CHICAGO – January 21, 2009
YUKE’S Company of America, a leading video game publisher, today announced that it has officially launched Akinai Games. The new division represents an ongoing, industry-wide shift toward downloadable game platforms, and its main area of focus will be on developing games for this distribution model. Akinai will be developing titles for various online platforms, including Nintendo’s WiiWare™ channel, Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE®, and Sony’s PlayStation®Network (PSN), while plans for PC and mobile device distribution are under consideration. The first title to carry the new Akinai Games brand will be Evasive Space, the upcoming WiiWare title developed by High Voltage Software, set for a February 2009 release.

Akinai Games’ mission is to embrace the future of gaming in today’s digital age, and to establish itself as an industry leader in providing fun and innovative downloadable titles across multiple gaming platforms. “Akinai,” in Japanese, is loosely translated to “keep entertained,” symbolic of the company’s effort to offer a variety of high quality and fun downloadable games. The company logo was inspired by the “Maneki Neko” or “Lucky Cat,” a traditional Japanese cat sculpture which is believed to bring good luck to its owners and is typically displayed at a storefront’s entrance. The arrows within the Akinai Games logo represent the uploading of video game entertainment for consumers to download and enjoy.

Locomotive Games, owned by THQ, had begun to work on Stuntman: Demolition for the Wii. The PS3/360 saw the release of Stuntman: Ignition, so the series would be able to continue and arrive on Nintendo’s system. The game would feature an ongoing story and characters. However, disappointing sales of Stuntman: Ignition caused THQ to cancel production on the game in addition to ending the franchise.
