Foto Showdown Announced
El Segundo, Calif. - Nov. 23, in the year of our Lord
2009 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today
announced Foto Showdown for Nintendo DSi™. Players utilize the
Nintendo DSi's camera functionality to snap photos and
incorporate them directly into the gameplay in this action
packed, battle tested RPG for kids of all ages.
Foto Showdown allows
players to snap photos with the Nintendo DSi which uses advanced
color recognition to spawn monsters based on the dominant colors
in those photos. Players pit their battle tested monsters
against rivals in no-holds-barred turn based duels that put the
unique powers of each monster to the test. As players progress
through more than 100 levels, winning tournaments and beating
opponents, they'll be able to upgrade their powers, purchase
more powerful weapons, add medicine and tools providing the
ability to wreak greater havoc on their duelist partner! The
longer you play the stronger you get.
"With Foto Showdown,
Konami continues to bring innovative games to the market that
allows consumers the opportunity to play a more active role in
how the game progresses and develops," said David Daniels,
Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "The
built-in camera of Nintendo DSi lends itself perfectly to the
gameplay, encouraging creative photography, where the photos
have lasting effects on the total experience limited only by the
users imagination."
Players can
simultaneously fight with up to six monsters at a time and
become progressively stronger as they win battles, ultimately
collecting up to 152 different monsters each with unique
abilities. Players will be thrust into fast and furious
tournaments and compete to win three kinds of cameras that open
new levels and new monsters. Visit the store to buy or sell
monsters and purchase an array of upgrades and equipment making
your collection of monsters a fearless force of destruction.
Connecting via local wireless connection allows gamers to
unleash a multiplayer face-off or swap battle hardened monsters
from their decks.
Foto Showdown is
scheduled for release in Q1 2010 for Nintendo DSi.
