News: Nintendo's next system gets its own version of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2.

Atari followed up their announcement of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the PS2 with an announcement that it's also coming to the Nintendo Revolution.

The Revolution edition will include the same "intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic and takes it to a whole new level with over 100 playable characters, 15 vast and vibrant 3D destructible environments, and nine different game modes, including single and multiplayer battles" as the PS2 game.

The Revolution rendition will set itself apart by including functionality based around the Rev's motion-based controller. According to Atari "players will be able to mimic signature moves as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series, such as Goku's Kamehameha, moving both hands to execute this devastating energy attack."

Matt Collins, Atari Director of Marketing said, "The innovative controller featured with Nintendo Revolution is perfectly suited for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, which engages players with fast-paced fighting moves. Gamers will be able to play in a very physical way, mimicking several of the show's most popular character moves and pull off awesome combos and attacks."

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is currently scheduled for a Winter release. We assume it will be a launch title.
