Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, known in Japan as Dragon Ball Kai: Saiyan Invasion (ドラゴンボール改 サイヤ人来襲, Doragon Bōru Kai Saiyajin Raishū?), is a video game based on the manga and anime series Dragon Ball for the Nintendo DS. The game is developed by Monolith Soft and distributed by Namco Bandai in North America and everywhere else under the Bandai label. It was released in Japan on April 29, 2009. The game was released in Europe and North America in November 2009. The game was originally planned to use the Z moniker but was changed to Kai to associate it with the Dragon Ball Kai revision.
The game is a turn-based RPG that allows players to take on the role of six characters from the series, starting from the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai through the Saiyan story arc. The game is one of the first games in the Dragon Ball franchise to be published by Namco Bandai in North America, as the company would acquire the gaming license from previous license holder Atari in July of that same year.
The game was met with fair criticism with gaming critics complimenting the battle system, its visuals, and its ability to stay true to the series. It would go on to be the third-best selling video game during the month of May 2009 in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the words dragon and/or attack:
“Come not between the dragon and his wrath.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
