and Yamcha's Sword appears as an accessory. His long hairstyle from the Saiyan Saga is also one of the Warrior's selectable hair options.
In Xenoverse 2, Yamcha appears once again as one of the optional masters for the Future Warrior. He sometimes appears on the Resort District/Kame Island in Conton City and gives the Future Warrior an optional side quest of having them collecting the turtle stones he'll throw (the stones can be found in random locations); after the player collects the stones, he will reward them with TP Medals (the number of TP Medals depend on how fast the player can obtain the turtle stones). It also to note that there are more turtle stones lying around than what the player is required to find.
In FighterZ, Yamcha's infamous demise is recreated in a Dramatic Finish should he lose to Nappa on the Rocky Field stage, with a Saibaman grabbing Yamcha and exploding, leaving the poor bandit in his iconic death pose while Nappa mocks him. However, a "revenge" variant exists should Yamcha beat Nappa, with the enraged Saiyan sending the suicide bomber Saibaman out. This time Yamcha reacts far quicker, sending the Saibaman back at Nappa and leaving the Saiyan in said death pose instead.
In Kakarot, Yamcha is a support character like his fellow Earthlings Krillin, Tien, and Chiaotzu. Interestingly, he does not have his Wolf Fang Fist or any of its variants as a Super Attack. However, he can utilize Super Attacks such as the Kamehameha, Spirit Ball, and can Taunt to cause enemies to target him.

==List of characters killed by Yamcha==
;Other Media
*Saibamen - In The Case of Being Reincarnated as Yamcha, Yamcha is the one to kill the Saibamen. (Since the original Saibamen was forced to self-destruct it could be said that Yamcha indirectly killed one of the Saibamen in the canonical timeline) 
*Nappa - In The Case of Being Reincarnated as Yamcha, Yamcha is the one to kill Nappa, finishing him with a Kamehameha.
==Trivia==
*His name is a play on "Yum cha" (literally "drink tea"), referring to a gathering to drink tea and eat dim sum.
*His blood type is O.Weekly Shōnen Jump, issue #37, 1986
*In Dragon Ball Forever poll of the Top 20 best characters, Yamcha was voted number 15 by Japanese fans. This is above Tien Shinhan, Bulma, and Yajirobe.
*Yamcha is the first Z-fighter to have ever fought Goku or have a slight edge over him in the series and is in fact Goku's first legitimate battle outside of his original home.
*In every World Martial Arts Tournament Yamcha has been in, he has always lost in a quarter-final match (in the 21st he was defeated by Jackie Chun, in the 22nd he lost to Tien, and in the 23rd he was defeated by Hero who was actually Kami).
*In the anime, Yamcha is the first Z Fighter seen with a full-time paying job. Yamcha can be seen playing for a baseball team called the "Taitans". "TAITAN" (タイタン) is the Japanese spelling of "Titan", which is also the name of .
*In "The Androids Appear", Android 19's scanner reads that Yamcha's address is NB: 8250012B, his height is 183 cm, his weight is 68 kg, special ability is the Rouga Whowhoken, and that he is a Class B warrior. These statistics are also used in Dragon Ball: Adventure Special.
**However, Dragon Ball Fusions seems to contradict his fighting class, as he is labeled as a C-Rank fighter in that game. However, the fighter Rank system (which are represented by G, S, A, B, and C with G-Rank being the highest and C-Rank the lowest) in Dragon Ball Fusions is likely different from the fighter Class system utilized by Android 19 and Dr. Gero as they utilize different terminology (Rank vs Class).
*Yamcha has his own theme song sung by his voice actor Tōru Furuya. It is titled Wolf Hurricane and sings about his desert life and loneliness. Furuya also sung Ookami, another song about Yamcha, that wasn’t used in Dragon Ball.
*Abel, the protagonist of the 1989 Dragon Quest OVA who was also designed by Akira Toriyama, also looks similar to Yamcha and even shares the same Japanese voice actor.
*Yamcha has been stated to be a good cook by Akira Toriyama.Chouzenshuu 1, 2013
*Yamcha's hobbies are grappling and baseball.Dragon Ball: Super Exciting Guide, 2009
*Yamcha's favorite food is hard-baked soba.
*Yamcha's favorite vehicle is the Mighty Mouse, his old-fashioned buggy.
*Despite his supposed retirement, Yamcha still trains, and has fought (or at least prepared to) on occasions, such moments include:
**Olibu and Gorilla - Yamcha fights the two at the same time and after defeating them in a sparring match, he states that his passion for fighting has resurfaced in 7 years.
**Kid Buu - He and Krillin were the last to still be on their feet, after all the other dead fighters were defeated and shot a ki blast at the Majin.
**Abo and Kado - While he never fought the two, though due to the chaos caused by Gotenks and Aka's fight, Yamcha jumped into action and used his Spirit Ball to destroy several large debris which nearly crushed Bulma, Puar, and Oolong. During that moment, it was revealed that he (as well as Krillin) was wearing his gi under his suit (much to Goku's surprise).
**Beerus - He and the others were seen preparing to face the God of Destruction after Goku was defeated and threatened to destroy the world.
**In the Universal Survival Saga (in the anime), Yamcha was very excited at the prospect of joining Team Universe 7 for the Tournament of Power - In the manga bonus panel, Yamcha is seen in his Team Universe 7 baseball uniform telling Puar that he has to train every now and then just in case of emergencies, remarking that it would look very bad if he couldn't assist the Z-Fighters.
**In FighterZ (which takes place in the Dragon Ball Super timeline) - Yamcha returns to action and assists Goku and co. against Android 21's clones, Frieza's faction, Cell, and the maniacal Android 21 herself.
**In the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Yamcha makes his official return in Super to help the Z-Fighters and Galactic Patrol fight/subdue Moro's subordinates.
*Yamcha is the only playable Z-Fighter in Xenoverse 2 which has a Supervillain form.
*There's a special dialogue between Yamcha and Turles, should they fight one-another - Yamcha will mention his vehicle being totaled, with the latter responding with ignorance of the situation. This is a reference to his vehicle being destroyed by Amond, one of Turles' henchmen in The Tree of Might.
*Yamcha breaks the fourth wall in "A Challenge From Champa! This Time, a Baseball Game!", by saying that he won't let Vegeta play as the main character, during the baseball match between Universe 6 and Universe 7.
*In Dragon Ball: Fusions, if Tekka talks to Yamcha at Master Roshi's residence, he'll admit that he is more of a "sea" person. This is somewhat ironic considering Yamcha's history as a desert bandit.
*In FighterZ story mode, Yamcha is the only character to not have any special interaction with Android 21 (he only mentions her to Krillin that she is cute, but 21 herself is nowhere around). Although he does have a pre-battle dialogue towards Android 21 in VS mode, where he expresses dismay to fighting a girl (which is ironic considering his fear).
**Xenoverse 2 corrected this and made a special dialogue for the both of them.
**On a similar note, in Bojack Unbound, Yamcha was seen briefly engaging Zangya in battle without any hindrances (unlike Krillin, whom was distracted by the latter's beauty).
**Yamcha is afraid of all women besides Bulma.Dragon Ball: Adventure Special, 1987
***However, in Kakarot he seemingly gotten over his fear of women at least by the time of the Attack of the Saiyans as a Sub Story features Puar pretending to be Yamcha while the latter is deceased following his death by Saibaman Bomb, to keep Yamcha's many girlfriends happy. Yamcha even tells Krillin the names of several girls that he wants Puar to focus on while he's gone. Additionally, by the time Yamcha is resurrected, he is dating two women Pearl and Sapphire in another sub story, which ends up with both women finding out about the other and both are so mad with Yamcha they send robots to attack him, forcing Gohan to intervene. After one of the robot's self-destructs, knocking Yamcha out temporarily, which causes the girls to both lose interest all in Yamcha, with the two women becoming friends. These sub stories all support Bulma's statements about Yamcha being unfaithful and depict Yamcha as sort of a womanizing casanova.
