NAMCO BANDAI GAMES AMERICA INC. GUNPEY(R) SWINGS INTO RETAIL STORES    


Stylized Puzzler Brings a Unique Beat to the PSP(R) System and Nintendo   DS(TM)
   


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.  â€œSeveral 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.
