Atlus today announced the acquisition of the North American publishing rights to Bomberman Land Touch!, an action/adventure game for the Nintendo DS. The game is part of the growing partnership between Atlus and Hudson Soft, the developers of Bomberman Land Touch!
"We're thrilled to again join forces with Hudson Soft and to strengthen our relationship with such a great game from the storied franchise," said Sonoko Saito, VP of Production & Business Development for Atlus. "We published a pair of Bomberman titles in the recent past, so we're intimately familiar with the series. And with the excitement that surrounds each new Bomberman release, Bomberman Land Touch! is just the beginning."
Bomberman Land Touch! is an action-adventure game taking full advantage of the DS touch screen and stylus. In the Story Mode, explore Bomber Island while solving puzzles, chatting up rival characters, and engaging in 36 one- to four-player "attractions" (mini-games) with action, racing, sports, and other typical party games. In Attraction Mode, enjoy any of the mini-games you've unlocked in the Story Mode. In the Battle Mode, play classic multiplayer Bomberman with two to eight players via Wireless Single-Card or Multi-Card Play. Two to four players can get their detonation on via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Bomberman Land Touch! is scheduled for release in early November 2006.
