Infogrames has confirmed it has licensed the Dragon Ball Z property from FUNimation Productions to develop multiple games for current and next-generation platforms. Popular Dragon Ball Z characters such as Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan will be prominently featured in the upcoming games. The first games under the agreement will be announced at a later date.

　　"We are extremely pleased to partner with FUNimation to bring Dragon Ball Z to video game fans," said Paul Rinde, senior vice president and general manager of Infogrames' WizardWorks division. "Dragon Ball Z is a favorite among millions of kids and is one of the most highly searched topics on Lycos. We're confident we can bring the characters into a new medium for its growing fan base to enjoy."

　　Dragon Ball Z has become a sensation in the North American market ever since the animated cartoons were imported from Japan in 1994 by FUNimation Productions. The Cartoon Network show, which airs twice daily, draws an average of 1.5 million viewers each day. Several Dragon Ball Z games have previously been released on multiple platforms by Bandai.
