NATSUME’S MAGICAL PRINCESS DEBUT
FOR NINTENDO DS DANCES ONTO RETAIL SHELVES

Natsume’s Brand New IP Allows
Girls To Experience the World of a Princess

Natsume, a worldwide developer and
publisher of family-oriented video games, announced today that Princess Debut
for the Nintendo DS has officially shipped to retail for an MSRP of $29.99.
Princess Debut continues Natsume’s commitment to publishing family-friendly
interactive entertainment. Perfect for girls of all ages and skill levels, the
rhythm and adventure title offers girls the chance to step into an enchanting
world where they are the princess of a magical kingdom.

"Parents looking for an
age-appropriate video game either right now or as a holiday gift this year need
to look no farther than the DS section of their local video game store," said
Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume. "Princess Debut is the perfect
addition to any family’s library of Nintendo DS titles. The game has a wonderful
story, fun characters, and some of the most beautiful and fluid dancing ever
seen in any game."

In the game, players find themselves
in a fantasy world where they have 30 days to get ready for the big ball;
they’ll have to master their dance moves and win over one of the six handsome
princes to be their partner. They’ll meet and woo the princes through the game’s
large, branching storyline. Once the player convinces a prince to be their
dancing partner, it’s time to go out on the dance floor! By utilizing the Touch
Screen, players guide their character gracefully across the dance floor while
matching their partner’s rhythm. All of the dances in the game are taken from
motion-captured professional dancers, so the game is just as impressive to watch
as it is fun to play.

Princess Debut offers four modes of
play including Story, Ballroom, Practice, and Movie. With 20 outfits to find, 14
unique endings to experience, and 18 different kinds of music and dance styles
to choose from (including Waltz, Latin Dance, Tango, Ballroom, and much more),
there’s no shortage of things to see and do!

Princess Debut is the perfect
holiday gift for any girl who has always dreamed of becoming a princess and
finding her own Prince Charming! Princess Debut is now available exclusively for
the Nintendo DS.

Princess Debut is rated E for
Everyone by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).
