LOS ANGELES—July 10, 2008—Legacy Interactive announced today that it has signed an agreement with Nintendo of America to publish titles for the Nintendo DS™ and Wii™. Legacy Interactive will be expanding its popular Real Life Games® franchise this October 2008 with the release of Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals for Nintendo DS™ and Pet Pals: Animal Doctor for Wii™.
Pet Pals: Animal Doctor is designed especially for Wii™ and enhances the player’s gaming experience by utilizing unique Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, allowing the players to feel as if they are actually holding and using medical tools in the veterinarian’s office.
