Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Sparking! Meteor) announced by Atari, with screens too

And thus a new chapter in the series rears its saiyan head, as Atari announced that it would be publishing Namco Bandai/Spike’s Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (or Sparking! Meteor in other regions) for North America.

As the teaser site shows some familiar faces, Atari confirms with their press release that over 20 new characters will be present in Sparking! Meteor, including never-before seen (in a DBZ game) Nail, King Cold, and King Vegeta, for a total of over 150 characters. Also in for the ride are over 20 day-and-night stages, with “the power of the moon in the night stages [giving] players additional ways to transform their characters and lets fans recreate some of their favorite memories from the show.”

The PR slates DBZ: Sparking! Meteor for a holiday 2007 release – given what was said in the teaser site, we’re thinking in time for Thanksgiving. Here’s the first batch of screens for the game:
