Atari announces forthcoming Release of Bandai'S Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 for Nintendo Ds
Company: Atari
Date: 07 Sep 2005
LYON, FRANCE – 1 September 2005 – Atari today announced the forthcoming release of Bandai's Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 for Nintendo DSTM. The sequel to last year's top-selling Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance TM, Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 is the first game from the franchise to be released for Nintendo's new handheld video game system and takes the interactive Dragon Ball fighting experience to new heights of handheld gameplay.
With advanced graphics making use of 3D polygon effects and the two screen functionality of the Nintendo DSTM, Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 uses the power of the new hardware to great effect to create the ultimate evolution of the flying battle. Packed with an enhanced battle system, original moves, new characters, massively powered up team battles, hidden content, wireless multiplayer functionality, and expanded story mode with branching storylines, the game packs a mean punch sure to invigorate fans of the franchise and Nintendo DS owners who want a fight worthy of their skills and the console.
"Dragon Ball is such a successful franchise that it was a matter of only a very short amount of time before owners of the Nintendo DS were lucky enough to get a piece of the high-flying action," said Cyril Voiron, Marketing Director, Atari Europe. "Nintendo's brilliant handheld opens up so many gameplay possibilities which have already made developers and publishers look differently at how games can be played. With Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 more of these possibilities are explored, and to great effect."
The two screens come into play during combination moves where adversaries can be sent hurtling the full length of both screens to their demise, and also during a Special Attack cut-in when the lower screen displays the top image as seen through a scouter, faithfully recreating a popular effect recognized by fans of the series. Wireless multiplayer gameplay allows two Nintendo DS owners to go head-to-head for one of the most central and exhilarating aspects of any Dragon Ball fighting game.
Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 for Nintendo DS is scheduled to for release across Europe in Q1 2006.
