Selatra set to score with 'Subbuteo Mobile'

Selatra the global distributor of mobile Java games, announced today the availability of a mobile version of the classic Subbuteo table football game.

Called Subbuteo Mobile, the game was created under license from Hasbro Properties and is expected to open up the Subbuteo experience to a whole new generation of fans.

The game has made a smooth transition to the mobile world, retaining many of the quirks, moves and gameplay feel of the original title, thanks to first class game development by Creative North Studios.

“Selatra’s established distribution network in over 55 countries will ensure the mobile Subbuteo experience will reach an audience of over 200 million subscribers.” said Sean Cronin, CEO of Selatra. “‘Subbuteo is 40 years old this year and there are many fans with fond memories of playing hard fought tournaments. The mobile version has the ability to excite a whole new generation of football fans and we are delighted at the trust Hasbro has placed in us.”

Cronin also had words of praise for game developers, Creative North:

“We are impressed with the care and attention Creative North has lavished on this project,” said Cronin. “This collaboration with Hasbro and Creative North reinforces our strategy of releasing only the highest quality branded and non-branded games to our retail partners,” said Cronin.

Phil Mundy CEO of Creative North added: “Being Subbuteo fans ourselves we have given the mobile incarnation lots of loving care. There are plenty of skill practice opportunities for new players, so you don’t have to be familiar with the original game to play it. I hope Selatra’s audiences get as much fun playing this game as we have had developing it.”

Subbuteo Mobile is available on all GSM and 3G networks. Selatra’s full range of games is available on www.selatra.com
