505 Games, an international publishing and distribution company famous for Cooking Mama, ArmA: Armed Assault, Bust-a-Move and Armored Core, has today announced its aim to make its portfolio wider by publishing a Mind, Body and Soul gaming pack for Nintendo Wii and DS. The pack is the first one of a new brand of gaming, which will improve users’ lives, while making them enjoy.
“We are confident the Mind, Body & Soul. range offers something different to entice those users who perhaps don’t consider themselves ‘gamers’”, said Alex Price, Senior Global Brand Manager for 505 Games. “The Mind, Body and Soul range is all about life enhancement. It enables people to improve their everyday lives while having fun at the same time.”
Nutrition Matters will provide players a system to track their net calorific gains and losses through exercise and dieting. Its powerful and extensive nutrition database lets users easily manage their diet, set their own targets over any period; the application will use the regular updates to monitor the diet progress. The included nutrition reference guide can be used to plan some extra dinners (or Sunday lunches), not to make players lose their accomplished improvements. The Wii version of course supports Nintendo’s balance board, which can be used to set goals and monitor progresses to build a perfect body.
Big World Puzzle Book (for Nintendo DS) is an interactive word based puzzle game. It of course includes the all-time classic word style, but others have been purpose-made for the game. Each game is divided into more than 1,000 levels; this way longevity is assured, and even longered by some multiplayer modes and a scalable difficulty levels. The game also include a tutorial for newbies.
Last but not least, Mind Storm 2 (to be released for Nintendo DS) is the sequel to the best seller game developed by Ask Co. Ltd. The user will excersise every corner of his brain, by playing any kind of brain teasing games, from logic puzzles to analytical conundrums. Each one of the 12 games has five difficulty levels, in order to longer the experience and to wider players’ age range.
Mind Storm 2 and Big Word Puzzle Book are planned to be released for Nintendo DS in early April, while Nutrition Matters for Nintendo DS and Wii is scheduled to be released in mid May.
