Goku and the gang had a good run at Atari, but they're now back in the hands of their original Japanese master, Namco Bandai. The five-year publishing rights deal struck between the two companies will begin immediately starting 2010, excluding three games that Namco Bandai will be handling this year. They include:
- Dragon Ball: Raging Blast for the Xbox 360 and PS3
- Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans for the DS
- Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Picollo for the Wii
Just another big blow the classic publisher has faced recently. Anyone want to bet on who's going to die first, Dragon Ball games or Atari? Here at JoystickDivision HQ, our money is on Atari.

The real Atari died long ago, but this is pretty bad news for Neo-Atari. It's been one of their few consistently profitable franchises. Hopefully Ghostbusters does well.
