The world’s most celebrated Super Hero, Spider-Man, is swinging into retail stores nationwide in Activision, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Spider-Man 2 for the Nintendo DS™ video game platform. The game, which is based on this summer’s blockbuster feature film from Columbia Pictures and Marvel, is among the first titles to hit retail stores alongside the Nintendo DS hardware.

“There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for the Nintendo DS and we are excited to be among the launch titles for this innovative new platform,” said Kathy Vrabeck, president of Activision Publishing. “Spider-Man 2 takes advantage of the Nintendo DS’s processing power by delivering amazing graphics and sound, and gameplay that fully realizes the potential of the dual screen.”

Players assume the role of Spider-Man and re-live the movie experience through all new missions featuring unique enemies, objectives and combat maneuvers.

Utilizing the touch screen and new controller layout, players can quickly swing, run, jump, solve puzzles, engage in combat and switch to an arsenal of moves on the fly, while patrolling and protecting the city of Manhattan from the nefarious Doc Ock.

Spider-Man 2 for the Nintendo DS is being developed by Vicarious Visions and is currently rated “E” (Everyone) by the ESRB.
