Quickspot goes gold
NamcoBandai just sent us a press release stating that its game Quickspot has gone gold and is expected to meet its date with retail shelves in the U.S. on March 13th. For those unaware, Quickspot is a title where players must spot the differences between a pair of seemingly identical images. Time is of the essence, as players must not only have eyes as sharp as an eagle's, but be fast with the stylus as they mark the differences on the dual-screen handheld's touch-screen. The game is to release with a MSRP of $19.99 US.
Check past the post break for the press release, if you're into that sort of thing.
