Beverly, MA (March 22, 2005) - Atari today announced that Dragon Ball
Z: Sagas has shipped to retail outlets nationwide. Sagas is available for the
PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.
From Atari:
Dragon Ball Z: Sagas allows fans to play some of the most exciting aspects of
the popular animated series, from its origins in the Saiyan Saga through the
climactic Cell Games. Players will be able to explore huge levels, defeat boss
enemies, collect Dragon Balls, and journey through the DBZ universe, including
places never fully unveiled in the animated series. Sagas joins Atari’s lineup
of successful Dragon Ball Z games, which cumulatively have sold more than eight
million units* since the introduction of Atari’s first DBZ title in May 2002.
“Atari’s Dragon Ball Z games have succeeded because of their ability to
authentically capture the distinct characteristics and exciting action of the
series,” said Matt Collins, Director of Brand Marketing for Atari. “We are
thrilled to offer fans, especially those who may not have seen the very
beginning of DBZ, a new spin on the franchise by allowing players to journey
virtually anywhere in the DBZ universe, from the Saiyan Saga to the Cell Games.
With its intense action and expansive environments, Dragon Ball Z: Sagas gives
fans the DBZ adventure they’ve been waiting for.”
Featuring the greatest Z-Warriors, including Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo and
Gohan, Dragon Ball Z: Sagas spans six different story arcs that pit players
against such infamous DBZ boss enemies as Frieza, Cell, Nappa, Captain Ginyu,
and Raditz. With fully destructible environments, the ability to upgrade
characters’ superhero skills and a wide variety of exciting missions, Dragon
Ball Z: Sagas offers fans the most authentic interactive DBZ experience yet.
“This is an exciting time for Dragon Ball Z,” said Gen Fukunaga, president of
FUNimation Productions, Ltd. “The launch of DBZ Sagas gives fans their
first-ever DBZ action-adventure game and Atari has again done a great job
enhancing the interactive DBZ universe.”
In addition to Atari’s release of DBZ Sagas, FUNimation is launching the DBZ
Ultimate Uncut Special Editions in April, which gives fans their first chance to
see the beginning of Dragon Ball Z uncut and Cartoon Network is reintroducing
DBZ in May.
Rated ‘T’ for Teen, Dragon Ball Z: Sagas retails for a suggested 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
