November 16, 2004 - Ignition Entertainment has revealed that it will release Zoo Keeper for the Nintendo DS for North American audiences. The game, a Success-published launch title for the Japanese market, will ship in the US in late December.

Zoo Keeper, not to be confused with the classic 80s arcade game of the same name, is a touch-screen puzzle design that challenges players to pair up groups of animals as they stack up on the play screen. This game will feature Wireless connectivity for two players, only requiring one copy of the game for multiplayer.

The US version will have a MSRP of $39.99.

"Zoo Keeper is perfectly suited for the Nintendo DS with its use of both the Touch Screen and wireless communication capability," says Ken Gratz, Product Manager, Director of Product Development at Ignition USA. "Its simple-yet-addictive gameplay will appeal to young and old alike, much like the Nintendo DS itself."

"Ignition is a small, but focused team of passionate gamers who have shown the ability to cherry pick quality games," adds Mr. Yoshinari, President of SUCCESS. "And we are delighted to be given the chance to work with such a team."
