From 2005 to 2007, Namco Bandai Games published the series under the Bandai brand name in Japan and Europe and under the Atari name in North America and Australia. Atari’s involvement was effectively ended when its PAL distribution network was absorbed into Bandai Namco Partners, and since 2010, Bandai Namco has also handled publishing in North America for upcoming Dragon Ball Z games.
