LOS ANGELES, CA – February 1, 2011–Capcom® Mobile, a leading developer and publisher of video games, today announced plans to publish VisualDreams’ zany platformer, Herman The Hermit, on the Apple App Store.
“We’re excited to be working with VisualDreams to bring their extraordinary game to the Apple App Store,” said Midori Yuasa, President and COO, Capcom Interactive, Inc. “ Herman The Hermit wonderfully showcases what a small passionate developer can accomplish while fitting right at home within the larger Capcom library. We hope that this will be the first of many iOS co-publishing deals between Capcom Mobile and talented smartphone game developers.”
In the game, players take control of Herman, a crazy old hermit that lives high up in the Himalayan Mountains.
