KONAMI SHIPS LOST IN BLUE 2 TO RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE

Return to the Desert Island Oasis and Live Off the Land in this Sequel to the Smash Hit Survival Adventure Game

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – March 20, 2007 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced it has shipped Lost in Blue 2, exclusively for the Nintendo DS™, to retail stores nationwide. Building upon the innovative survival adventure gameplay introduced by the first game in the series, Lost in Blue 2 lets players take on the role of two shipwrecked friends as they brave the elements, battle ferocious wild animals, and gather valuable items that will help them successfully escape the island and return to civilization.

Lost in Blue 2 follows Jack and Amy, young friends who are washed ashore on a tropical island when their cruise ship capsizes at sea. While planning their escape, the two must adapt to life on the island, collecting food and natural materials that can be fashioned into items. Players can choose to play as either Jack or Amy, each with their own set of unique survival skills. As they explore the island, Jack and Amy will need to control their hunger, stamina and thirst levels to ensure that they have enough energy to make it though each dense forest, rocky mountain pass and sandy beach. Featuring open-ended gameplay, players can actively choose to progress the game’s storyline and try to escape to civilization or remain on the island to explore its large areas, battle its native wildlife and make use of its natural materials.

Taking advantage of the Nintendo DS hardware, Lost in Blue 2 makes extensive use of the system’s touch screen and microphone to immerse players in all aspects of Jack and Amy’s adventure. In addition to popular mini-games from the original Lost in Blue game with expanded touch screen and microphone functionality such as cooking and tool crafting, players will be able to enjoy new activities such as scuba diving, carpentry and archery. Players will even take on the elements themselves, dealing with the destructive forces of tidal waves, earthquakes and hurricanes as they seek shelter and avoid disaster areas.

Lost in Blue 2 lets up to four adventurers enjoy the game together via local wireless connection, testing their skills in each of the game’s mini-games to see who has the superior survival skills. Using the Nintendo DS game sharing feature, only one game card is needed to play Lost in Blue 2 with others.

Lost in Blue 2 has a suggested retail price of $29.99 and is rated “E10+” by the ESRB. For more information on the Lost in Blue series, please visit www.konami.com
