THQ advances

THQ and Majesco have signed an international distribution agreement which will see THQ's European and Asia-Pacific divisions handling ten of Majesco's GameBoy Advance games. Titles covered by the agreement include the likes of Earthworm Jim, Pitfall, Iridion 3D, Fortress, F-14 Tomcat and one as-yet unannounced game. All ten games are due for release later this year along with a plethora of THQ's own titles, taking their total GameBoy Advance release list up to a staggering 25 games by the end of this year.

"Handheld gaming is one of the most exciting areas of growth in the industry and we intend to extend our leading position on Game Boy Color to the hot new Game Boy Advance", THQ's Tim Walsh commented. "The addition of these great games from Majesco expands our Game Boy Advance portfolio to more than 25 titles for 2001."
