Fruit Ninja Kinect Soars Past 1 Million XBLA Downloads
BRISBANE, Australia - Mar. 5, in the year of our Lord
2012 - Highly acclaimed game developer Halfbrick today
announced that its chart-topping Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) Kinect
title, Fruit Ninja Kinect, has exceeded the 1 million downloads
mark since its debut on XBLA in August 2011.
"Hitting 1 million downloads for XBLA is an awesome
achievement," said Phil Larsen, chief marketing officer at
Halfbrick. "It's a milestone that proves how with the right team
and vision, a mobile game can be expanded into a much bigger
franchise across new platforms and markets and be wildly
successful!"
Fruit Ninja Kinect was the number one title on XBLA's Summer of
Arcade series and 2011's "Best Casual Game" Interactive
Achievement award winner. With the simple yet addictive
mechanics that made Fruit Ninja such a breakout success on
mobile devices, Fruit Ninja Kinect stays true to the spirit of
the beloved title, while expanding players' experience with new
gameplay modes and unlockable content. Players use their arms
(and legs) to slice and swipe their way through the various game
modes -- Classic, Zen and Arcade -- to become the ultimate Fruit
Ninja. Fruit Ninja Kinect also has multiplayer functionality so
Fruit Ninjas can slice side-by-side or challenge one another.
Fruit Ninja Kinect is rated "E for Everyone" by the ESRB and is
currently available for download through Xbox LIVE Arcade for
800 MSP ($10 USD) for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment
system with Kinect™.
