RUMMIKUB® COMING TO NINTENDO DS

Games Factory Online, producer and publisher of Entertainment and Serious Games, and Engine Software, game developer based in the Netherlands, today announce that they are currently in the process of developing Rummikub® for the Nintendo DS platform. The game is aimed to be released in Q4 of 2008.

Since the 1950s Rummikub® has been an immensely popular family game, played by millions of people all over the world, and being voted “Game of the Year” in over a dozen countries during its existence. Now, Engine Software and GFO are bringing the officially licensed version of the game to the Nintendo DS. Rummikub® for DS will be based on the classic version of the game, and like the original game it will be targeted at the 7+ audience.

Jurriaan van Rijswijk, General Manager at Games Factory Online said: “ When we acquired the official license for this game, we looked for a stable and experienced developer to turn the license into a succesful release for Nintendo DS. With Engine Software we found the ideal partner for this project, and we are quite excited about bringing this product to the market in the near future. “

Games Factory Online and Engine Software will be releasing further information, including screenshots and other media, in the coming period. An exact release date and price point have not yet been confirmed, and will be announced at a later date.

Some of this is restatement but I sure do like one of the posters.

Revver is not working again so just the norm lately.

I have a couple of videos to get up on the site. The videos usually take the longest to post so anytime in the next roughly 5 hours there should be trailers on the site. I will try to use our internal video system and also a link to a Revver version.
