EDISON,
N.J., March
13, 2008 -
Build and
decorate
your dream
home in Our
House, a new
simulation
for Nintendo
DS™
announced
today by
Majesco
Entertainment
Company
(NASDAQ:
COOL), an
innovative
provider of
video games
for the mass
market.
Developed by
Majesco
Studios
Santa
Monica, Our
House puts
players in
the
contractor's
shoes,
challenging
them to
manage
work-for-hire
jobs and
then use
those
earnings to
create their
own custom
residence. A
companion
title to the
previously
announced
Wii™
version, Our
House for DS
is due in
stores this
holiday
season.
"We are
incredibly
excited
about the
Our House
franchise
and this
extension of
it. Both DS
and Wii
versions
leverage the
innovative
controls of
each system
to create
fun,
addictive
games with a
perennially
popular
theme," said
Jesse
Sutton,
Chief
Executive
Officer,
Majesco. "We
are
particularly
proud that
this is
among the
first titles
to be
developed by
Majesco
Studios
whose core
focus is on
creating
unique IP
and
technology
with a mass
market
appeal."
"The central
building
mechanic of
Our House is
a perfect
fit for the
Touch Screen
since the
stylus
functions as
a universal
improvement
tool," said
Bill Petro,
Vice
President of
Internal
Development
and Studio
Head for
Majesco
Studios
Santa
Monica.
"This
unique,
do-it-yourself
concept lets
players
become
architect,
builder,
interior
designer and
home-owner
simultaneously."
Our House
allows
players to
design,
build,
remodel and
decorate a
wide
selection of
homes using
the DS
stylus as
the ultimate
building
tool. Lay
flooring,
hang
cabinets,
strip
wallpaper,
arrange
furniture
and much
more using
the
intuitive
Touch Screen
in 100
different
mini-games.
Players
choose
contractor
assignments
from the Job
Board then
renovate
kitchens,
living
rooms,
bathrooms
and bedrooms
for
eccentric
homeowners
with varying
tastes in
decor.
Gamers
can also
drop by the
local home
improvement
store and
spend their
earnings on
additional
tools and
furnishings,
including
new
appliances
and
accessories,
to boost the
value of
their own
residence
and upgrade
houses
throughout
the game.
Our House
for DS is
expected to
ship this
holiday. For
