PopCap Launches Zumas Revenge for Nintendo DS
Adaptation of Top Action Puzzler Delivers the Best of Classic Gameplay as well as Exclusive Daily Dungeon and Multiplayer Versus Modes
SEATTLE, Washington—February 21, in the year of our Lord
2011— PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual
video games, today announced the launch of Zuma’s Revenge!™ for
Nintendo® DS. The game is available immediately on retail store
shelves nationwide for U.S. $19.95. A DSiWare edition releases
in mid-March and will be available for download from the
Nintendo online shop for 800 Points.
“Bringing the Zuma franchise to the console-based handheld
market is long warranted and getting these exciting adaptations
for Nintendo DS and DSiWare is just the beginning,” noted Van
Riker, Zuma franchise marketing manager at PopCap. “These games
have been fully optimized for Nintendo’s popular devices and
feature exclusive gameplay content that will challenge Zuma fans
more than ever before.”
Zuma’s Revenge! is based on the highly popular PC version, where
a formidable force has transported PopCap’s fearless frog to a
newly evolved world ruled by evil tiki bosses. The game takes
the basic point-and-click premise of the original Zuma® up
several notches by incorporating horizontal and vertical
“sliding” as well as the ability to hop from one lily pad to
another, and to reach all areas of the screen. The Nintendo DS
and DSiWare adaptations in particular more than live up to the
Zuma standard, packing in all the classic levels from Adventure
and Challenge modes. Additionally, the DS cartridge version
introduces new, exclusive gameplay, including the new Daily
Dungeon mode (similar to the Daily Spin featured in Bejeweled
Blitz) as well as a multiplayer Versus mode, offering three
different gameplay styles, and allowing two players to challenge
one another over the (ad-hoc-only) DS Wireless Communications
Network.
Game Features At-A-Glance
◊ Adventure Mode: Challenge yourself through 6 stages and 60
levels to defeat 6 imposing bosses
◊ Challenge Mode: Reach your potential by completing 60 score
challenges
◊ Iron Frog Mode: With just one life, the going gets tougher
each time you complete one of the 10 levels
◊ Tiki Temple: Track your Zumaic feats and collect 15
Achievements
◊ 6 Power-Ups: Turn up the heat and boost your firepower with
Lightning, Laser and more
Exclusive to the Nintendo DS Version:
◊ Daily Dungeon Mode: Explore the mysteries of the dungeon
calendar and come back every day to a fresh challenge featuring
Astro, Blitz and Boss
◊ Versus Mode (cartridge only): Choose from 3 different
multiplayer game styles and play with a friend over the DS
Wireless Communications Network (ad-hoc only).
Zuma’s Revenge! is the second game in a franchise that has sold
over 20 million copies to date, featuring the adventures of
PopCap’s ball-blasting frog in a series of arcade-style
challenges set in a tropical paradise. Popular adaptations of
Zuma’s Revenge! have already appeared on PC/Mac and Facebook as
well as a variety of mobile phones.
