When I was a bit younger, Dragon Ball Z and the entire Dragon Ball franchise in general was a hit. Sure, its popularity has died down a bit but that hasn’t stopped a whole slew of games based on said franchise from coming out. The latest of such games is Dragon Ball: Origins 2 for the Nintendo DS which we have included a trailer for you above.

Now, I have absolutely no idea what is going on in the trailer but the loud Japanese screaming mixed with some slick looking gameplay shots makes the game look like a sure win.

If you’re looking to pick Dragon Ball: Origins 2 up, expect it on store shelves sometime this summer.

Formally owned by Atari, Dragon Ball has returned to it’s original publisher, Namco Bandai. This is unfortunate for Atari especially considering their current financial situation.

Bandai says that they will have exclusive rights to the Dragon Ball license 5 years beginning in January 2010. Additionally, they will publish the upcoming titles, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast.

Does Atari losing one of it’s biggest franchises mark the end for the aging company? I guess we’ll find out.
