Nancy Drew Teen Detective Debuts on Nintendo DS

The Teen Super Sleuth Makes Her Nintendo DS Debut as Majesco Entertainment Ships 'Nancy Drew: The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park'

Majesco an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the mass market, has announced the retail availability of Nancy Drew: The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park for the Nintendo DS. Developed by Gorilla Systems Co. and licensed from Simon & Schuster, Nancy Drew captures the mystery of the series in an all-new story written exclusively for the premier portable gaming system.

With her aspirational character traits of independence, intelligence and resourcefulness, Nancy Drew is enjoying a renaissance with today's girls," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. "We believe this classic character is well-suited for the growing female Nintendo DS audience looking for new interactive experiences."

Olde World, a multimillion dollar vacation spot celebrating the peak of history's greatest civilizations, is the brainchild of billionaire industrialist Thaddeus Belmont. On the eve of Olde World's opening, the usually boisterous billionaire hasn't been seen or heard from in days, and it's up to Nancy to unravel his mysterious disappearance.

In Nancy Drew: The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park, players assume the role of the classic teenage super sleuth. Players must collect clues, decipher puzzles, follow suspects, sneak into areas and much more as they use their deductive reasoning skills to progress through 13 increasingly difficult chapters in graphic novel format. Touch Screen play is incorporated into unique conversation and unlocking mini-games, but players will also use the stylus in Nancy's Clue Journal to access inventory and tasks.

Rated E for Everyone, Nancy Drew: The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park is available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $29.99. More information about the game can be found online at the official game site: www.NancyDrewDS.com.
