Majesco to Release Puffins: Island Adventure for DS

Video games provider Majesco Entertainment Company has announced Puffins: Island Adventure for Nintendo DS. Developed by Other Ocean Interactive, the game is an adventure simulation that will let players experience what it's like to be an endearing seabird. 

Players will become part of a Puffin flock and experience their arduous, but rewarding, existence as they learn to fly, dive, start a family and more. While navigating through the island, they will interact with other Puffins, play games to earn the favor of their peers and raise a family to carry on their legacy.  

The game features mini-games that relate to real-life Puffin activities underwater, in air and on land. By mastering the Puffin 500, Puffin Plummet and Tide Pool Fishing, players will earn reputation points that unlock pictures and videos of real Puffins in their natural Canadian locales.  

If players make it far enough, they will unlock new levels and even their very own Puffin burrow. Gameplay through the untamed wilderness is accompanied by traditionally-styled Atlantic Canadian music composed of exotic instruments including the tin whistle, fiddle and bodhran. Music composition is from Canada's artist, Alan Doyle, frontman for the band Great Big Sea.  

In addition, it also features 4 player local and 2 player Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection multiplayer modes. 

According to Majesco, the game is expected to release this spring. 

Other Ocean Group (OOG) is a Canadian owned and controlled company, with studios in Canada, and head office in California.
