Press Your Luck® 2010 Edition Now on Store Shelves
SAN FRANCISCO – November 5, 2009 – Ubisoft today announced the official launch of Press Your Luck® 2010 Edition. Currently available for the Nintendo Wii(TM) system, the Nintendo DS(TM) system and Windows-based PC, Press Your Luck® 2010 Edition features single- or multiplayer modes so that more people can get in on the fun and play together. Additionally, the game allows players to design and customize their own personal avatar. The game has been created by Ludia and is licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME).
Press Your Luck® is a true-to-life revival of the famous game show from the 80’s rendered with a dynamic new design. Players assume the role of one of the three contestants competing to win by answering a series of trivia questions correctly, to earn “spins” on the Big Board of cash and prizes. All of the elements of the original TV game show, including thousands of general knowledge trivia questions to challenge players, are included, as well as animations of the memorably mischievous Whammy character to punctuate the game. Whichever player ends the game with the highest earnings wins, while successfully avoiding the dreaded Whammy or risk losing it all. Additionally, there are a host of special unlockable items to reward players for progress in the game.

Dragon Quest IX will be marketed heavily in North America and Europe
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in DS, News | 3 Comments
After the smashing success of Dragon Quest IX in Japan (selling over 3m copies within the first couple of weeks), it’s no surprise that both Square Enix and Nintendo want the game to fare just as well overseas. Because of this, Nintendo has announced plans to work with Square Enix on the marketing for the game in North America and Europe. This may prove difficult however, as Dragon Quest games have not sold so well in the past overseas. Hopefully things will change this time around, because IX looks to be one of the better entries to the series!
In addition, Miyamoto expressed interest in the “Passerby Mode” from Dragon Quest, stating that he would be interested in creating a game around that feature for people to play outside of the house.
