SANTA CLARA, Calif., (June 7, 2011) – Leading video game
publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. has
combined its Zords to announce
Power Rangers™ Samurai
coming to Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ systems for
Holiday 2011. The title will bring a new generation of
Rangers to life, as players utilize teamwork and the ancient
Samurai Symbols of Power to battle the evil forces of the
netherworld.
Based on Saban Brands’ incredibly popular
Power Rangers Samurai TV show on Nickelodeon, players of
all ages will finally be able to join the Rangers as they
physically immerse themselves into the morphing action of the
iconic team of heroes.
“There are few other long-standing cultural icons as
influential as the Power Rangers with their spirit of heroism,
teamwork, and physical fitness,” said Vice President of
Marketing at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., Carlson Choi.
“For the millions of fans that have grown up with the Rangers
over the last two decades, or for parents looking for high quality
entertainment with a positive message for their children,
we’re incredibly excited to bring this franchise to a new
generation of players in a way that truly allows everyone to
experience what it means to be a Ranger.”
Power Rangers Samurai
will let fans wield the Samuraizer to master the elements
of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest, and Earth as they morph into Red,
Blue, Pink, Green, or Yellow Rangers. Martial arts training
and fitness combined with team based battles teach the importance
of team work, friendship, and responsibility to battle hordes of
Nighlok monsters. Players can also unlock secret passageways,
access hidden levels, and get hints on how to defeat the armies of
evil while collecting enough Zords to gain the Samurai Megazord
needed to take down the MegaMonster once and for all.
