HAMSTERS ARE THE REAL GOLD MEDAL WINNERS

Join the Ham-Ham team and be a hamster hero

Roll up roll up! Come and stay at the fantastic new sports village, where 15 fantastic sporting games await you! Join the hamster crew as they play a variety of sporting games, chill by the beach or pool and chat to their hamster competitors. Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games launches across Europe on the Game Boy Advance from 16th July.

Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games is a seven-day sports tournament, where players play as the adorable Hamtaro, guiding him and his friends in a whole array of games to win bronze, silver and gold medals. Players can compete in up to three different games every day. There's something for everyone - hamster tennis, hamster volleyball, hamster archery, hamster diving, hamster throwing and yes you've guessed it, hamster hurdles. There's even synchronized swimming for the little hamsters. Once the seven-day tournament is over, players can go back and enjoy the fun all over again, collecting all the medals they missed.

In this fun packed sporting bonanza, players can limber up before each game with a practice session and polish-up their gaming knowledge with full instructions on how to play the mini-games. If Hamtaro gets a little tired of games, he has many other leisure activities to keep him occupied. Hamtaro and friends can chill-out and watch cool hamster TV programmes, like the DJ request show or shopping channel. By using the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable, players can also trade customized cards and data with each other.

Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games will be available across Europe from 16th July, at the estimated retail price of around 40 Euros.
