We'e seen the TV ads, now it's time to take a look at the screenshots for Namco Bandai's Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyan title on the Nintendo DS. It's definitely not cel-shaded but somehow, it does give off that TV cartoon vibe, don't you think?

There were already a few signs hinting that Atari was having some trouble holding on to the Dragon Ball franchise. A couple of years ago, the publisher clashed with FUNimation over the game license. Namco Bandai announced last month that it had secured publishing rights to three new entries in the franchise. Today, Namco Bandai has announced that it's finishing what it started.

This here is a quick montage of the characters you'll be using and meeting in Namco Bandai's Dragon Ball release for DS, Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. The montage also happens to be a TV spot, so let's see if we come close to getting it.

XSEED's E3 2009 press release got buried in the mass of press releases we've seen over the past couple of weeks, but I just had to post it even if it's a bit late since it confirms US releases for two PSP games I've been watching out for. Full list after the jump.

Just out of the presswire, it looks like Namco Bandai won't be the only publisher with a four-game booth. At least, that's what the announcements have been telling us so far. But what makes this E3 special for Koei is that it'll be the first time for them to publicly debut new titles outside Japan. What those are, you'll find out after the jump.

Before the merge with Namco, Bandai has always been the publisher to watch when it came to Dragon Ball games. To this day, now as Namco Bandai, the publisher remains to be the world's Dragon Ball game provider, and that tradition continues with two more as Namco Bandai formally announces Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo and Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans.

When contractual obligations are not carried out according to stipulations agreed to by both parties, you can expect an ugly lawsuit to come next. What more if the agreement is not carried out at all? 3D Realms is about to find out the answer to that scenario as Take-Two Interactive files suit against what's left of the developer company for failing to deliver Duke Nukem Forever, via its parent company, Apogee.

Two years ago, Atari Europe was fortunately in the safe zone, despite the mother company's grim and disheartening financial report of Q2 2007. Back then, the problem was isolated only to the US offices, and the Atari branch was said to be unharmed by the restructuring overseas. Today, however, Atari Europe is no more, now having been officially acquired by Namco Bandai.

This week's batch is all about bashing stuff! From bashing plastic fighters in Rag Doll Kung Fu, bashing thugs in The Godfather II, and bashing whatever they did with Dragon Ball Evolution (oh the irony that they even called it "evolution"). But let's just dispense with the bashing for now and on to On Shelves This Week!

It was a tough week, alright, with the QJ team having to contend with a lot of fakers, a last-minute faking ourselves, and me personally now having to protect myself against some wicked magic of the black kind for leading people to believe that now is the best time to buy a Phantasy Star Portable - cos you know, news broke out that the PSP Brite has finally been hacked -- on April Fool's day. Yeah-huh, being fun sure is a lot of hard work. Thank goodness we've got juicy, exciting news from our friends in the gaming industry to balance it all out. And we've got them bundled up all nice and warm for you in ish #66 .
