Infogrames Zaps Looney Tunes(tm): Duck Dodgers(tm) Starring Daffy Duck(tm) For Nintendo® 64 Into Stores This Week.
Daffy Duck(tm) Stars In His Very Own Action-Adventure Game Based On The Looney Tunes Cartoon, 'Duck Dodgers & the 24th ½ Century.'
SAN JOSE, CA - August 15, 2000 - Dodgers. Duck Dodgers. Infogrames announced today that it is bringing one of the world's favorite ducks, Daffy Duck(tm), to most major retail stores this week in Looney Tunes: Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck for the Nintendo 64 game console. It's up to Duck Dodgers, savior of the Universe (and master klutz), to stop Marvin the Martian(tm) from his diabolical plan of destroying the Earth. Grab your ray guns and help Daffy save the Earth!
Marvin has built the Ultimate Weapon as part of his Diabolical Plan to wipe out our planet. But there's just one small problem... he doesn't have the energy to power his new toy! To get it, Marvin sends his minions out to the nearby planets to collect energy atoms. Lucky for us, our klutzy hero, Duck Dodgers, and his trusty sidekick Porky Pig(tm), are ready to take on Marvin and his minions.
'Looney Tunes: Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck gives players the feeling of actually being in a Looney Tunes cartoon by providing a truly living environment -- just about everything in the game is interactive,' said Mike Markey, vice president of marketing for Infogrames' San Jose Label. 'Daffy's hilarious witicisms and klutzy antics will keep children of all ages engaged for hours on end.'
'Infogrames has done a fantastic job of bringing the Looney Tunes characters to life,' said Michael Harkavy, Vice President, Warner Bros. Worldwide Publishing, Kids' WB! Music, Interactive Entertainment. 'This is yet another example of the great product that grows from the extraordinary relationship between Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Infogrames.'
Players will waddle through five huge worlds, each world featuring varied gameplay, such as sewage surfing and silly boss encounters. On one planet, players will discover an arcade filled with mini-games. Here, players can put their skills to the test with a Pong-style tennis match, a basketball game and a shooting gallery, not to mention Daffy's very own take on the popular game, Quake, entitled 'Quack.' In addition, our cartoon pals will be armed with gizmos galore, including the ACME(tm) jetpack, raygun, boxing gloves, and Instant Martian(tm) decoys to aid them in their quest to foil Marvin's plan.
Developed by Paradigm Entertainment, Looney Tunes: Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck is available at an estimated retail price of $49.99 and can be found at most major retail outlets.
