Father of Music Games Brings New Take on the Genre to iPhone and iPod touch

San Francisco, Calif. – June 4, 2010 – OneBigGame, the non-profit publisher of videogames, today officially announced its second project, WINtA, an innovative music rhythm game that will be released for iPhone and iPod touch this summer. WINtA is the brainchild of renowned Japanese game designer Masaya Matsuura, the man often regarded as the inventor of the music game genre through his seminal PaRappa the Rapper series for PlayStation.

“We couldn’t be happier with WINtA as the second game to come out under our fundraising label,” said Martin de Ronde, director, OneBigGame. “We feel Matsuura-san has come up with a great concept for OneBigGame, and we are convinced that fans of his earlier works as well as fans of music games in general will be pleasantly surprised when they all get a chance to experience WINtA later this year.”

The spirit of the OneBigGame initiative, which is all about game designers working together to raise funds for charity, comes to life in WINtA, which is being developed pro bono by Matsuura-san’s studio NanaOn-Sha and Dutch iPhone and iPad specialists Triangle Studios.

“I am a big believer in creative collaborations and I am really pleased with the result that is WINtA,” stated Masaya Matsuura, president, NanaOn-Sha. “Furthermore, further down the line WINtA will also very much involve music artists, VJs and gamers around the world in this project. I can’t wait to see the creative vision that we have for WINtA finally become a reality later this year.”

“Needless to say, we are proud to work with an industry legend like Matsuura-san,” commented Remco de Rooij, MD, Triangle Studios. “Working with such a creative mind has been a wonderful and insightful experience and we feel that Matsuura-san’s creative vision for this game combined with our technical expertise has led to not only a great game for the iPhone and iPod touch, but also a unique platform for both music creators and fans of music and music games.”

Netherlands based developer Team6, and Netherlands based developer Triangle decide to join forces for work on Calvin Tucker’s Redneck: Farm Animal Racing Tournament for the Nintendo DS version.

Ronnie Nelis, CEO Team6 game studios: “While working on the Wii version of Farm Animals, we were asked by our client Zoo Games for a DS version of Farm Animals besides the Wii version. After comparing various DS specialized studios all over the world who could assist us with this new platform for us, we ended up at Triangle Studios: which happens just to be around our corner, so to speak. We’re very pleased to work with Triangle now, and so far they deliver amazing results.”

Remco de Rooij, CEO Triangle Studios: “The people at Team6 have been creating some amazing games for the Wii platform, their technology is very impressive to say the least. Needless to say, we realized it would be quite the challenge to create a DS game that could match the Wii equivalent in terms of gameplay and fun!”

It features Alex the Penguin and he loves good food, friends, naughty tricks and playing games, just like many of us do. He lives at the South Pole and has been experiencing problems due to global warming.

If you want to support Alex’s campaign, download the App, sign the petition and make a donation. So Alex can continue living his great life in the future!

One of those games you don’t ever want to delete on your iPhone! Very hard to stop playing. Can’t go wrong if you buy this game if you love puzzels. You will love this game.

Haven’t had the chance to try out the frantic pipe puzzler Heron: Steam Machine? Well now is your chance as this cool iPhone App will be completely FREE only this weekend, on January 23rd and 24th. Heron: Steam Machine is normally available for $0.99 in the Appstore.

Heron: Steam Machine is a game about a factory where rubber duckies are being produced by a large steam engine. On this steam engine, there are four different gauges which you will have to watch carefully. These gauges represent steam, electricity, water and oil. When the gauges start to rise, you will have to connect a pipe with the color corresponding with the gauge. By connecting the pipes, you will earn points and relieve some of the pressure. Prevent the steam engine from blowing up and save as many rubber duckies as you can!
