SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Oct. 20, 2009) – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced that Dragon Ball^®: Revenge of King Piccolo is now available exclusively for Wii™. Dragon Ball fans can relive the early adventures of Goku as he explores the world, meets life-long companions and friends, and increases his martial arts power in this latest action-adventure side-scrolling brawler.

In Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, players assume the role of an adolescent Goku as he races against the Red Ribbon Army to collect all seven of the coveted Dragon Balls which, when collected, grant a single ultimate wish. Fans of the series will delight in reliving the crucial moments in Goku’s adventures in Adventure Mode, which take place between the Red Ribbon encounters to the pivotal King Piccolo conflict, including Goku’s journey to Korin Tower and his very first World Martial Arts Tournament.

With a simple move of the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™, players can have Goku fire off intricate combos, fly across the screen to connect jump-kick attacks, and execute his signature Kamehameha ultimate attack against enemies with ease. Additionally, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo supports a number of key gameplay features that will keep the action diverse and gameplay engaging including armor breaks, attack counters, and special lock-on aerial attacks.

In addition to the Adventure Mode, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo also features a Tournament Mode which will allow players to take their favorite Dragon Ball characters into the ring and duke it out. Featuring in-game collectibles and a host of unlockable characters and modes, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo will provide a thoroughly engaging and accurate portrayal of Goku's early formidable martial arts years.
