Mobile Entertainment Publisher's Title Continues to Gain Industry Accolades; Currently Among the Top Rated Offerings in the Game Lobby from Sprint   

IN-FUSIO, the international mobile entertainment publisher and gamers' community management provider, received a nomination today for the 2nd Annual Wireless Gaming Awards recognizing innovation, design and technical achievement. The company's title, Shado Fighter was selected as a finalist in the category of Best Action game of the year after an extensive review process by a panel of experts from the mobile gaming industry websites, GameSpot Wireless and Wireless Gaming Review. The winners of this year's awards, also known as The Mobies, will be announced during a ceremony to be held at the CTIA Wireless 2005 trade show in New Orleans on March 15, 2005.

The award nomination is among a series of growing accolades Shado Fighter has garnered over the last year, including the Editor's Choice awards from mobile gaming sites IGN Wireless and GameSpy.com. Shado Fighter is also currently rated by customers as the number one fighting game, and among the top five overall by the mobile gaming community in the Game Lobby from Sprint.

"We are honored to have an IN-FUSIO game considered among the very best at the Wireless Gaming Awards and in the company of some of the industry's highest caliber offerings," said Craig Holland, CEO, IN-FUSIO North America. "Shado Fighter is yet another example of IN-FUSIO's dedication to delivering top quality mobile games which are enjoyed by consumers, a success for carriers and recognized by the industry. We are especially proud that the title is an original IP and proof that a game's success can still be based on solid design and gameplay, not just a license."

Shado Fighter lets gamers choose from nine characters, each with their own unique fighting style, as they make their way through a tournament of skilled warriors. In addition to up to 12 special moves, each fighter also has their own home level, providing for nine different, detailed stages. Reminiscent of popular, classic fighting games, players can select between four different difficulty and game speed levels to find a setting that best fits their skills.

Shado Fighter features four game play modes:

-- Training Mode: Players can learn and practice all of their fighter's moves - including special attacks - before they go into battle.

-- Story Mode: Gamers brawl their way through the ranks until they reach big Boss Shado. Along the way, each stage consists of three rounds, with the winner having to take the best two out of three.

-- Survival Mode: Gamers must beat opponents without losing a single round and with up to 128 fights in all, Survival Mode offers even the most skilled player hours of game time.

-- Time Attack: Players have to defeat eight fighters in record time, taking on enemies as well as the clock.
