PARIS, March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Gameloft, a leading global publisher of digital and social games, joins the European launch of the Nintendo 3DS system with its first title, Asphalt 3D, on March 25. Gameloft, the developer of Asphalt 3D, has assigned in-store distribution to Ubisoft, with distribution in Japan managed by Konami. Gameloft will expand its catalog of downloadable games when the Nintendo eShop launches for the 3DS.

“The Nintendo 3DS system offers developers new tools to create unique game experiences on a mobile console,” said Michel Guillemot, president of Gameloft. “At the height of technology, with glasses free 3D viewing and the ability to connect players in unique ways, the 3DS allows us to offer fresh and attractive gameplay for new communities of players.”

With its unique functionalities, exceeding current gaming standards, the 3DS brings new features to video games and offers an exclusive community experience.
