Smash Hit Online Game “WordJong” Now Coming to
Nintendo DS™ From Destineer

Scrabble and Mahjong meet to create a hard-to-resist puzzle sensation in
WordJong, which is already one of the best-selling downloadable games online.
Now the Nintendo DS™ version from Destineer makes this smash hit even better
with DS-exclusive features like Daily Mode, Temple Challenge Mode, Local
Wireless and Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection multiplayer, and more!

WordJong features simple, yet engrossing
gameplay: Use a set of lettered tiles to create words, clearing the board as you
use tiles. Shoot for high-scoring words, earn bonus tiles, and attempt to clear
the board with no leftover letters. WordJong boasts several new features
exclusive to the Nintendo DS system, including:

  • Solo Play: Play through one of three
    highly addictive game modes. Choose a puzzle from the calendar and try to
    beat the computer’s high score in Daily Mode. Accumulate rank medals as you
    climb your way to the top in Temple Challenge Mode. Or, defeat each of the
    seven AI characters in head-to-head battles in Tournament Mode.

  • Multiplayer Modes: Go head-to-head
    with a friend over Local Wireless, or connect to the internet via Nintendo
    Wi-Fi Connection and take on players from around the world. Have a friend
    without the game? Use the DS Download Play option to gift a puzzle or play
    head-to-head using just one game!

  • Zodiac Characters: Take on stylized
    characters from the Chinese zodiac throughout all of the game modes. Each of
    the seven characters has his or her own personality and play style,
    representing a different difficulty level ranging from easy (the Rabbit) to
    hard (the Dragon).

  • Additional Features: WordJong features
    a 100,000+ word dictionary, loads of challenges and awards to acquire, full
    support for both the Control Pad and Touch Screen, and much, much more!

WordJong is developed by Magellan Interactive
from an original design by Gameblend Studios, and is scheduled for an October
2007 release, with a MSRP of $19.99.
