Gunpey Confirmed

NAMCO BANDAI announced that Gunpey is heading to retail shelves this holiday season in the US. From the mind of game industry legend Gunpei Yokoi and Q Entertainment, comes Gunpey, an exciting, innovative and challenging puzzle game with dynamic music that changes as you play. Gamers will remember Q Entertainment as the company that brought us Meteos, and Lumines to the US as well.

“Addictive and easy-to-learn, Gunpey was originally conceived by Game Boy creator and legendary game developer Gunpei Yokoi. It has now been re-imagined by the creative minds at Q Entertainment in a perfect dream collaboration that should excite any hardcore gamer,” said Naruo Uchida, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.’s Product Group Director. “This title embraces the signature touches of a product conceived by Yokoi. It is accessible, original, and intuitive, yet a challenge to master. Additionally, it combines the ground breaking music integration that has become Q Entertainment’s signature.”

Gunpey was originally released on the Wonderswan game system. This game tests your reflexes, stretches your mind and dazzles your senses. Like most puzzle games Gunpey has a simple, yet provocative game play mechanic. Players attempt to line up tiles across five columns to make them disappear.

Look for versions of Gunpey on the Sony PSP, and the Nintendo DS later this year.
