LOS ANGELES - Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) Booth #800 - May 12, 2004 - Konami Digital Entertainment - America, a division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it will release the first two video games, Shaman King™: Power of Spirit for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system and Shaman King™: Master of Spirits for the Nintendo's Game Boy® Advance in August 2004. Based on the popular Shaman King television series, trading card game and comic books, these action-packed, anime-style games bring the exciting world and characters from the 4Kids Entertainment's FOX BOX (NYSE: KDE) TV series to life in a fully interactive video game.
"The unique characters, style and compelling story lines in the Shaman King animated series have given us a rich background to work with for these video games," said Erica Mason, product manager, Konami Digital Entertainment - America. "Shaman King for the PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance provides fans with a new and unique way to experience the world of Shaman King."
Shaman King follows the story of Yoh Asakura, a junior high student hiding an amazing secret. Yoh is a shaman, one of the few who can communicate with ghosts and spirits. Through his powers, Yoh can join forces with another spirit uniting ghost and human together as one. Yoh teams up with Amidamaru, the spirit of a 600 year-old samurai warrior and with this powerful union, Yoh begins his quest to be crowned Shaman King in the Grand Tournament held only once every 500 years!
Featuring an all-new story, including characters from the animated series and exclusive characters not seen in the TV show or comic book, Shaman King: Power of Spirit (PlayStation 2) provides a fun mix of strategic adventure and fighting strategy. Power of Spirit finds Yoh and his friends robbed of their shamanic powers by a mysterious force - the Fourth Millennium - that is plotting to control the Earth. A beautiful 3D graphics engine, animation and CGI movies bring the characters and story to life as Yoh and his companions implement multiple fighting styles and strategies to take out enemies and defeat the nefarious Fourth Millennium.
Shaman King: Master of Spirits (Game Boy Advance) features an original adventure where Yoh must fight his way through multiple stages filled with enemies and traps in order to stop an evil shaman from resurrecting the Guardian of Demons. Characters from the TV show and comics will appear along the way to help or hinder Yoh as he traverses numerous stages and branching paths that enhance the gameplay experience.
Introduced in Japan in 1998, Shaman King has become a phenomenal success with more than 20 million comic books and more than 165 million trading cards sold. The Shaman King animated series debuted on the FOX BOX in fall 2003 in the U.S.
