Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment
industry publisher and developer, today announced that it will be
developing an interactive title based on the hit comedy series from
Adult Swim - Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie
Ninja Pro-Am is scheduled to be available for the PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system this fall. The series, which follows the
exploits of a trio of sentient fast-food items, has also inspired a
feature length film - Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For
Theaters due in theaters April 13.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is an epic,
action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game that gives fans an
opportunity to experience the Aqua Teen universe in a whole new way.
When Frylock is admitted to the prestigious Jersey Pines Golf Club,
Master Shake decides to show the uppity members that he is also just as
good (and uppity) and deserves a place in their exclusive club. Meatwad
is, of course, persuaded to join in, and the three crime-fighting food
products use golf clubs and a variety of other weapons in ways not
intended as they battle numerous villains, fan favorites and other show
characters.
“Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a unique and
completely hilarious property,” said Steve
Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. “We
are working closely with Aqua Teen creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave
Willis to bring the tone of the TV show and movie into a video game.”
“We are thrilled to be bringing the hilarious
antics of Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force
to a one of kind gaming experience,” said
Christina Miller, VP of Consumer Products for Cartoon Network
Enterprises, the network’s global
merchandising division. “This game will set a
new standard for crime-fighting, golf-obsessed, food battles.”
“This golden chalice represents a new age in
gaming, the likes of which has never before been seen on this planet.
The weak will tremble at the awesomeness of our full color, hand-made
graphics!” said creators Maiellaro and Willis
simultaneously and in unison.
