Crazy Mini Golf on Nintendo Wii..Gone Gold

Stourbridge, England, 25th September 2008. The United States have won The Ryder Cup for the first time since 1999, ending a run of three successive victories for Europe, after an epic encounter at Valhalla Golf Club. The European team was odds on favourite to win for a fourth time but, sadly, European Captain Nick Faldo couldn’t pull it out of the bag – so now we are going to have to suffer two years of American smugness until we can challenge for the prestige cup again……. On a lighter note, however, Data Design Interactive – a successful video games publisher and games developer, are pleased to announce that their Nintendo Wii game entitled ‘Kidz Sports – Crazy Mini Golf’ to be released on their Popcorn Arcade, label has Gone Gold. So, instead of sulking about the Ryder Cup defeat, grab your putter, choose your character and aim for the entrance to the windmill…..!

Kidz Sports – Crazy Mini Golf’ offers players 72 crazy holes set over 4 wacky courses; DDI are also introducing the all new ‘NuYu’ character editor. Have fun and a lot of laughs creating customised Kidz Sports versions of you and your friends to play in game. In multiplayer modes your opponents will also appear in game and can cheer or taunt your play on the green.

The game has the most accurate golf swing of any Wii title, where the smallest and the most accurate of movements are perfectly simulated. This is a real challenge for a skilled player or a serious golfer. We also recognise that mini golfing is fun and in case your non- golfing auntie also wants to play, we also have a simpler arcade fast play mode. Play 9 or 18 holes, multiplayer with friends, or solo and try to beat your best, or the worlds best scores for each hole. Lots of challenges and lots of fun, once mastered, you will feel like a putting green King…

Take your putting to the next level with Kidz Sports: Crazy Mini Golf.

Players Compete for Thousands in CASH and Prizes

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Sept. 24, 2008 – NDOORS is giving gamers the opportunity to win cash, gaming hardware and in‑game items while they try out the strategic, turn-based MMORPG Atlantica Online. Open beta testers will have multiple chances to win through participation in the game’s PvP arena called the Free Leagues.

Individual prizes range from cash to game systems such as the Nintendo Wii and electronics like the iPod Nano. The value of the prizes will scale up as the total number of participants in the Free Leagues increases, up to a $10,000 cash prize if 30,000 players participate. Players who reach Level 20 and fight in the Free Leagues will be eligible for random drawings during the course of the beta. Free League participants can also compete for cash and prizes in single-elimination PvP tournaments. The random drawings and tournaments will be held when each of the milestones for players in the Free Leagues — 5,000; 10,000; 20,000 and 30,000 players — are reached.

“NDOORS created something unique in the MMO world when we designed the deep turn-based, strategic world of Atlantica Online. So we decided we needed something just as original for our open beta,” said Peter Kang, CEO, NDOORS Interactive. “This is going to be unlike anything anyone has seen before.”

Atlantica Online is set in a parallel universe that takes players on an exciting journey to unravel the hidden secrets of Atlantis. With its heavy emphasis on strategy, Atlantica was designed to stand out amongst the ‘cookie-cutter’ MMOs.

The strategic game play incorporated into the turn-based combat, mercenary and nation management systems will appeal to strategy and RPG players. The turn-based combat system offers players the chance to strategically plan every move of the nine characters in their group. The mercenary system gives players the chance to manage multiple characters’ development simultaneously. The town/nation management system adds a layer of strategic play where guilds establish control of cities or even countries and go to war with each other.

Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com) is now preparing version 2.0, which will bring fresh experiences to its players. This includes new stories, maps, mobs, quests and systems. Today we’ll have a preview of the new maps on Winter Island.

New Winter Island is the next island in the chain of seasonal islands. Along with Spring, Summer, and Autumn Island. It is the island of dreams for players Level 90+ to improve themselves. They will have new monsters to challenge and many more quests to do. It contains 5 small islands:

1. Crescent Island: The 1st map on Winter Island has the largest supplies and all kinds of NPCs, as well as Level 90-96 monsters and a Level 96 BOSS Turtle in the training areas. If players want to access this place they must be Level 90+, then bring up the transport function at the Autumn Island NPC.

2. Snow Ville Island and Snow Cara Island: Named after Njorth Ville and Goddess Cara, this desolate snowbound region has Level 97-103 monsters, each of the islands also has an elite BOSS Leopard, which are harder for players to defeat.

3. Winter Lake Island: Where Njorth Ville lived after he returned, and scattered with a considerable number of Level 90-96 monsters, it’s a good place for quick leveling. The BOSS on this island is the Stone Dragon.

4. Iceberg Island: The largest island of the Winter Island chain, it has Level 104-106 monsters, and is fit for Level 100+ players to train. You have to bring up the transport function to access through a quest. The monsters on this island are more powerful than the other islands. We advise players Level 100+ to team up before entering.

All the monsters on these islands have the chance to drop level 85+ weapons and equipment, and also the level 95 equipment box as well.
