Majesco
Entertainment Announces AWAY Shuffle Dungeon for Nintendo DS

Renowned Creative Talent
Contributes to Groundbreaking New RPG

Majesco Entertainment Company in
partnership with leading developers Mistwalker and AQ Interactive today
announced premier RPG AWAY Shuffle Dungeon for Nintendo DS. Players take control
of the young hero "Sword," the sole resident left of the once booming Webb
Village, who must rescue as many kidnapped townsfolk as possible from a
mysterious unknown that has been slowly "spiriting them away." AWAY Shuffle
Dungeon includes creative contributions from renowned industry visionaries: RPG
creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, character designer Naoto Oshima and composer Nobuo
Uematsu.

"We are very excited to be working
with the collective creative talent of Hironobu Sakaguchi, Naoto Oshima and
Nobuo Uematsu," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. "Their
experience creating high quality, best-selling games means that AWAY will be
well-positioned for success when it hits retail this fall."

In AWAY Shuffle Dungeon, an unknown
force has stripped Webb Village of its residents, and now the sole heroic
survivor, Sword, must rescue the stolen villagers from the ominous dungeons as
he strives to expose and defeat the mysterious thief. Sword must first collect
and use various objects including musical instruments to reveal the secret
dungeons where prisoners are being held. But successfully saving them is another
challenge altogether given a unique timed "shuffle" mechanic that reconfigures
the dungeon prisons and hurts Sword and any survivors still caught within when
the time runs out. Saved villagers will lend assistance to Sword’s quest, as
will the magical ‘Fupongs’ and dungeon treasure he finds that lets him shop in
the village specialty stores for armor, weapons, health, medical aid and more.

AWAY Shuffle Dungeon allows players
to navigate in both the 2D Shuffle Dungeons and the 3D Webb Village, and
features voice-over cinematics that breathe life into the characters in this
extraordinary mystery.
