BRISTOL, U.K., January 17, 2008 – Turn the fledgling family toy store into a toy business empire! That’s the premise behind Toy Shop, an exciting new simulation for the Nintendo DS™ announced today by Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market. Developed by Gameinvest, Toy Shop puts players at the helm of a struggling toy shop where they’ll need to create fun toys that sell while managing store inventory, customers and budget.

“The concept for this unique simulation is like Santa’s workshop meets retail tycoon,” said John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. “Toy Shop combines creative toy-making with overall store management to give players insight into the challenging, yet rewarding, business of fun. We believe Toy Shop has the same type of appeal as successful casual games like Cooking Mama and Cake Mania.”

In Toy Shop, players can choose their style of play—whether it’s assuming full control of all aspects of the family toy business or just making toys to sell in the store. As the business grows, seasonal holidays will attract new customers that will in turn help the business grow and unlock additional store locations. A true hands-on management approach is the key to success as players use the stylus to make toys, adjust prices, manage merchandising and review customer habits that affect buying patterns. An unhappy customer just might spread the word and compromise your reputation so service is a critical component to the burgeoning business. Shop owners can create more than 30 toys for the store, including teddy bears, action figures and board games, and a tutorial helps future entrepreneurs learn the ropes of the business.

Previews: Toy Shop DS
We check out Harvest Moon for toy makers on DS.

When their grandpa dies, a couple of go-get 'em teens -- siblings Mel and Mark -- inherit his toy store. The place is pretty run down (i.e. empty) and they only have three years to turn it around before it defaults back to town ownership. Basically, Toy Shop on DS, which will be available this April for $19.99, is Harvest Moon for those more interested in dolls and train sets than cows and corn. Arranging the furniture, stocking the shelves, gauging customer satisfaction, and crafting the toys -- it's all your responsibility.

The three years advance day by day, each taking about five to 10 minutes of play. Seasonal variation will also affect your store, since holiday decorations can be set out to draw more customers. Obviously the more money you make, the more your store grows. You can open up a bigger venue or even a branch location, if you can afford to pay an employee.

Controls are mostly touch-screen based. You explore the town square, beach, commercial and residential districts by dragging your stylus to walk, and tapping on NPCs to talk. You can return to the shop instantly by hitting X, and from there, pressing A will take you to the store's workshop -- where you build the toys to stock your shelves.

While the in-game 3D sprites don't seem to come across quite as well as the 2D portrait art that shows up in the top screen during dialog sequences, the chibi anime style is cute and familiar, especially if you enjoy the Harvest Moon games.
