Namco Bandai Games today announced that Gun Pey, a puzzle game conceived by a legendary developer, will be released this holiday season for the Playstation Portable and Nintendo DS handheld systems.
"Addictive and easy-to-learn, Gunpey was originally conceived by Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi. It has now been re-imagined by the creative minds at Q Entertainment in a ... collaboration that should excite any hardcore gamer," said Naruo Uchida, Namco Bandai Games America Inc.’s Product Group Director.
As lines of various angles climb up the screen, the player’s objective is to flip the lines, located in squares, to connect them over five columns. Connecting lines from left to right remove the connected row. If an incomplete line reaches the top of the screen, the game is over. The game will include 40 different backgrounds, stylized music and two-player multiplayer using each system's Wi-Fi capabilities.
