Nintendo Co., Ltd. Selects Actimagine Video Technologies for its Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Software Development Kits

15.11.2005 – 17:27

Paris, November 15 (ots/PRNewswire)

Actimagine announces that
Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Japan) has licensed its video codecs to integrate
video sequences in video games for the Game Boy(R) Advance and the
Nintendo DS(TM) handheld video game systems. It  will be provided at
no charge in Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Software Development
Kits (SDK). It will allow all Nintendo's game developers to enrich
their games with attractive video content.
On the Nintendo DS, Actimagine software video codec can achieve
full screen 256x192 video up to 30 frames per second from 100kbps to
700kbps, with stereo sound from 8KHz mono to 48KHz stereo. Dual
screen can be supported up to 15 frames per second.
Metroid Prime Hunters(TM): First Hunt and Jump Super Stars(TM) are
the first two games using those outstanding video capabilities.
In 2004, Actimagine had previously licensed to Nintendo Co., Ltd.
its video compression technologies allowing Nintendo to deliver up to
90 minutes of TV-like video titles on 32MB cartridges on its range of
hand-held consoles: Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP and
Nintendo DS. This is a purely software-based solution, making the
video cartridges compatible with the vast installed base of Nintendo
hand-held consoles that are already in the market.
"This new license confirms our commitment to Nintendo's
handheld consoles success [...] Providing Nintendo with cutting edge
technologies is a permanent challenge." says Andre Pagnac, Actimagine
President.
"Actimagine's tools and technologies strengthen our ability to
support our developers efforts in delivering high quality games" says
Ramin Ravanpey, Director of Software Development Support, Nintendo of
America Inc.
