Video Gaming News - April 2004

Edison, NJ (April 21, 2004) - Majesco today announced plans to publish Ultra Bust-A-Move for the Xbox.

From Majesco:

The latest version from the addictive, bubble-bursting video game franchise features five new puzzle types, hundreds of puzzles and full Xbox(tm) Live support, including head-to-head play.

"The highly addictive game play of Ultra Bust-A-Move has established this franchise as a timeless classic and Majesco is pleased to bring the latest incarnation to the Xbox," said Ken Gold, Vice President of Marketing for Majesco. "With the opportunity for consumers to compete via Xbox Live and with the addition of advanced features such as a 3D puzzle mode, both long-time fans and newcomers to the franchise will enjoy the 2004 version."

In Ultra Bust-A-Move, players launch randomly colored balls from the bottom of the field in an attempt to attach them to bubbles of the same color. Once three bubbles of the same color are touching, they pop, causing all connected bubbles to drop. Players keep going until all the bubbles are gone.

Additionally, Xbox Live features such as Friends List, Voice and Xbox Live Aware will be supported. Players can also compete to be the top player through Ultra Bust-A-Move's Xbox Live Ranking system.

Developed by Taito, Ultra Bust-A-Move is scheduled to ship in the fall.
