Mad Catz Interactive Inc. (”Mad Catz”), the world’s leading third party video game accessory manufacturer, today announced it has shipped accessories for the much anticipated Nintendo DS(TM) hand-held system.
Mad Catz is shipping products early to ensure availability on store shelves for
the scheduled North America launch of the Nintendo DS on November 21.
“The Nintendo DS is one of the most innovative video game systems ever launched,”
commented Darren Richardson, President and CEO of Mad Catz. “We intend to

Mad Catz is known.”
Aspyr Media, Inc., an entertainment publisher delivering fun in the form of games,
music and DVDs, and game developer Wideload Games, Inc., today unearthed their
upcoming game, Stubbs the Zombie in “Rebel without a Pulse.” Guaranteed
to turn some heads, this third-person action game is an original IP by Bungie
Studio veterans that uses an updated Halo(TM) engine to deliver a stirring tale
of one man’s hunger for love, justice… and brains. The game will be a cross-platform
release, including Xbox, PC and Mac, and will be published worldwide in summer,
2005.
In this game, players take on the role of the rebel himself – Stubbs, a wisecracking
Zombie who takes on an ultra-modern city of the future using nothing but his own
carcass and the weapons of his possessed enemies. The game’s tongue-in-cheek humor,
innovative combat and strong storyline keep Stubbs the Zombie’s gameplay as bizarre
and unpredictable as its namesake.
“To us nothing has the sweet smell of success like rotting Zombie flesh,”
said Alexander Seropian, President of Wideload Games. “We fell in love
with the Stubbs game concept because of the unique player experience and the
potential of the main character. We are really enjoying bringing this concept
to life… or un-death, as the case may be.”
“Wideload Games is delivering an experience unlike any other. Who else
could create a game featuring an undead hero who eats brains, tosses his own
innards like cherry bombs, and still makes time for the ladies? Those guys are
absolutely nuts and we couldn’t be more pleased,” said Michael Rogers,
president of Aspyr. “Stubbs the Zombie will give gamers a new appreciation
for the walking dead.”

Sony’s PSPTM, Nintendo DSTM, as well on Game Boy® Advance – and will launch
in conjunction with the movie in Spring 2005.
