I just got this announcement from Atari, which pretty much says that Dragon Ball Z has a game coming to the Xbox 360 this year. Personally, I have never really been a fan of the genre – Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, etc. but either way it seems to have a huge following, so a game isn’t really all that surprising. Here are the facts straight from the press release…

Dragon Ball Z^®: Burst Limit is in development for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Exploding into the next level of intensity with next-gen graphics, online gameplay and lightning fast action, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is being developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. and is slated for a 2008 release.

Dragon Ball Z^: Burst Limit is revolutionizing the series by entering the realm of next-generation gaming. Complete with fierce online battles and radical 3D graphic effects only possible on Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit will blur the line between video game and iconic anime series. Jam-packed with graphically enhanced playable characters, realistic battle stages and environments, players can take hold and experience Dragon Ball Z® as never before.

“Atari is excited and ready to offer fans the next iteration of the Dragon Ball Z video game series on the next-gen consoles,” said Donny Clay, Producer, Atari, Inc. “With explosive cinematic graphics and online gameplay, fans of the series and of the fighting genre will surely enjoy Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit.”

Anyone interested in a Dragon Ball game, and, anyone interested to see how many times we day “Dragon Ball Z” in this post… I don’t think we want to know
