Burlingame, CA. - February 08, 2012 - Natsume Inc., a worldwide
developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, announced
today that it is declaring February "Official Gabrielle Month."
Celebrating the launch of the newest title in the Gabrielle series,
Gabrielle’s Monster Match, available now for iPod
Touch, iPhone, and iPad, Natsume is kicking off a month of
promotions and events, including the gift with purchase promotion
where gamers can nab an exclusive Gabrielle figurine with the
purchase of Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D (3DS) at the
Natsume store. Players who already own the complete Natsume
library of games can acquire one of the limited edition beauties by
participating in the upcoming Lovers' Nest Facebook
contest.
Gabrielle’s Monster Match is a spooky twist on
puzzle games, with all your favorite friends from the original
Ghostly Groove. The game is free to download and is available
now for all iOS devices.
"We decided that Gabrielle’s world would fit nicely into a
fun and addictive puzzle game, and that is how
Gabrielle’s Monster Match began," said Hiro Maekawa,
President and CEO of Natsume. “We really wanted to celebrate
the launch, and thought that bringing back the hugely popular
Gabrielle figurine was a great way to do it!”
Scream your way into a new kind of puzzle game: Begin with
a partially filled grid, and move similar pieces together to create
a row of four or more. Each round, new pieces will be added
to the board, so don’t let these wild monsters get the best
of you! Special spooky pieces can help you clear the board
faster, and using them wisely is the key to a big score!
Players can download Gabrielle's Monster Match for free. More
features, including additional quests, can be unlocked for $0.99
cents. The game is available starting today on the App Store at
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gabrielles-monster-match/id486708001?mt=8
Players can also pick up the original Gabrielle’s Ghostly
Groove 3DS at the Official Natsume Store and receive a bonus
Gabrielle figurine. In addition, fans of Natsume's Facebook will
also have a chance to win one of these rare figures! Starting next
week, tell Natsume about your dream date with any character from a
Natsume game (including Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove!) and you
might be one of the lucky winners. Natsume staff have already
given some fun examples, including one unconventional date with
Finny the Fish!
