D3PUBLISHER
OF AMERICA
LAUNCHES WTF:
work time
fun™ FOR THE
PSP® (PLAYSTATION®PORTABLE)
SYSTEM
LOS ANGELES
– October
17, 2006 –
D3Publisher
of America,
Inc. (D3PA),
will have
gamers
everywhere
shouting “WTF?”
as D3PA
announced
today the
release of
WTF: work
time fun™
exclusively
for the PSP®
(PlayStation®Portable)
system. WTF
offers a
crazy
collection
of fun and
addictive
mini-games
that drive
players to
perform
sometimes
trivial,
sometimes
mind-bending,
but always
fun jobs in
pursuit of
the almighty
dollar.
Players will
spend their
well-earned
money in the
prize-vending
machines on
new “jobs,”
trinkets and
for the
first time
ever on the
PSP system,
tools to use
in the “real
world” such
as the World
Clock, Ramen
Timer, and
Flashlight.
WTF is
available
now on store
shelves
across North
America with
a suggested
retail price
of $29.95.
“Unique
Japanese
games have
become a
favorite
among North
American
gamers and
WTF will be
no
exception,”,
said Michael
Scharnikow,
senior
marketing
manager,
D3PA. “We
have
successfully
maintained
the
integrity of
the game by
making very
minor
gameplay
tweaks
during the
localization
process, so
gamers will
experience
the
addictive,
crazy
arcade-style
action that
is truly
unique to
the PSP
system.”
Jam-packed
with more
than 40
wacked-out
mini-games
such as
Drunken
Mayor,
Private
Number and
Cliff Race
2000, WTF
offers
simple and
intuitive
gameplay
making it
easy for
anyone to
pick-up and
play. Gamers
will play
through WTF
solo or with
a friend in
five
multiplayer
games using
the wireless
ad hoc mode
for the PSP
system.
“Outsourcing”
will allow
players to
utilize only
one copy of
WTF to share
games with
friends
through the
wireless ad
hoc mode and
enjoy the
fruits of
their
friends’
labor by
receiving
all the
money the
friends
earn. After
players have
spent their
money,
they’ll head
back to
“work” so
they can
earn more
money to buy
more
stuff—much
like “real
life” but
much more
fun!
WTF: work
time fun was
developed by
Sony
Computer
Entertainment
Worldwide
Studios,
JAPAN Studio
and is rated
“T” (Teen –
blood and
gore, crude
humor, mild
language,
suggestive
themes, use
of alcohol,
and
violence) by
the ESRB.
