MAKAI KINGDOM AVAILABLE AT NORTH AMERICAN RETAILERS Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system is in stores now Anaheim, Calif. (July 27, 2005) – NIS America, announced today that Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system has shipped to North American retailers and is in stores now. Makai Kingdom is the latest of Nippon Ichi Software’s beloved strategy RPG series that is developed by the core team that brought gamers Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Forget about all the strategy RPGs you have ever played before. Makai Kingdom redefines and sets a new standard for the genre. Makai Kingdom is also available with Double Jump’s official strategy guide, which includes battle tactics, walkthroughs, hints, and much more. About Makai Kingdom In an attempt to rewrite history gone terribly wrong, Lord Zetta, the ruler of netherworld, brought destruction upon himself. When all seemed lost, three evil overlords appeared before Lord Zetta to help him recreate his world. Now Lord Zetta wages war on a new world to become the supreme ruler once again, while the three overlords entertain themselves by creating more trouble for him. Players will take on the role of Lord Zetta and command an army of determined fighters to reclaim what was rightfully his, the Netherworld. Gamers will battle enemies ranging from vicious demons to driven soldiers with both modern and ancient warfare. Slash your enemies with the good old broadsword, or blast your way through with the deadly rocket launcher – the choices are yours. Makai Kingdom introduces a new INVITE system that summons your army-carrying facilities to the battlefield. Every facility summoned will contain your troops, which are then
deployed to battle your enemies. In Makai Kingdom, battle maps are randomly generated, offering a new gaming experience every time you play. With unlimited variations of maps, gamers can expect countless hours of gameplay.
