Atari games playable at Comic Con

Gamers will be able to get their hands on upcoming Atari titles at New York convention; Godzilla: Unleashed also to be shown.

Bullet Witch, Godzilla: Unleashed, and Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road will all be shown to the public for the first time at the New York Comic Con 2007. Bullet Witch and Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road are likely to be playable, says Atari, and there will also be a nonplayable demo of Godzilla: Unleashed.

Godzilla: Unleashed was recently announced by the company for the Wii, DS, and PlayStation Portable, and will be released in "fall 2007." Gamers play as Godzilla, or a choice of other giant monsters, and rampage through a series of cityscapes wreaking destruction. Bullet Witch is an Xbox 360 title, and has just gone gold--it is due for release in the US on February 27. The game describes itself as "a neo-apocalyptic action adventure," and blends Japanese fantasy with "American action." Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road is the latest release in the popular Dragon Ball Z series, and features 50 new fighting skills and ultimate attacks. The title is due for release in March 2007 for the PSP.

Atari's vice president of marketing and sales, Nique Fajors, commented, "While Godzilla: Unleashed, Bullet Witch, and DBZ Shin Budokai: Another Road offer different gameplay features, storylines, and visual flair, all three share a common bond of Japanese art and influence--a bond that has been extremely prevalent in comics and other popular art forms."

The New York Comic Con 2007 will be held February 23-25 at the Jacob Javits Center.

A game that's playable on the Wii, DS, and PSP. I wonder how they'll be similar / different. Initially developers were lumping the Wii in with the previous generation consoles (PS2 / GC / XBOX). Now it's being lumped in with handhelds. I wonder what this means for the long-term future of the Wii...

When Interplay folded, Atari tried to fill their niche; unfortunately, they didn't realize the bottom had fallen out of the PC market. Even developers are shying away from trying to sustain themselves primarily on PC titles these days. Atari's move to consoles is just too late.

I hope they slow the mechanics down and he doesn't fight like Bruce Lee.

The problem is that Bullet Witch is what Atari is relying on to save them.

LoL, I don't think anyone will be as pissed as the family that drove down from CT, payed for a hotel room for the weekend, as well as gas and tolls, only to be told he couldn't get in after waiting on that line for 3-4 hours! I was only on that line for an hour, and I represent Queenz! Man, he was furious though. I thought he was going to punch someone in the face. He had every right too. Oh well, at least cause of their screw up, I get in for free, plus an hour before the rest of the crowd! =)

It does look that way. Suprised that they are not making the next DBZ title for the Wii or DS also.
