PopCap Games to develop multiplayer mobile games for SNAP Mobile

Game Developers Conference 2008, San Francisco, CA and Espoo, Finland- Nokia and PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, will bring connected mobile Java(TM) games to the SNAP Mobile platform. The award winning Chuzzle(TM) is the first game to be re-developed by PopCap under a multi-game agreement.

"SNAP Mobile is all about bringing fun multiplayer Java games to the masses," said Paul Whitaker, Head of Business Development for SNAP Mobile, Nokia. "With a catalog of broadly appealing games, PopCap titles are a perfect addition to our growing portfolio."

"Downloads of our mobile games continue to grow rapidly and we have learned that consumers are increasingly looking for on-the-go games that allow them to interact with one another," said Andrew Stein, Director of Mobile Business Development, PopCap. "To help meet that growing demand, we're happy to cooperate with a company like Nokia that shares our vision of bringing engaging and fun casual games to the mobile mass-market along with a proven track record of efficiently distributing and hosting connected mobile games."

The multiplayer version of Chuzzle(TM) will feature community offerings, including chat, leader boards, and more. The original single player version of Chuzzle(TM), which was named 'Casual Game of the Year' in 2005 by Billboard's Digital Entertainment & Media Excellence Awards, is expected to be available on a variety of mobile devices powered by SNAP Mobile by the end of 2008.
