LANGHORNE, Pa., July 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Casual games developer and publisher eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EGAM) today announced the finalization of an agreement with console partner Destineer to publish Nintendo DS(tm) and Wii(tm) versions of fashion-themed casual game Satisfashion(r) in late 2009. Released across major casual game portals in 2008 including an exclusive period on Big Fish Games, Satisfashion follows Burger Island(r) as eGames' second DS and Wii collaboration with Destineer.
"Through publishing Burger Island for DS and Wii, eGames and Destineer forged a terrific working relationship," said eGames Vice President, Sales and Marketing Rich Siporin. "We are delighted to extend the relationship to another of our proprietary brands in Satisfashion."
Satisfashion puts players in the stylish shoes of up-and-coming fashion designer Grace Styles. Under the tutelage of Niles, the founder of world-renowned design firm Satisfashion, the player must dress and manage a collection of high-strung models, preparing them for fashion shows spanning the globe from Milan to Paris to Tokyo. Buyers invited to the shows bid on each featured clothing line, supplying Grace with the resources to enhance Satisfashion operations and churn out new breath-taking designs.
"Destineer is proud to continue working with eGames to bring quality family-friendly games to Wii and Nintendo DS," said Destineer CEO Paul Rinde. "Satisfashion merges fashion with accessible gameplay, and the result is a game that's sure to be a hit on both platforms."
