‘POINT BLANK DS'

Atari today announced the launch of Point Blank DS for Nintendo DS™ from NAMCO BANDAI Games, available now at retailers across Europe.  The classic arcade shoot-em-up has come to rest in the perfect place on Nintendo's innovative DS console, the stylus and touch screen lending themselves impeccably to the game's rapid-fire gameplay.  In keeping with the game's heritage, the fast, addictive gameplay and fun visual style are all intact in Point Blank DS.
Where once a light gun was the digital sharp-shooter's weapon of choice, now the stylus is the means by which players can pepper the DS screen with bullet holes in search of that elusive bulls-eye.  Players' hand eye coordination and steely nerve will be tested to the max across 40 different stages, with gameplay modes including high-score free play, arcade play, and classic coin-op.  Alongside the familiar styles of play are the brand new Brain Massage challenge, which measures players abilities through a series of frenetic quick fire shoot outs, and two player wireless multiplayer mode which lets players duel it out through a series of chaotic mini-games to see who's really quickest on the draw.
The four difficulty settings along with the variety of gameplay on offer ensure there's something for everyone in Point Blank DS, whether a private eye .45 Magnum type, or a nervous grandma with hubby's old revolver in the bedside cabinet.


TAMAGOTCHI® CONNEXION™: CORNER SHOP™ 2

Atari today announced the forthcoming European release of NAMCO BANDAI Games' Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop 2. Based on the wildly popular Tamagotchi® Connexion® virtual pet toy, aspiring shop keepers can open a variety of shops in which they tend to their Tamagotchi customers' needs by successfully completing tasks in a variety of playful mini-games. Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi return in this sequel to help players create a shopping fantasyland populated by more than 100 different humorously endearing Tamagotchi friends.  Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop 2 for Nintendo DS™ is scheduled for release across Europe in March 2007.
In Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop 2, shop owners must keep their bizarrely adorable Tamagotchi partners happy by earning "Gotchi points" through performing mini-game tasks for the customers. Gotchi points can be used to clothe, feed, and care for your Tamagotchi partners. As more points are collected, new types of shops for players to open will become unlocked. Shops not seen in the original such as the Bowling Alley and Sushi Bar will be available, as well as upgrades to old favourites like the Concert Hall where players can sing along to the music with the DS microphone.
Catering to the needs of your customers will be essential in keeping the Tamagotchi happy in Tamagotchi Connexion: Corner Shop 2. The five different happiness levels will determine the dialogue that occurs between the player and their Tamagotchi partner, and nobody likes a grumpy Tamagotchi!
