News: Dragon Ball Z: Something I Can't Pronounce coming to a handheld near you.

Atari has announced two new Dragon Ball Z projects for the portable systems of the world.

Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road for the PSP will be a sequel to last year's DBZ title. Another Road will once again be developed by Dimps and it will sport the same intense fighting of the original with "over 50 new fighting skills and ultimate attacks" and a roster featuring playable characters from Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Z. Another Road will also include a new story mode that pits Trunks against Majin Buu.

Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road is scheduled to ship in March.

Meanwhile, the DS will get some DBZ love in the form of Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu. Harukanaru Densetsu will be an RPG with a card-based battle system, a first for the DBZ series. It is scheduled to ship sometime this Spring.

"Newcomers and faithful fans of DBZ will be thrilled with these two new handheld games," said Emily Anadu, Product Manager, Atari, Inc. "Shin Budokai: Another Road lets players take the DBZ universe over a Wi-Fi network with an exciting new story that is sure to grab long-time fans while Harukanaru Densetsu tackles a new form of RPG with card-playing -- an interesting innovation for the DBZ series that we believe will attract gamers who enjoy strategy based gameplay."

We'll have more on both of these games soon.
