SOUTHPEAK GAMES’ NINJATOWN
SHIPPING NOW FOR NINTENDO DS IN NORTH AMERICA

Help the Ninjas Defend Their
Dojos Against Mr. Demon and His Wee Devils

SouthPeak Games announced today that
its highly anticipated, award-winning Nintendo DS™ title Ninjatown has shipped
to retailers across the country. The title, developed by Venan Entertainment in
conjunction with Cashmere Productions and based on the world of Shawnimals plush
toys, features “action strategy” gameplay that is unlike anything else in
handheld games.

“It’s a dream come true to see the
world of Ninjatown come alive on Nintendo DS,” said Shawn Smith, founder of
Shawnimals and former editor at Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine.
“Collaborating with everyone on this game has been a pleasure and its immensely
satisfying to see it deliver on our original vision so faithfully.”

Players assume the role of Ol’
Master Ninja in defending Ninjatown after Mr. Demon and his minions launch a
surprise attack. Looking at Ninjatown from a top down perspective, players use
the Nintendo DS stylus to place a variety of Ninjas, each with their own fierce
yet adorable abilities, around maps in order to defeat the Wee Devil army that
Mr. Demon controls. The single player story mode includes over thirty-five maps
across nine districts and is fueled by an epic tale about tasty ninja cookies.

“Ninjatown raises the bar on the
growing strategy genre on DS,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “From
the story to the characters to the gameplay, the development team delivered a
highly addictive game with a fresh twist. Players will find themselves
immediately hooked. We are immensely excited to release this title.”

Ninjatown also features unique
multiplayer gameplay, where players can challenge one another using single or
multi-cart wireless modes. After choosing a map, both players are tasked with
defeating enemies as quickly as possible, and each can earn rewards and
power-ups that can quickly turn the tide on their opponent.

Ninjatown is available now for
$29.99 and is rated E for Everyone. For more information on Ninjatown visit
