MechAssault: Phantom War Decimates Retailers

Today Majesco announced that MechAssault: Phantom War for the Nintendo DS has shipped to retailers across North America.

Developed by Backbone Entertainment, MechAssault: Phantom War is the first handheld version in the MechAssault series. Players assume the role of a MechWarrior, an elite fighter trained to pilot the BattleMechs for which the series is known. The game's action is shown on the top screen, while the touch screen controls the BattleMech. The game features more than 20 vehicle types including BattleMechs, tanks, turrets, and BattleArmor. There are 24 different single-player campaigns as well as five multiplayer game types. By taking advantage of the DS's system link capabilities, gamers can battle wirelessly against up to three other players.

MechAssault: Phantom War, which joins Age of Empires: The Age of Kings as the second Microsoft-owned property to be published on the DS by Majesco, will retail for a suggested price of $29.99.
