Atari, Inc. today announced that development is complete on Dragon Ball Z : Sagas , the first Dragon Ball Z action game for console systems, which will be available March 22 for PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo GameCube , and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Since its introduction, the Dragon Ball Z video game franchise has sold through more than eight million units* in the U.S., and the TV series is consistently ranked as one of the top-rated shows on Cartoon Network's Toonami Block. The release of Sagas coincides with FUNimation Productions' re-release of the first 67 episodes of Dragon Ball Z on home video.
"We are excited to deliver Dragon Ball Z : Sagas because it represents many 'firsts' for the franchise" said Matt Collins, Director of Brand Marketing for Atari. "It's the brand's first action-adventure game, first multi-platform launch, and the first DBZ title for the Xbox. Most of all, though, we are thrilled to give consumers something they have wanted for some time: a DBZ action game that allows players to go just about anywhere in the DBZ world."
Developed by Avalanche Software, Dragon Ball Z : Sagas offers fans and newcomers alike the opportunity to explore destructible DBZ environments and use their superhero abilities to complete exciting missions based on the first-half of the animated series -- from the Saiyan Saga through the Cell Games. The game is packed with exciting features. It includes several gameplay modes, including multi-player co-op, exciting missions that are based on never-before-seen aspects of the animated series, a host of playable characters such as Goku , Piccolo , and Vegeta , and a lineup of infamous bosses including Frieza , Cell and Raditz .
Rated 'T' for Teen, Dragon Ball Z : Sagas will ship on March 22 for a suggested retail price of $49.99 on PlayStation 2 and Xbox and $39.99 on Nintendo GameCube. All three versions should be available for purchase at retail stores on March 25. For more information, please visit atari.com/dragonballz.
