Nintendo DS Game Based on Hit Warner Bros. Animation Series Arrives with Four Unique Playable Characters, Outrageous Kung Fu Fighting Action and Thrilling Mini-Games

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced that Xiaolin Showdown, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has shipped to retail stores throughout North America for the Nintendo DS™. Based on the popular Warner Bros. Animation television series, the Xiaolin Showdown video game for Nintendo DS lets players embark on a mystical adventure packed with martial arts action as they attempt to recover valuable relics known as Shen Gong Wu and defeat the nefarious Jack Spicer and his army of evil robots.

On the quest to obtain the Shen Gong Wu, players will be able to take on the role of four young warriors: the well-rounded Omi, feisty Kimiko, boisterous Clay and the agile Raimundo. Each character has their own unique set of moves and special abilities, including skills from the television series such as the Seismic Kick, Judallet Flip and Typhoon Boom. Players can switch freely between the four characters at dojo drop-off areas through the game’s 20 action-packed stages, selecting the best character for each new encounter.

As they complete portions of the single player story mode of Xiaolin Showdown, players will unlock special mini-games such as fire bowling and wind hockey, which take advantage of the unique features of the Nintendo DS with support for touch screen and microphone input. These mini-games can be enjoyed alone or with a friend via local wireless multiplayer support.

The Xiaolin Showdown video game carries a suggested retail price of $29.99 on the Nintendo DS and is also available on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. The game is rated “E” for Everyone by the ESRB. For more information, please visit www.konami.com.
