 The
details of Konami's deal to publish a series of Disney sports games
were finally revealed today by the company. Tentatively titled,
Disney All-Star Sports, the series will feature both team sports and
extreme sports games, starring popular Disney characters as athletic
all-stars. Disney All-Star Sports
Soccer, Football,
Skateboarding, and Basketball will be
released exclusively on Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance this year. For Game Boy Advance only, Konami will also develop
Disney All-Star Sports Snowboarding.
Combining the high-energy fun of each sport with the humor and
imagination of Disney, Disney All-Star Sports puts an extreme edge
on sports console games. Disney All-Star Sports will deliver
arcade-style action, multiplayer gaming, and stunning graphics for
some of the best-loved Disney personalities, including Mickey,
Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Max, and Big Bad Pete.
Kunio Neo, President of Konami of Europe said, "Konami is
excited to bring a whole new experience to console sports fans...
Disney's all-star cast of beloved characters combined with
arcade-style sports games will yield incredible success for this new
series."
"Disney Interactive is pleased to be working with Konami on
this important company initiative," said Jan Smith, president,
Disney Interactive. "Gamers, sports fans, and Disney fans alike
will enjoy playing the Disney All-Star Sports games with their
favorite Disney characters."
The first to be released, Disney All-Star Sports Soccer will arrive
in Japan on July 18th (see images below). The game will feature many
famous Disney characters, ten teams, and special goal kicks. Disney
All-Star Sports Football and Disney All-Star Sports Skateboarding
will both release soon after on July 25th.
