12 new Majesco titles set for PAL release up until 2009

The new partnership will focus on titles for DS and Wii, including Nanostray 2, Toy Shop, Cake Mania 2 and Nancy Drew: The Mystery of the Clue Bender Society for DS, and Wild Earth: African Safari, Our House and Cake Mania for Wii.

The deal also includes several unannounced games for both platforms, while PSP title Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship is also thrown into the deal.

“Majesco was looking for a pan-European partner who shares our belief in the strength, quality and depth of our product portfolio whilst contributing measurably to the energy, focus, talent and distribution breadth required to maximize their potential across the PAL territories,” said Jason Dutton managing director of Majesco Entertainment International.

“We are delighted that a publisher of Codemasters’ heritage and quality shares our perspective and we look forward to working with them in 2008 and beyond.”

“Codemasters has a dynamic network of established European offices and distribution bases that will extend Majesco’s product reach through PAL territories,” said chief operating officer of Codemasters Tony Williams. “This will be a very positive partnership given that Majesco has an exciting and diverse range of original and established titles that complements our European portfolio.”
