There were already a few signs hinting that Atari was having some trouble holding on to the Dragon Ball franchise. A couple of years ago, the publisher clashed with FUNimation over the game license. Namco Bandai announced last month that it had secured publishing rights to three new entries in the franchise. Today, Namco Bandai has announced that it's finishing what it started. Starting in January 2010, they will be publishing Dragon Ball games on all major consoles and handhelds in North America. The publishing deal made with rights-holders Toei and FUNimation will run for five years. This is a pretty big blow for Atari and a big coup for Namco Bandai. In fiscal 2008, about half of Atari's sales came from Dragon Ball games. You know, if you consider the earlier acquisition or Atari Europe, it kinda feels like Namco Bandai is taking over Atari piece by piece. Related articles: |

» you suck.
Staight up Atari did the very best with the franchise to date. Their various iterations of the budokai series have not been beaten.

» actually... no.
Straight up Atari actually did nothing but PUBLISH those games in some countries.
Bandai Namco published on Japan and some European countries, and Atari did North America, Australia and some others.
The Budokai series were actually developed by Dimps and the Budokai Tenkaichi were developed by Spike.
Atari only published without Bandai or Banpresto - SAGAS (PS2), Legacy of Goku series (GBA), DBGT Transformation (GBA). Of which only Legacy of Goku had a minimum standard of decent gameplay. So, Atari does suck.
Check your info before rants.
