Posted on 17 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
2K Play, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced two new titles as a part of its brand extension strategy for its highly popular Carnival Games series. The new titles include Carnival Games for Nintendo DS, which is scheduled to ship this summer, and Carnival Games: Mini-Golf, an all-new game exclusive to the Wii home video game system, which will debut later in the year. 2K Play is also announcing that its flagship Carnival Games title has reached a milestone shipment of one million units worldwide, while remaining a regular fixture in the Chart Track top five (Wii chart).
“The success of Carnival Games is proof that the casual game market continues to grow,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “We are actively working to expand the 2K Play label and are committed to producing fun, quality games for the mass market, with the Carnival Games franchise paving the way.”
“The consumer response to Carnival Games has been extraordinary,” said Steve Lux, vice president of business development for 2K Play. “The game resonates with every demographic, and the feedback we have received from mums, dads, kids and grandparents shows Carnival Games as one of the drivers of family gaming. Our new games build on the strength of the first title and will promote this growing trend.”
