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. For more information about Atari's entire product line up visit www.atari.com.
