Blender Bros. for GBA Ships to Retail



INFOGRAMES INTRODUCES BLENDER BROS. FOR GAME BOY® ADVANCE


Japanese Super Hero Blender
Swings Into New Handheld Adventure

BEVERLY,
Mass. – April 16, 2002 – From Infogrames, Inc  (Nasdaq: IFGM) straight to a
Nintendo Game Boy Advance near you comes Blender, a mutant dog with super long
ears, in his first adventure for a handheld video game system: Blender
Bros.


Blender, leader of the Cosmos Keepers, must battle to save the
universe from the evil Zooligans with the help of his allies the “Mini-Bros.”
Blender is looking for new Cosmos Keeper recruits as Blender Bros.
ships to game software retailers today.

Blender
Bros.
will be fun for all fans of the Game Boy Advance that like great
action gaming on the go,” said Steve Arthur, director of brand marketing for
Infogrames’ Beverly studio.  “The game has endearing characters and Blender’s
ability to manipulate his environment with his long ears offers players
something really unique on the Game Boy Advance.”

Blender uses
his super long ears to grab items, fight and fly through seven multi-level
planets with widely varying terrain in search of Buffer-Kong, leader of the
Zooligans.  The Mini-Bros. that he finds along the way give Blender extra powers
and help in the quest to defeat the Zooligans.  Mini-games add to the gameplay
with multi-player capabilities using one cartridge and the Game Boy Advance Game
Link® cable.

Blender
Bros.

was developed by Infogrames Hudson, is rated ‘E’ for Everyone and carries a
recommended retail price of $29.99.
