D3Publisher of America Launches WTF: work time
fun for the PSP
D3Publisher of America, Inc. (D3PA), will have
gamers everywhere shouting “WTF?” as D3PA announced today the release of WTF:
work time fun™ exclusively for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. WTF
offers a crazy collection of fun and addictive mini-games that drive players to
perform sometimes trivial, sometimes mind-bending, but always fun jobs in
pursuit of the almighty dollar. Players will spend their well-earned money in
the prize-vending machines on new “jobs,” trinkets and for the first time ever
on the PSP system, tools to use in the “real world” such as the World Clock,
Ramen Timer, and Flashlight. WTF is available now on store shelves across North
America with a suggested retail price of $29.95.
“Unique Japanese games have become a favorite
among North American gamers and WTF will be no exception,”, said Michael
Scharnikow, senior marketing manager, D3PA. “We have successfully maintained the
integrity of the game by making very minor gameplay tweaks during the
localization process, so gamers will experience the addictive, crazy
arcade-style action that is truly unique to the PSP system.”
Jam-packed with more than 40 wacked-out
mini-games such as Drunken Mayor, Private Number and Cliff Race 2000, WTF offers
simple and intuitive gameplay making it easy for anyone to pick-up and play.
Gamers will play through WTF solo or with a friend in five multiplayer games
using the wireless ad hoc mode for the PSP system. “Outsourcing” will allow
players to utilize only one copy of WTF to share games with friends through the
wireless ad hoc mode and enjoy the fruits of their friends’ labor by receiving
all the money the friends earn. After players have spent their money, they’ll
head back to “work” so they can earn more money to buy more stuff—much like
“real life” but much more fun!
WTF: work time fun was developed by Sony Computer
Entertainment Worldwide Studios, JAPAN Studio and is rated “T” (Teen – blood and
gore, crude humor, mild language, suggestive themes, use of alcohol, and
violence) by the ESRB.
