Majesco's Game Boy Advance Video's catalog will be expanded. A deal with 4Kids entertainment was announced today...

4Kids Entertainment announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Majesco Sales, the sole operating subsidiary of ConnectivCorp, for Majesco to publish and distribute in the United States and Canada a total of 12 episodes of certain 4Kids' produced television series. It is expected that episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Sonic X will be sold as part of the new Game Boy Advance Video product line scheduled to debut in May 2004.

Under the terms of the 4Kids-Majesco agreement, the TV episodes produced by 4Kids will be available for viewing on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance handheld system. Both 4Kids and Majesco have Nintendo approved proprietary compression technology that enables them to compress full TV episodes so that they can be manufactured onto a Game Boy Advance cartridge and played on the portable handheld system.

"We are pleased to be working with Majesco to bring 4Kids' produced content to the installed base of more than 20 million Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP units," said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 4Kids Entertainment. "Now, fans of 4Kids' series such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Sonic X can easily take their favorite shows anywhere they can take their Game Boy Advance systems."

Majesco's proprietary technology enables you to watch video on a standard Nintendo Game Boy Advance, using a standard Nintendo-manufactured cartridge. This officially licensed compression technology features:

• Full-screen, full-color, full-streaming audio and video on Game Boy Advance with no additional hardware required
• Exclusive software-only technology runs on a standard Nintendo manufactured cartridge
• 100% Anti-Skip ? No moving parts means movies never skip or stutter, no matter how much you move your system around
• Plug and play viewing ? simply insert the cartridge into any Game Boy Advance System and start watching
• 45 minutes of video on a single cartridge with longer content, including full length feature films, coming soon
• Standard ?DVD player? controls including: Fast Forward, Fast Rewind, Chapter Skip, Chapter Reverse and Pause. All content has animated chapter menus just like DVDs.
• Adjustable brightness
• Support for stereo sound, multiple languages and multiple choices of subtitles
