Koei jumps onboard to deliver games for Nintendo and Sony's new handhelds
Burlingame, CA and Los Angeles, CA - May 12, 2004 - KOEI, the premier brand of console-based strategy and simulation games, today announced it's official support for Sony's PSP portable entertainment system and the Nintendo DS in North America. KOEI Corporation's parent company, KOEI Co.,Ltd. is planning to develop titles based on the company's best-selling Dynasty Warriors series of Tactical Action games.
"KOEI has always looked upon the release of a new game system as an opportunity to develop fresh and exciting titles that reflect consumers' desires," said, Mr. Kiyoshi Komatsu, President & COO of KOEI Co., Ltd. "We certainly look forward to providing games that take advantage of the new platforms' respective features."
The title under development for PSP will utilize the full spectrum of the anticipated system's technologies, while the 3D graphics promise a gameplay experience faithful to KOEI's console-based Tactical Action games.
Taking full advantage of the Nintendo DS's unique characteristics, KOEI's Nintendo DS title will be unlike any other Tactical Action game previously released.
Both titles are still in their planning stages, and additional details will be made available at a later date.
