MonkeyPaw Games Announce Tomba Coming to PSN on June 19th
Hokkaido, Japan – June 12th, in the year of our Lord 2012
- MonkeyPaw Games today announced the side-scrolling platforming
adventure Tomba! will make its PlayStationŽNetwork debut in the
PSoneŽ Classics section on Tuesday, June 19th for $9.99. Garnering
almost universally positive reviews and high prices due to its
rarity, Tomba! was the brainchild of Tokuro Fuijiwara, known for his
creation of the Ghosts’n Goblins series as well as the producer of
the Mega Man series. The rich, interactive atmosphere of Tomba!
helped create the title’s innovative gameplay, being one of the
earliest PlayStationŽ games to use the Dual Shock feature. Help our
pink-haired protagonist trample the seven evil pigs and retrieve his
grandfather’s prized bracelet when Tomba! returns on June 19th.
"Tomba! is a title that completely fits the mold of MonkeyPaw Games,
fantastic gameplay and a rare find. It’s being sold at prices more
expensive than gaming systems these days. It still deserves your
attention and that’s saying a lot after all these years,” said John
Greiner, President and CEO of MonkeyPaw Games. “We’re committed
towards bringing back classic and import titles for those who
haven’t experienced them or simply want to re-live their retro
roots. We’re excited that fans will finally be able to play this
legendary gem.”
