Konami Digital Entertainment today announced that Xiaolin Showdown has shipped to retail stores throughout North
America for the Nintendo DS.. Based on the popular Warner Bros. Animation
television series and licensed by Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment, the Xiaolin Showdown video game for Nintendo DS lets
players embark on a mystical adventure packed with martial arts action as
they attempt to recover valuable relics known as Shen Gong Wu and defeat the
nefarious Jack Spicer and his army of evil robots.
Players will be able to take on the
role of four young warriors: the well-rounded Omi, feisty Kimiko, boisterous
Clay and the agile Raimundo. Each character has their own unique set of
moves and special abilities, including skills from the television series
such as the Seismic Kick, Judallet Flip and Typhoon Boom. Players can switch
freely between the four characters at dojo drop-off areas through the game's
20 action-packed stages, selecting the best character for each new
encounter.
As they complete portions of the single player story mode of Xiaolin
Showdown, players will unlock special mini-games such as fire bowling and
wind hockey, which take advantage of the unique features of the Nintendo DS
with support for touch screen and microphone input. These mini-games can be
enjoyed alone or with a friend via local wireless multiplayer support.
The Xiaolin Showdown video game carries a suggested retail price of $29.99
on the Nintendo DS and is also available on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PSP. The game is rated "E" for
Everyone by the ESRB. For more information check out
