SEGA’S QUIRKY LOVE COMEDY 'THE RUB RABBITS!' SPRINGS INTO STORES
SAN FRANCISCO (February 7, 2006) – SEGA® of America, Inc. today
announced the release of The Rub Rabbits!™ exclusively for the
Nintendo DS™ system. The Rub Rabbits! delivers an all new “rub comedy”
adventure that leverages the unique touch-screen and voice recognition
interface on the DS hardware by delivering quirky original music,
stylized art, and many new features and multiplayer modes.
Developed by the creators of Feel the Magic™, The Rub Rabbits!
challenges gamers to switch from tapping and rubbing to screaming and
blowing as a means of controlling character actions. Four brand new
multiplayer modes are available including the Hullabaloo Mode in which
you and multiple friends get finger-tied in rounds of “Twister,” the
Baby Making Mode in which you and a friend can cut a cake to test your
compatibility, and the Connect Mode where you can play any of six
downloadable multiplayer games with up to four friends.
“SEGA delivers on the innovative gameplay and robust content that DS
owners love, inspiring gamers to get creative and hands-on with The
Rub Rabbits!” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing,
SEGA of America, Inc. “This game pushes the limits of the DS
technology by fully integrating all of the DS’s features into the
gameplay -- stylus, touch pad, microphone, and dual screens.”
Getting the girl is never easy, especially when competing against 12
other rivals. The hero must not only battle his rivals but also win
the affection of his love interest, and that’s just the beginning of
his troubles! The Rub Rabbits! offers over 35 chapters in Story Mode;
a newly expanded Memories Mode, which tests your skills at clearing
all stages for added bonuses; and Maniac Mode which is packed with
character customization options.
The Rub Rabbits! is now available at GameStop, EB Games, Toys “R” Us,
Fry’s and Game Crazy.
