Capcom to Bring Kemco’s Rogue Ops™ to Market in Europe and Australia

Bellevue, Wash. – October 2, 2003 – Kemco U.S.A. announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Capcom to serve as the distributor for the company’s highly anticipated action adventure title, Rogue Ops™, in the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia.  Set for release on Nintendo GameCube™, the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft this November, Rogue Ops™ exposes the story of ex-Green Beret Nikki Connors as she sets her vengeful sights on those responsible for murdering her family.

“Capcom has firmly established itself as a leading video games publisher worldwide,” said Mr. Futami, President of Kemco USA, Inc.  “We are extremely pleased that they will be assisting us in bringing what we believe is our best title yet to Europe and Australia.”

In Rogue Ops™, players will be challenged to successfully lead Nikki Connors against the malevolent forces of the terrorist group, Omega 19.  A highly trained and experienced counter-terrorist operative, Nikki is versed in a variety of weapons, self-defense and stealth maneuvers.  Players will take advantage of Nikki’s various experiences and capabilities by using her surrounding environment to hide in shadows, suspend from ceilings, seek refuge in lockers, hide bodies in empty crates to avoid detection from sentries and guards and so much more.

“Rogue Ops is a very strong title so it is great that Kemco has entrusted it to us,” said David Miller, Marketing Director CE Europe.   “We at CE Europe hope that this is just the beginning of a long term relationship between our two companies.”

Rogue Ops™ is slated for a Q4 2003 release, and has a suggested retail price of $49.99 and ç59.99.
