Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy Now In Stores In North America

SAN FRANCISCO, USA – November 24, 2009 – Ubisoft® today announced that its ground-breaking new fitness title, Your Shape(TM) Featuring Jenny McCarthy is now available at retail. Leveraging an entirely new, motion-sensing camera peripheral for the Wii(TM) system from Nintendo, Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy is the first fitness video game that enables people to experience a comprehensive workout controller-free.

The camera, which is included with the game, provides a completely personalized and interactive workout by scanning players’ bodies, assessing their current fitness level and then projecting their images onto the TV. Once the player completes an initial fitness test, the game is able to completely personalize their workout routine to their fitness level as well as their personal fitness goals and schedule. And, with the innovative new motion-tracking technology, the game is able to follow a player’s movements as they workout, and guide them in real time so that they know whether or not they’re doing the exercises correctly.

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the Classic Nintendo Entertainment System Game Makes its Triumphant Return November 23

EDISON, N.J., November 23, 2009 – Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced that A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is now available for download on Virtual Console™. The classic Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES™) puzzle-platformer celebrates its 20th anniversary by challenging a new generation of gamers as it arrives on Wii™ for the first time. The original game has been one of the most influential in history and inspired the critically acclaimed reimagining of the tale for Wii™ – a boy and his blob -developed by WayForward Technologies earlier this fall.

Taking place in 2001 (the future from its original release), the game’s touching storyline begins when an Evil Emperor imprisons the inhabitants of Blobolonia. One brave soul by the name of Blob, full name Blobert, escapes his home planet looking for help. He crash-lands on Earth only to find a young boy. Luckily, when the Boy feeds Blobert flavored jellybeans, the blob transforms into various helpful shapes such as the Licorice Ladder, Fruit-Punch Hole and Hummingbird Honey. Using the magical candy and teamwork, the duo sets out to free Blobolonia and vanquish the Evil Emperor as they traverse through the head-scratching, side-scrolling puzzle action that has become legend in the annals of videogame history.

“Well, I should say that it could be taken as a compliment if others are following suit, by saying Nintendo was right in choosing a certain direction. But if you ask me if that is going to be good for the entire business, I really don’t know. If everyone else is going to do exactly the same thing, unfortunately in this entertainment business that means less uniqueness, and uniqueness is what Nintendo has tried to realise. We don’t look to the future in one direction only. When you say that one element of our uniqueness might have been lost, you don’t really have to be concerned about that, because Nintendo always tries to find something new. I hope you are looking forward to our challenge to discover this new uniqueness!” – Shigeru Miyamoto

I feel like with each new Nintendo handheld or console, the company is always trying to innovate. Both the Wii and DS received heavy skepticism when they were initially revealed. Heck, even I admit that I was skeptical! Yet the uniqueness that Nintendo has provided the industry has been fantastic and something tells me that we’ll see something special for the next system.
