Neopets and Capcom Announce Puzzle Game with Virtual World Ties

Nickelodeon Kids and Family Group’s Neopets and Capcom announced a partnership today to develop, through Infinite Interactive,  a multi-platform puzzle game based on combining Neopets and the board game Reversi. Neopets Puzzle Adventure will come out this holiday season for the Nintendo DS, Wii, and PC, but it will extend the Web-based world's brand with a variety of Neopets regions, characters, and items. Players will also be able to earn codes that unlock exclusive items in the online Neopets world.

"As part of Neopets’ strategy to extend the property into a multiplatform brand, we are continuously giving our audiences new ways to play on and off of the site," said Kyra Reppen, Senior vice president and general manager, Neopets. "Our partnership with Capcom provides a new form of game play for Neopets that is relevant to the platforms our audience is using, and that complements the game play on the site."
