press release:

Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the mass market, today announced the latest addition to its popular line of Nintendo DS™ games, Operation: Vietnam. Developed by Coyote Console and scheduled for worldwide release this autumn, Operation: Vietnam drops players into the war-torn jungles of Vietnam as they try to escape enemy territory.

“Operation: Vietnam packs the run-and-gun action found in popular arcade games into the Nintendo DS™,” said John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. “The squad-based gameplay and variety of missions create a fast-paced, exciting experience for gamers on the go.”

In Operation: Vietnam, a chopper flight over the thick jungles of worn-torn Vietnam goes horribly wrong as the transport is shot down deep inside Viet Cong territory. Surrounded by the enemy, players must rally their squad and lead them back to safety. Along the way, players must fend off repeated assaults while liberating oppressed villagers.

Exciting features of Operation: Vietnam include:

Use the Touch Screen to issue commands, access inventory, view maps and select which squad member to control;
Utilize your squad to combat multiple enemy types including: soldiers, tanks, turrets, enemy barracks, etc.;
Take advantage of different specialties and weapons per soldier: long range rifle, grenade launcher, automatic weapons, and more;
Flush out enemies with smoke grenades or take them out with fragmentation grenades.
