Angel Cat Sugar
"Worldwide merchandising phenomenon" from Hello Kitty creator Yuko Shimizu coming to the DS and PC in July.
Angel Cat Sugar’s first foray into videogames will arrive in Europe* just in time for the summer school break, publisher Rising Star Games confirmed today. Released on the Nintendo DS™ and PC-CD, Angel Cat Sugar sees the ambitious publisher releasing both formats in July 2009, further strengthening its award-nominated Home of Japanese Games campaign throughout the summer months.
“We are thrilled to be working with Yuko Shimizu on this important new franchise. Angel Cat Sugar demonstrates that our position as the Home of Japanese Games extends across all markets and reaches into the mass market pioneered by Nintendo,” commented Martin Defries, managing director of Rising Star Games. “As a young and ambitious company, we feel perfectly placed to help in building this new brand and realising its enormous potential in the games market.”
About Angel Cat Sugar
As a princess of Angel Land, Sugar has the power to heal hurt feelings. With the help of three young mice, Thyme, Parsley and Basil, Sugar spends her time spreading her love throughout the kingdom, studying, listening to music and reading books. A big lover of nature, naturally she adores the forest, the stars in the sky, the beautiful moon, the birds, the river and the fish that swim in it.
Angel Cat Sugar will be released on Nintendo DS and PC-CD in Europe* and Australasia in July 2009.
*Stockholm based developer / publisher PANVISION AB will publish and distribute the Nintendo DS and PC-CD versions throughout the Nordic territory.
