Irvine, CA, October 31, 2003 - Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced the launch of the official Go! Go! Hypergrind website at http://www.atlus.com/gogo. The site will feature exclusive screenshots and video, wallpaper, game information and a dedicated message board. Go! Go! Hypergrind is being developed by the newly-formed Team Poponchi at Atlus Japan in conjunction with Spumco, the creators of The Ren & Stimpy Show and The Ripping Friends and is set for release on November 18.

SYNOPSIS

SPUMCO, the real world animation company responsible for the hit cartoon series, The Ren & Stimpy Show, is holding auditions for an upcoming action feature called "Hypergrind", in which the main character will be an animated skateboarder capable of performing crazy and humorous tricks. As the character of your choice, you'll enroll in SPUMCO's newly founded stunt school, where you'll compete against other outrageous characters while pulling off insane fantasy tricks and performing extreme "Negative Reactions" on the game's 8 massive themed movie sets.

The one to graduate at the top of the class will earn the right to star in the upcoming show. How well you perform during the audition process and in stunt school will determine how lucrative a contract you're offered. May the best skater win!

"Go! Go! Hypergrind" takes the skateboarding genre and does a complete 180°," states Sonoko Saito, Product Manager of Atlus U.S.A., Inc. "The compelling audition style game progression coupled with the negative reaction combo system makes for a very unique and different videogame skateboarding experience. If you like skateboarding and crazy off-the-wall humor than this game is for you."
