REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - November 28, 2006 - Konami Digital Entertainment,

Interactive Entertainment, has shipped to retail stores throughout North

On the quest to obtain the Shen Gong Wu, players will be able to take on the

role of four young warriors: the well-rounded Omi, feisty Kimiko, boisterous

Clay and the agile Raimundo. Each character has their own unique set of

20 action-packed stages, selecting the best character for each new

encounter.

As they complete portions of the single player story mode of Xiaolin

Showdown, players will unlock special mini-games such as fire bowling and

wind hockey, which take advantage of the unique features of the Nintendo DS

with support for touch screen and microphone input. These mini-games can be

enjoyed alone or with a friend via local wireless multiplayer support.
