Bust-A-Move: Mobile Mania Bursts Onto AT&T Phones
Multi-Player Version of Taito's Classic Bubble-Breaking Puzzle Action Now Available for Mobile Phones
LOS ANGELES - Jan. 10, 2008- A brand-new multiplayer version of one of the most popular puzzle games of all time has just popped up on more than 60 different AT&T mobile phones, including select models from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, across North America. Taito's BUST-A-MOVE TM : MOBILE MANIA features a new network option that allows players to compete against their friends and family on different mobile phones, capturing all the excitement of the classic arcade game.
"Classic puzzle games with networking options are a natural fit for the mobile platform," says Keiji Fujita, producer of BUST-A-MOVE: MOBILE MANIA. "Fans who remember playing these games on consoles and in the arcades can have the same great play experience on their mobile handsets."
BUST-A-MOVE: MOBILE MANIA features the same addictive gameplay that made the franchise a hit in arcades and living rooms around the world. In addition to the multi-colored bubble popping frenzy that has enthralled fans for years, BUST-A-MOVE: MOBILE MANIA adds an all-new network option that allows limitless fun as players can compete with friends and family across other mobile phones.
BUST-A-MOVE: MOBILE MANIA, currently available exclusively on the AT&T MEdia Mall storefront at $6.99, is expected to be available on T-Mobile USA as well as other major mobile carriers in the United States in early 2008.
