LUS U.S.A., INC. ANNOUNCES "CONTACT" FOR THE NINTENDO DS

An Offbeat Action RPG Packed with Hunting, Cooking, Fishing, Training, Collecting,
and Romance!

IRVINE, CA - March 3, 2006 - Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive
entertainment, today announced the acquisition of the North American publishing
rights to Contact, an action role-playing game for the Nintendo DS. Developed
in Japan by Marvelous Interactive Inc., Contact is scheduled for release in the
summer of 2006.

"Contact is the rare breed of quirky RPG that attracts a rabid fanbase with its
whacked-out story, setting, and characters," said Tomm Hulett, Project Lead for
Atlus U.S.A., Inc. "I'm excited that gamers will be able to spread the fever
to thousands of others with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection."

Contact has not yet been rated by the ESRB.


ABOUT CONTACT

The klaxon alarm is shrieking! Something is wrong! The Professor wrestles his
damaged spaceship to a crash landing on a mysterious planet.

In the aftermath of the crash, The Professor discovers that the power sources
of his ship, known as Cells, have been scattered across the surface of this strange
world. To retrieve them all, The Professor enlists the aid of a brave young man
named Terry--and a brave video game player known as you! The Professor and Terry
will ask for your help during the course of the adventure, using the Nintendo
DS to "contact" you along the way.

Will The Professor gather the Cells and return to outer space? Will you learn
the goal of the mysterious organization that seeks to gather the Cells for itself?

The future of an entire world has been placed in your hands!


CONTACT KEY FEATURES

* Abundant gameplay activities including animal-training, item-collecting, monster-hunting,
and old-school mini-games!
* Dual-screen functionality with mission maps, interior/exterior viewpoints,
and more!
* Real-time combat with special abilities and powerful "Decal Attacks"!
* Character design by Atsuko Fukushima, whose credits include the PSP hit PoPoLoCrois!

Best publisher in North America. For the record, my last avatar was from contact. I'll post some artwork and stuff I was sent sometime tonight.

Oh, and when this game was announced I basically treated it as a game in the genetic lineage of Mother/Earthbound. You have reason to be stoked.

Hooray Atlus!

Atlus is the only company I'll preorder from more than two months out. Even if they almost never give away preorder goodies. I <3 their localization choices. I don't pick up EVERYTHING by them but for the most part, they make Schild a happy gamer. Now if only they'll announce devil Summoner and the PSP titles.
