LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - November 23, 2009) - Aristocrat has launched two new game titles
in conjunction with SEGA® Corporation as part of a co-development agreement
between the companies. The new games incorporate characters from the
classic SEGA games Bonanza Brothers™ and Golden Axe™ and made their world
premiere as slot games at the recent Global Gaming Expo.
Aristocrat's Chief Marketing Officer Paul Kitchin said, "In late August, we
announced that we would be developing content in more innovative ways,
including through third party collaboration. Our relationship with SEGA is
an early example of this approach, and we are very excited about its
potential."
Kitchin continued, "We have been working closely with SEGA on these two
games. SEGA has designed the graphics as an extension of their classic
titles and our games studios have provided artistic direction and the core
mathematical game design. Bonanza Brothers and Golden Axe use a range of
characters from the original SEGA video arcade games, providing strong
nostalgic appeal. We look forward to engaging customers around these games'
exciting features."
Chief Game Producer of SEGA AM1 Yasuhiro Nishiyama said, "We are excited to
release two of our most popular titles to the gaming market in cooperation
with Aristocrat. We hope that this will be the first of many opportunities
for us to demonstrate our creativity in the gaming market."
The games will be available for sale in the first quarter 2010, subject to
regulatory approval.
The new games are two of more than 200 games Aristocrat showed at G2E.
