In a continuation of yesterday's video game story, here's some more news on cartoon-licensed gaming goodness:
In a recent interview in GamePro magazine, Infogrames Senior Vice President Paul Rinde had made it known that Infogrames would be producing several games based on the Dragonball Z universe, with games for each current system.
The Gameboy Advance will have a trilogy of games based on the Legend of Goku, which will be accurate to the TV show and license. The genre of the trilogy seems to be RPG/Fighting, with surround-sound audio, which is a first for the Gameboy Advance.
The Gamecube version will be more of an RPG/Adventure, and will also focus on the Legend of Goku. The Gamecube game will have 30+ playable characters, and will be able to hook up to the Gameboy Advance for further interaction.
There are no other details, except that games are planned for the Playstation 2, XBox, and PC.
