Nintendo's Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky Lets Players Be a Pokémon

Special Episodes and New Hero Pokémon Deliver More Exploration and Discovery
REDMOND, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
Today`s launch of the Pokémon™ Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky video game for
the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems gives players the opportunity to play
through a game as an actual Pokémon. This newest installment in the Pokémon
Mystery Dungeon video game series expands on the fun found in Pokémon™ Mystery
Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokémon™ Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness
with new content, original storylines and more Pokémon for players to interact
with. Players begin the game as one of 19 different hero Pokémon, which include
five hero Pokémon not included in previous games. From there, players team up
with partner Pokémon and set off on an adventure to save the world from
destruction.

"The Pokémon franchise has delighted fans for more than a decade by providing
unique video game experiences based on exploration, storytelling and social
play," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America`s executive vice president of
Sales & Marketing. "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky delivers an
amazing adventure, with a touching storyline and memorable characters for
players to enjoy."

Throughout Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, players will interact with
more than 490 other Pokémon in this dungeon-based role-playing game and uncover
an immersive storyline by playing new Special Episodes. In these Special
Episodes, players experience new stories through the eyes of some of the
supporting characters that first appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers
of Time and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness.

The game also includes a number of interactive elements that let players connect
with one another. Players can send a demo dungeon to a friend`s Nintendo DS or
Nintendo DSi system over a local wireless connection, or access special missions
over Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection via wireless broadband Internet access. Up to
two players can also trade items over a local wireless connection.
