We're Like Soooo Totally Spies!… Again!
Totally Spies! Return on Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance with 'Totally Spies! 2: Undercover'
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LYON, FRANCE - 13 June 2006 - Atari today
announced that Totally Spies! 2: Undercover is in development
and is set for release across Europe on Nintendo DS
and Game Boy Advance in November 2006. Following on
from the original Totally Spies for Nintendo GBA and
based on 5 totally new episodes of Marathon's globally
popular TV series, Totally Spies! 2: Undercover sees Clover,
Alex and Sam, three stereotypical Beverly Hills girls,
catapulted into the dangerous world of international
espionage where only their wit, attitude and high-tech
gadgets can help them save the World.
Featuring 25 levels of spytastic sneaking, dodging and
chasing down evil international men of mischief, Totally
Spies! 2: Undercover combines elements of platforming,
racing, puzzling, shooting and fighting. Being at the cutting
edge of hi-tech gadgetry themselves, Clover, Alex and Sam
felt it beyond necessary to make sure that with its mixture
of 2D and 3D graphics the DS version utilized the console's
unique touch screen, microphone and wireless multiplayer
capabilities, which players will find Totally Spies! 2:
Undercover does better than even one of Q's gadgets. Not to
be accused of dragging their feet, the girls made sure that
the 2D Game Boy Advance version included one or two tricks of
its own and it covers the 5 completely new episodes so well
players could be forgiven for thinking they're still watching
the show.
"Totally Spies! 2: Undercover captures the magic of the
Totally Spies television series and puts it directly into the
hands of the fans", said Tim Verschure, Senior Group Product
Manager, Atari Europe. "Both the DS and the GBA versions
offer stories from 5 episodes of the new TV series and let
fans taste the exciting world of international espionage
first hand."
Totally Spies! 2: Undercover is scheduled for release across
Europe in November 2006 on Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance.
