TAMAGOTCHI PARTY ON! COMING TO Wii

NAMCO BANDAI Games Brings the Party to Europe This Summer

LYON, FRANCE - 11 May 2007 - Atari today announced the forthcoming release of NAMCO BANDAI Games' Tamagotchi Party On! for Wii, a charming and fun-packed 3D party game based on the hit Tamagotchi franchise in which players race to become the most popular Tamagotchi on the planet. Tamagotchi Party On! is scheduled for release across Europe in August 2007.

Bringing the Tamagotchi universe to life in full 3D for the very first time, Tamagotchi Party On! is fantastic pick-up-and-play multiplayer party fun. The unique Wii control system lets players swing, shake, point, turn and twist the Wii Remote to play their way through the quirky gameworld, which turns the whole Tamagotchi Planet into a giant 3D board game filled with unique towns and other fun locations to explore. Gameplay is instantly accessible and perfectly suited to Wii, with a host of exciting mini-games that will test the player's skill either solo or against up to three friends to see who has what it takes to become Tamagotchi President.

Players can choose to play as their favorite Tamagotchi character and level them up through the game. With Gotchi earned along the way, players can customize and decorate their campaign headquarters however they like, allowing them in turn to give their characters a fresh new look and increase their chances in the Tamagotchi popularity stakes.

Tamagotchi Party On! is scheduled for European release in August 2007.
