Nintendo’s Electroplankton Turns Music Novices Into Mixing Maestros

Whether you’re musically inclined or musically impaired, Nintendo’s new Electroplanktonâ„¢ will make you a mixing maestro. The musical experience, launching today exclusively for Nintendo DSâ„¢, lets users score music by using the touch screen or speaking into the microphone. Sounds can be sampled, manipulated, changed and rearranged to help even novices create engrossing beats and harmonies.

Electroplankton exemplifies Nintendo’s commitment to expand the frontier of innovation in the video game universe. Electroplankton, for instance, could not be possible on any other system. Only the special features of Nintendo DS make it possible for users to compose music ranging from techno beats to ethereal rhythms. And because Nintendo DS is portable, users can make music whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.

“Electroplankton is a great way to kick off what promises to be an exciting year for Nintendo,” says Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales & marketing. “It’s the kind of casual game that will attract a broad audience and help Nintendo DS continue to expand its lead as the most popular new hand-held system.”
