ATARI UNVEILS 2007 E3 MEDIA AND BUSINESS SUMMIT LINE-UP

Fighting, RPG and Board Game Genres to Highlight E3 Roster

NEW YORK, July 9, 2007 – Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR) one of the world’s

most recognized brands and a third-party video game publisher, today

announced the company’s product line-up for the E3 Media and Business

Summit, taking place July 11 – 13 at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica,

California. Games spanning multiple genres and platforms will be

on-hand at the Atari booth (518 and 520) and include Dragon Ball Z®:

Budokai Tenkaichi™ 3 Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment

system, The Witcher for Games for Windows, Godzilla®: Unleashed for Wii

and Jenga® for Wii.

“Atari’s 2007 E3 roster showcases some of the most exciting titles from

our diverse fall line-up – from the fan-favorite Dragon Ball Z series to

the graphically stunning The Witcher," said David Pierce, Chief

Executive Officer, Atari, Inc. “We’re excited to participate in the new

E3 Media & Business Summit and look forward to having media and business

partners spend time with the Atari Team and our titles."

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 combines the lightning fast fighting

and action that have made Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and Budokai Tenkaichi 2

the #1 fighting games of 2005 and 2006. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai

Tenkaichi 3 delivers an extreme 3D fighting experience, improving upon

last year’s game with over 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting

techniques, beautifully refined effects and shading techniques, making

each character's effects more realistic, and over 30 battle stages. The

immensely popular Dragon Ball Z® series is the gold standard of

anime-based video games, with more than 25 different games and over 10

million units sold since May 2002. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc.

/ Spike, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is slated to release for the

Wii and PlayStation 2 system during the 2007 holiday season.

Based on the world created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej

Sapkowski’s novels, The Witcher casts players as Geralt, a legendary

monster slayer and master swordfighter with supernatural abilities and

reflexes. The Witcher presents a fresh approach to traditional

role-playing, blending an expansive, twisting plotline – in which the

impact of individual decisions can drastically alter the outcome of the

game – and fast-paced combat against a wide variety of foes. Using

advanced graphics and physics systems, The Witcher delivers brutal

action, multi-faceted RPG options and an intriguing story to engulf all

players who dare to play. The Witcher, developed by CD Projekt, will be

available for Games for Windows this fall.

Godzilla: Unleashed offers fighting on a giant scale. The game stars

the legendary Godzilla and a slew of the most renowned monsters of

all-time. Gamers are challenged to ultimately save the planet from

mayhem and destruction. Set in urban arenas, Godzilla: Unleashed’s

interactive 3D cityscapes, big destructible buildings, soaring

skyscrapers and towering alien formations provide the backdrop to epic

worldwide destruction. Godzilla: Unleashed is slated for a fall release

on the Wii and Nintendo DS.

For the first time, the beloved family game Jenga comes to the world of

videogames, utilizing the innovative controls of the Wii and DS for

unpredictable, quick-paced, tactical gameplay that combines suspense and

risk-taking, where mounting anticipation comes to a crashing climax.

The game will contain all the fun, intensity and challenge of the

original boxed game with a wealth of exciting new enhancements ,

power-ups and twists that are possible only in the videogame world.

Simple to learn and fun to play, Jenga promises great entertainment for

all ages when it releases for the Wii and Nintendo DS this fall.

Yeah for Godzilla.

Pitiful line up from Atari.

Even as a long time "fan" of the Dragonball series (although I've grown out of it a long time ago it still has a place in my heart as the anime that got me into well...anime...anyway) I'm not interested in yet another DBZ game. It's been done to death now. DBZ: Budokai 3 was lots of fun, I tried Tenkaichi Budokai and hated it. . . and now it's on number 3 as well. I'd say the franchise has about run its course and is dried up.
