14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom Interactive, announced the development of four new mobile titles including mobile versions of the seminal Mega Man II and Street Fighter II, an all music version of their Who Wants To Be A Millionaire mobile game dubbed Millionaire Music Edition, as well as Shade II, a new massively multiplayer mobile game that allows players to play online across mobile networks. The announcement was made at the company's annual Gamer's Day event held last week in San Francisco.
Shade II is set in a fantasy world, and was the first mobile game to incorporate a full featured massively multiplayer role playing experience onto a handset. Shade II will expand the existing world and bring many exciting new features to the already deep gameplay. The robust character creation system allows the player to specialize in melee weapons, ranged weapons, spells or healing attributes through play as opposed to assigning character points. Additionally, the game will support advanced MMO features such as boats and steeds for fast travel, PVP as well as cooperative modes of play, community features such as clan naming and private messaging, tons of loot and of course massive environments to explore. Shade II is expected to be available on BREW and Java handsets in Q1 of '08.
Mega Man II is the classic action platformer that defined the genre. As the robotic blue bomber, Mega Man, the player must battle through 14 levels and defeat eight robot masters before tackling the nefarious Dr. Wily. Mega Man II will be available this June for both BREW and Java handsets.
Street Fighter II tests your mettle against the greatest fighters in the world including Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, E Honda, Blanka, Zangief, Guile and Dhalsim. Built from the ground up to play fast and frenetic on today's handsets, this classic fighter is a carbon copy of the arcade legend, with all the moves, sounds and combinations that define the franchise. Street Fighter II will be available this June for both BREW and Java handsets.
Millionaire Music Edition tests players' knowledge of all things music with 1,000 mind-bending questions. Like the syndicated TV show, the game begins with common knowledge $100 questions and culminates with $1 million questions to challenge even true devotees of the genre. To help players progress through the game, four lifelines are available including - "Ask the Audience," "50:50," "Phone a Friend" and the recently added "Switch a Question." Millionaire Music Edition will ship in mid-May for BREW and Java handsets.
