Namco Bandai has announced that its secured exclusive North American rights to publish all future Dragon Ball titles “across all major consoles and handhelds” for the next five years, beginning in January 2010.

Along with this, Namco Bandai has secured the right to initially publish three Dragon Ball titles in 2009, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo exclusively for Wii, and Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans exclusively for Nintendo DS.

“We are very excited to have signed this long term agreement with Toei Animation Co., Ltd and FUNimation Entertainment, which grants Namco Bandai Games North American multi-platform rights to the testosterone-driven, action-packed world of Dragon Ball,”said Makoto Iwai, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Namco Bandai Games America Inc..

“This move reunites Namco Bandai Games with the Dragon Ball series in North America which will considerably increase our ability to develop titles that perfectly capture every nuance of what makes the Dragon Ball world exciting to the consumer.”

Normally, Dragon Ball games have a generic fighting system and they do not seem to differ with their predecessors. But, that looks like if it’s all about to change on the DS, once again.

Following in the same steps as Dragon Ball: Origins, a Dragon Ball game for the DS (not Dragon Ball Z), Namco Bandai have revealed, in the pages of Shonen Jump, the return of Goku on to the DS.

Dragon Ball Z Story: Saiyajin Raishû, as it called in Japan, is a RPG which you meet all known heroes from the Dragon Ball Z seires – Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krilin, and Yamcha.

Anyway, even if the scenario has not yet been official announced, we know however that it opens in a martial arts tournament. And judging by the artwork, first revealed by the Japanese magazine, it will be held during the first of the serie. Release scheduled is for next spring in Japan.

In a member Q&A over at the Hokage’s Room one of the members asked if there was going to be trophies in  Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, one of the devs for the game answered and said, “…we wont have the Trophy function in the game, but the in-game volume will for sure be a lot to do in place of it!”. The dev also so revealed that the downloadable content for the game “For the DLC, we’re planning on giving you exactly what you asked for; some of them are compelling missions and awesome support characters that you can freely unleash as you wish.”

The dev also hinted at a second game “…all I can say now is, enjoy STORM 1 and maybe, just maybe, we’ll give good news to our fans who is sure to get a blast from this game.”

Japanese Software Charts have revealed that Dragonball Z: Burst Limit has sold 92,000 copy’s in Japan alone,  after making it’s international debut on June 5. Which in this case means that that game will be joining games like Yakuza 3 KENZAN! has an unexpected best seller in Japan.

1. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3) – 92,000

2. Shiren 3: Karakuri Yashiki (Wii) – 59,000

3. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Portable 3 (PSP) – 43,000
