Valcon Games today announced that it will be the North
American publisher and distributor for Easy Piano on Nintendo DS. Created by the production company Game
Life, Easy Piano is a new innovative piano music game for the Nintendo DS that lets
players enjoy a realistic piano experience, thanks to a 13 note, full octave external keyboard
peripheral that exponentially amps up the fun. With Easy Piano, players can learn how to play
the piano, or simply play a quick game where the Easy Piano display prompts you to hit certain
keys, similar to other popular music games currently on the market that also have external
peripherals. This product will be available in North America in early 2010.
“No matter what age, Easy Piano makes playing and learning the piano a wildly fun experience,
and Valcon Games is excited to bring it to the North American market,” said Glenn Halseth, CEO
of Valcon Games. “We truly believe in this exceptionally fun product, and once players get their
fingers on the keyboard they will understand why.”
Would be pianists have the choice to play using a virtual 8?octave, 13?note keyboard on the
Nintendo DS touchscreen, or using a real external 13?note keyboard peripheral specially made
to work with Nintendo DS. Whether taking piano involving lessons or selecting a quick game,
all players will be tutored in the correct finger movements and skills required to become a
mobile virtuoso.
With 2 difficulty modes, everyone can have fun testing and improving their keyboard skills. The
game’s track listing contains some of the world’s most famous songs, spanning time and
genres, to offer something for everyone. A creation mode also allows players to record up to
four 3?minute?long masterpieces. Players can choose from piano, or a number of other
instruments included with the game, to create their musical opus.
