Yet another DBZ game on the way

PS2 News | This one's called 'Super DBZ'.
The hordes of Dragon Ball Z fans that inhabit our forums will be glad to know that Atari has just announced another game based on the popular anime is currently in the works, titled Super DBZ. No, it's not for the Super Nintendo, but rather the PlayStation 2.

Interestingly, it will be a conventional 3D arcade fighting game. Development duties will be headed up by Crafts & Meister (the new studio of Noritaka Funamizu, a former producer for various Street Fighter games), with help from Bandai. Of course players will be able to choose from the usual DBZ suspects, like Goku, Vegeta and Gohan, with fighting taking place on the ground and in the air.

"Super DBZ takes the DBZ franchise into authentic arcade fighter territory,” claimed Cyril Voiron, Marketing Director, Atari Europe. “This is something new and different for the DBZ series and will mesmerize gamers with its intense gameplay and technical combo systems. Bandai are working with an excellent new studio to develop this impressive title, and Crafts & Meister’s hand-to-hand combat pedigree radiates throughout Super DBZ.”

The game has a tentative mid-year release date. If you click the 'View All Media' link underneath this text, you'll be taken to the game's first screenshots. More as we get it.

Hopefully this one will be a bit deeper than the others - especially given its pedigree

'hordes'? Oh, well at least there's me. icon_biggrin.gif Looks interesting, but looks very much like the Budokai series, side on fighting. I've gotten a bit tired of this, so I hope it's different, otherwise I probably won't get it. Still, always nice to see another DBZ game in the works, good to know that the series isn't dead, which is great! icon_biggrin.gif Then again, if the game is bad it makes the series look bad, but it can't be helped..

Interesting. If it's anything like Soul Calibur, where it's fast paced, and very deep, then I'm all for it.
