Atari's PAL distribution network was absorbed into Bandai Namco Partners and Bandai Namco has also handled publishing in North America for future Dragon Ball Z games since 2010, effectively ending Atari's involvement. The series was published by Namco Bandai Games under the Bandai brand name in Japan and Europe, and as Atari in North America and Australia from 2005 to 2007. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (released in Japan as Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! ( ドラゴンボールZ Sparking!)) is a series of fighting games developed by Spike based on the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama.
