Namco Bandai to Rep Winx Club Video Game

LORETO: Namco Bandai is to represent the latest Winx Club: Rockstar video game from Rainbow, with Nintendo DS distributing the game in Europe, the Middle East and Africa starting this November.

The game is based on the popular Winx Club TV series, which launched in 2004. In the game, the Winx Club fairy friends swap magic for guitars and microphones. Fans are able to select their favorite fairy, choose one of four musical instruments and practice more than 12 exclusive Winx Club songs.

“Interactive platforms and specifically the video game market are very important for our business,” said Iginio Straffi, the founder and president of Rainbow S.p.A, “this important new launch with Bandai Namco, one of the prestigious partner in the industry, underlines the strength and value of the property.”

“It’s great news that we are able to continue our relationship with Rainbow and bring another game based on this fantastic license to fans in Europe,” added Alberto González Lorca, the VP of third parties at Namco Bandai. “Winx Club: Rockstars takes this enormously popular property in a new musical game direction, which is very exciting for us and adds even more breadth and strength to our diverse lineup.”
