Hokkaido, Japan - February 8th, 2012 - MonkeyPaw Games Inc. today announced that BurgerTime World Tour will be available February 9th on Nintendo’s WiiWare™ service on Wii™. BurgerTime World Tour is an evolution of the arcade classic, enhanced with an innovative 3D rotating environment. The new BurgerTime experience introduces fresh and meaty additions to the re-imagined franchise. For the very first time, BurgerTime will feature platforming elements that widen the playing field. BurgerTime World Tour will be available worldwide for 1000 Wii Points™ and can be purchased from the Wii Shop Channel.

The evolved platforming-puzzler will follow world-renowned burger chef Peter Pepper in his global quest for culinary domination through expanded levels and one giant adversary. True to his retro roots, Peter Pepper will be tasked with building enormous burgers while running away from wacky food-gone-wild enemies such as Frank Furter the Sausage, Sonny the Egg, and new enemies such as Habba De Niro, the Habanero Pepper. Chef Peter Pepper will need to overcome new obstacles such as giant chasms, wall spikes and a heckuva hungry boss to strategically find the fastest way to put together each burger.

"BurgerTime is a maturation of the arcade classic.  The new platforming elements evolve the action into a faster and more challenging experience," said John Greiner, president and CEO of MonkeyPaw Games. "We're excited for a new generation of players to try out the game and get a taste of retro evolution."

The release of BurgerTime World Tour marks 30 years since the original BurgerTime arcade game was released in 1982.A beloved classic that quickly earned the label as one of the best arcade games of all time, BurgerTime increasingly became popular within the growing gaming industry. Now BurgerTime is back and fresher than ever for a much wider gaming audience.

BurgerTime World Tour is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and will be available on February 9th for worldwide download on WiiWareat the low price of 1000 Wii Points. For more information on BurgerTime World Tour, please visit www.burgertimeworldtour.com .
