SANTA CLARA, Calif., (November 13, 2006) – Leading video games publisher and
developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that Gunpey(R), an
invigorating new puzzle game from Q Entertainment, will be shipping to
retail outlets across North America starting this Tuesday, November 14,
2006. Building intricate designs that connect one side of the screen to
another is just the beginning of this title, originally conceived by the
legendary Gunpei Yokoi. Gunpey is available for the PSP(R)
(PlayStation(R)Portable) system and Nintendo DS(TM), and carries an MSRP of
$29.99.
“Gunpey is an infectious blend of enticing tunes and tantalizing gameplay
set against the backdrop of highly stylized art," said Naruo Uchida, NAMCO
BANDAI Games America Inc.’s Senior Vice President. “Several modes of
gameplay along with multiplayer wireless capability make Gunpey a great pick
for the holiday season."
Swap tiles on the game board to create long streams of linked lines before
they reach the top of the screen. The two platforms offer a different take
on similar gameplay mechanics; the PSP system sophisticated and sleek, while
the DS version charms with its whimsical designs. As players clear lines
across the screen, they can continue to add more lines into the mix,
creating increasingly complex designs. Whether playing against friends,
family, or AI, Gunpey provides mind-bending challenges and irresistible
gameplay for hardcore and casual gamers alike.
Developed by Q Entertainment, Gunpey is rated “E" for Everybody on the
Nintendo DS(TM) and rated “E10+" for Everybody 10 and Up on the PSP system
by the ESRB.
