Leading video games publisher and
developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that "One Piece(TM):
Pirates’ Carnival(TM)," an over-the-top party game for PlayStation(R)2 computer
entertainment system, is scheduled to ship this Spring. Featuring over 30
swash-buckling mini-games and up to four-player mayhem, "One Piece: Pirates’
Carnival" promises pie-eating contests, teeth-gritting battles on stilts, pirate
basketball, and other shenanigans that only Luffy and the One Piece crew can
dream up.

Based on the tremendously popular
graphic novels published by VIZ Media and the TV series airing on Cartoon
Network, "One Piece: Pirates’ Carnival" brings the crazy pirate party without
having to hit the ocean. Players can dominate the game board by defeating up to
three friends in a series of zany games guaranteed to tickle the funny bone of
the surliest of pirates. Gamers must evade bombs in a dodge ball field, locate
the Pandaman, out-maneuver giant feet and more to become King of the Pirates.
