As Megagames had reported a couple of days ago, Nokia officially announced that Taito had joined the group. The first Taito titles will include Puzzle Bobble VS, a fighting action multiplayer puzzle game, and Taito Memories, the four most popular Taito game titles in one package.
Taito feels absolutely confident that the Nokia N-Gage will lead the mobile terminal market with the creation of a new game platform, said Yasuo Nishigaki, President, Taito Corporation. In the future, Taito will certainly put more efforts and resources to cooperate with Nokia to promote the N-Gage and we will expand our mobile game content offering.
The Nokia N-Gage brings a new level of mobile interactive gaming to the market, offering totally new and unique gaming possibilities. Taito provides an exciting selection of interactive games that take advantage of the innovative features found only on the N-Gage, said Ilkka Raiskinen, Senior Vice President, Entertainment and Media Business Unit, Nokia Mobile Phones. We are very pleased to be working with Taito to bring rich game content to the Nokia N-Gage.
Puzzle Bobble VS is a highly popular fighting action puzzle game formatted specifically for the Nokia N-Gage. Taking advantage of the Bluetooth functionality in the N-Gage, Puzzle Bobble VS lets four people play at same time in a wireless environment. Taito Memories includes Super Space Invaders, an update of the world classic Space Invaders, and three other leading Taito games. These game titles will be available on MMC (MultiMediaCard) and sold separately from the Nokia N-Gage game deck.
