Phenomenally Popular Property Headed to Game Boy Advance for June Release

Game Will Feature Exclusive Cards

“Produced by FUNimation Productions, Dragon Ball Z® has a loyal following in the millions, and our goal is to provide an authentic interactive card game that stays true to the anime series and Score Entertainment’s original Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game,” said Paul Rinde, senior vice president and general manager of Infogrames’ Minneapolis label. “Plus Infogrames has included a “powerful and exclusive” promotional card inside the box. This specially marked promotional card will be a added bonus to the DBZ fan.”

In the DBZ: Collectible Card Game, players create multiple custom decks from over 300 cards from the Trunks™, Saiyan™, Frieza® and Androids™ saga’s. Using selected cards, players try to defeat their opponent with a combination of strategy, attacks and defense. The ultimate goal of the game is to achieve victory by one of three ways: Survival Victory, Dragon Ball Victory or Most Powerful Personality Victory.

To achieve a Survival Victory you must eliminate all of your opponent’s cards first. For a Dragon Ball victory a player must be the first to collect all seven Dragon Balls. To win a Most Powerful Personality Victory you must reach your highest personality level before your opponent.

The Game Boy ® Advance DBZ: Collectible Card Game allows gamers to play their favorite characters, play against friends or the computer, unlock nine “exclusive” Combat cards originally found in the Game Boy® Advance game, use multiple martial arts styles or chose only one and declare Tokui-Waza. DBZ fans will be able to play their favorite characters and enjoy powering up against friends or the system.
