"With the incredible success of the Nintendo Wii's casual gaming market, we want our Popcorn Arcade brand to be the must-have purchase for the casual gamer," MD of Data Design Interactive Steward Green said. "We have 14 titles that we want to ship this year, four of which already have gold master status and another three have been submitted to Nintendo for final approval. To keep up with this staggering momentum, we have set up a new development studio, where a brand new team can immediately start working on existing titles and start developing our planned 30 future titles over the next 12 months."
