The DS Gets Mooned

Mastiff, a worldwide publisher of videogames and Renegade Kid, developer of innovative interactive software, today announced that the highly anticipated first-person shooter (FPS) Moon for Nintendo DShas shipped to stores nationwide. Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is a story-driven sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058 where researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base. However, it is a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch.

"Moon has come a long way since its initial unveiling as 'Project M' and we couldn't be happier with the end result," said Bill Swartz, Head Woof of Mastiff. "It was a labor of love and we hope that players enjoy its gripping story and fast-paced gameplay as much as we do." "We are very proud of Moon at Renegade Kid; the team's dedication has really paid off. Working with an experienced partner like Mastiff, who is focused on producing quality products, has made the journey both fulfilling and enjoyable," states Jools Watsham, Owner and Creative Director of Renegade Kid.
