SAN FRANCISCO (February 7, 2006) – SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced the release of The Rub Rabbits!™ exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ system. The Rub Rabbits!
delivers an all new "rub comedy" adventure that
leverages the unique touch-screen and voice recognition interface on
the DS hardware by delivering quirky original music, stylized art, and
many new features and multiplayer modes.
Developed by the creators of Feel the Magicâ„¢, The Rub Rabbits!
challenges gamers to switch from tapping and rubbing to screaming and
blowing as a means of controlling character actions. Four brand new
multiplayer modes are
available including the Hullabaloo Mode in which you and multiple
friends get finger-tied in rounds of "Twister," the Baby Making Mode in
which you and a friend can cut a cake to test your compatibility, and
the Connect Mode where you can
play any of six downloadable multiplayer games with up to four friends.
"SEGA delivers on the innovative gameplay and robust content that DS
owners love, inspiring gamers to get creative and hands-on with The Rub Rabbits!"
said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America,
Inc. "This
game pushes the limits of the DS technology by fully integrating all of
the DS's features into the gameplay -- stylus, touch pad, microphone,
and dual screens."
Getting the girl is never easy, especially when competing against 12
other rivals. The hero must not only battle his rivals but also win the
affection of his love interest, and that's just the beginning of his
troubles! The Rub Rabbits!
offers over 35 chapters in Story Mode; a newly expanded Memories
Mode, which tests your skills at clearing all stages for added bonuses;
and Maniac Mode which is packed with character customization options.
The Rub Rabbits! is now available at GameStop, EB Games, Toys
"R" Us, Fry's and Game Crazy. For screenshots and artwork, please visit
