Namco Bandai completes purchase of Atari's PAL distribution

Well i know that Atari had given us great games in the past, but quite frankly i think it's about time that Namco/Bandai take over the rights of the DB games. Who knows maybe will get more of what we would like to see, in the future of DB games now.

burst limit was a lot of fun but it lacked characters and levels. what was there was golden, but there just wasn't enough content. the pace was fast, the fighting was fun and stylistic of DBZ, and the characters were well represented. However, the story mode was really thin and for those who didnt know the story already, they would've had a difficult time getting it from the game. this game though looks amazing, raging blast, it looks like it will take parts of both BL and the old budokai tenchaichi games, (idk how to spell lol). I hope they keep the pace of BL, plus the simplicity and responsiveness of the controls. I hope the camera is better than in Budokai 3, cause its taking that same angle, from behind your fighter. THe only reason i dont like that is because in 2p mode, it goes split screen when it really shouldnt. But otherwise its cool. And the destructable environments are fantastic, thats a huge part of DBZ. i just hope they go from saiyan saga all the way to the end of Z, maybe even include gt? like i said, BL was lacking in content. I want more characters, more level, more story. i hope this game delivers.

more takeovers in the gaming industry..... ^ ^

DBZ!!! WOOHOOO!!!

Gold time for Namco Bandai seems... poor atari.. seems he cant play well with the big guns with next generation consoles... a shame because Burst limit was really good...

I feel bad for atari.

I know it most likely won't but it would be cool if this got us GhostBusters early than Oct 31st, but like i said i don't think it will.

That's a real shame. Hopefully, Atari won't go bust. Maybe someone will pick them up.

awww, poor Atari....

Not another one...

Has anyone seen the screens for this new game? They look great, lets hope the fighting engine will be fast and up to date.

@ corkyhookahking After games such as Budokai and Burst Limit, Final Bout was a terrible fighter....

ITT: America is butthurt. BAAAAWWWW. Get over it and get ready to import, at least the DS and PSP are region-unlocked.

i think this rocks at least Namco Bandai owning the rights to dragonball franchise which i'm excited for cause the made dragonball gt final bout which was amazing

basicly what Balo_the_gamer said

Wtf? No NA???

I think PAL is the European standard, which is why this deal only affects them for now.

Why not NA? T__T

not including NA and Japan, why wtf
