Capcom Interactive, Inc., a leading publisher and developer of interactive
entertainment for the mobile platform, announced the development of four new
titles including mobile versions of the seminal Mega Man II(R) and Street
Fighter II(R), as well as an all music version of their Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire(R) mobile game dubbed Millionaire Music Edition(TM). Also announced
was Shade II(TM), a new massively multiplayer mobile game that allows players to
play online across mobile networks. The announcement was made at the company's
annual Gamer's Day event held yesterday in San Francisco.
"We feel strongly that our continued success in mobile must come through quality
of product, diversity in our portfolio, true innovation in design and seamless
deployment," said Midori Yuasa, president, Capcom Interactive, Inc. "The titles
we announced today do an excellent job of illustrating the scope and breadth of
our product offerings, and our commitment to the mobile space."
The titles announced at the Gamer's Day event span a broad spectrum of genres
including action platform, fighting, casual trivia and role playing. Details
include:
Shade II - Set in a fantasy world, Shade was the first mobile game to
incorporate a full featured massively multiplayer role playing experience onto a
handset. Shade II will expand the existing world and bring many exciting new
features to the already deep gameplay. The robust character creation system
allows the player to specialize in melee weapons, ranged weapons, spells or
healing attributes through play as opposed to assigning character points.
Additionally, the game will support advanced MMO features such as boats and
steeds for fast travel, PVP as well as cooperative modes of play, community
features such as clan naming and private messaging, tons of loot and of course
massive environments to explore. Shade II is expected to be available on BREW
and Java handsets in Q1 of '08.
Mega Man II - The classic action platformer that defined the genre has made its
way to mobile. As the robotic blue bomber, Mega Man, the player must battle
through 14 levels and defeat eight robot masters before tackling the nefarious
Dr. Wily. Mega Man II will be available this June for both BREW and Java
handsets.
Street Fighter II - Test your mettle against the greatest fighters in the world
including Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, E Honda, Blanka, Zangief, Guile and Dhalsim in this
classic coin-op gone mobile. Built from the ground up to play fast and frenetic
on today's handsets, this classic fighter is a key-press-for-key-press carbon
copy of the arcade legend, with all the moves, sounds and combinations that
define the franchise. Street Fighter II will be available this June for both
BREW and Java handsets.
Millionaire Music Edition - From the general to the obscure and eclectic,
Millionaire Music Edition tests players' knowledge of all things music with
1,000 mind-bending questions. Like the syndicated TV show, the game begins with
common knowledge $100 questions and culminates with $1 million questions to
challenge even true devotees of the genre. To help players progress through the
game, four lifelines are available including - "Ask the Audience," "50:50,"
"Phone a Friend" and the recently added "Switch a Question." Millionaire Music
Edition will ship in mid-May for BREW and Java handsets.
