Thursday, PF Magic announced that they have formed a partnership with ASCII to have ASCII publish and distribute its complete virtual Petz line for the PC in Japan. ASCII will bring PF's latest Dogz and Catz II product to Japan in April 1998.
"We are very impressed by PF.Magic's worldwide leadership in virtual Petz products and expertise," Ricky Tanimoto, International Representative for ASCII Corporation said in a statement. "While simple key-chain virtual pets have been very successful in Japan, we are confident Dogz and Catz will lead the charge into the virtually untapped computer desktop and Internet market."
