| Source: Capcom Interactive
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - January 14, 2009) - Capcom® Mobile, a leading developer and
publisher of mobile games, today announced the availability of "Who Wants
To Be A Millionaire" for the iPhone and iPod Touch on the Apple App Store.
Based on the recent update to the iconic gameshow, Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire shakes-up the hot seat with new rules, new lifelines and faster
gameplay.
Capitalizing on the platform's advanced technologies, "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire" features new high-resolution art, authentic sounds and
animations taken right from the show, as well as full motion video of
Meredith Vieira as show host.
"This is the best looking Millionaire mobile game to date," said Midori
Yuasa, President, Capcom Interactive, Inc. "'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'
for the iPhone and iPod touch has all the fantastic gameplay that made the
series a household name, but with an all-new look that's sure to be the
final answer in trivia."
Like the hit show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire challenges players to
correctly answer 15 questions of progressive difficulty with the help of
four lifelines -- Ask the Audience, Phone a Friend and the newly added
Double Dip and Ask the Expert. Ten actual "Experts" from the show provide
answers to the mobile game's 900 questions. Players can now see the
subject categories of all 15 questions in each game, adding a new layer of
strategy to lifelines. Additionally, a game clock keeps the action fast
and fun as contestants are able to bank unused time for the million-dollar
question.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is available from Apple's App Store on iPhone
and iPod Touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
