Tokyo Beat Down™ Beats Up North American Store Shelves
What does justice taste like? Like fists.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- APRIL 3, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc., hanging onto the hood of a speeding car, today announced that Tokyo Beat Down™, the over-the-top cop drama/comedy side-scrolling beat 'em up for Nintendo DS™, is now available in select retailers across North America. The publisher drew attention to the game's fresh combination of fist-on-gun-on-fist action with a hilarious script loaded with unforgettable one-liners, and then proceeded to leap into a crowd of armed thugs, dealing out sweet justice one fist at a time. Atlus was last heard exclaiming something about Tokyo Beat Down being a "can't miss" for fans of the genre and action games in general, but this was quickly followed with a "prepare to get beaten down" directed at the hoodlums.
Tokyo Beat Down for Nintendo DS is in stores now. Typically, justice waits for no one, but in this case, it's waiting for you.
About Tokyo Beat Down
Who has it within them to rise up against the ever growing threat of violence, crime, and terrorism on the streets of Tokyo? Enter the Beast Cops, tireless servants of justice. These men and women struggle night and day for the heart of the city. They'll match any villain punch for punch, kick for kick, bullet for bullet. They're Beast Cops because they will do whatever it takes, pay any price, inflict as much damage as necessary, in order to restore peace and security to the streets of Tokyo.
Key Features
Beat 'em up that lets you shoot 'em up -- When fisticuffs aren't enough, add guns to deliver a whole new brand of justice to the mean streets of Tokyo. Pick up a variety of weapons, ranging from handguns to rocket launchers, for intense action on each level.
Badass 70's cop show vibe -- Outrageous style, over-the-top substance, and no holds barred hardboiled police action mix with madcap humor and sharply-written dialogue. Dishing out justice to the seamy underbelly of Tokyo has never been this satisfying.
Multiple characters & endings -- This sordid tale of Tokyo's criminal set unfolds through the eyes of three different cops with unique play styles. Story branches lead to multiple endings that determine whether you'll get your shot to beat down the ultimate crime boss.
Tokyo Beat Down has been rated "T" for Teen with Alcohol Reference, Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, Use of Tobacco, and Violence by the ESRB.
