Club Acclaim announced that it will release the Mary-Kate and Ashley Pocket Planner for use with the Nintendo Game Boy Color. Using infrared data-export capability, the PDA software allows data to be transferred among Game Boy Color units. Using the GBC printer, a hard copy of the data can be produced. The Mary-Kate and Ashley PDA software includes pictures, animation, color, music, and games. The PDA also includes standard diary features such as addresses, calendars, "to do" lists, a calculator, and an appointment organizer. Other features include a horoscope, fortune telling, a database of personal interests, and a so-called crush indicator.
"The proven success of the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand video games, combined with this new groundbreaking technology, offers something very unique and exciting for girl gamers," said Christina Recchio, marketing manager for Club Acclaim.
Developed by Powerhead Games, the Mary-Kate and Ashley PDA software will be released for the Game Boy Color this fall.
