Company Delivers Ground-Breaking PC Game Controller Bundled with 24 Touch-
Enabled Microgames
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novint Technologies, Inc.
(NVNT), the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, announces the
availability of the award-winning Novint Falcon game controller at the 40th
Annual International CES show in Las Vegas. The Falcon is the first high-
fidelity, three dimensional interactive touch device for the home PC,
allowing users to feel weight, shape, texture, dimension, dynamics, 3D
motion and force effects when playing enabled games. Novint will begin
shipping a Limited Edition Falcon Bundle ($239 MSRP or $189 through
preorder) on June 18, 2007. Preordering will be offered at
http://www.novintfalcon.com beginning January 8th, while supplies last. Previews
of the Falcon and the Newton's Monkey Business game pack, which will be
included in the bundle, are being shown at the Sands Expo and Convention
Center, booth # 72924 in the Gaming TechZone January 8-11, 2007.
Selected as a 2007 CES Innovations Honoree, The Falcon is a first-of-a-
kind game controller that makes realistic, interactive 3D touch possible
and practical for PC gaming. Replacing a computer mouse or joystick, users
hold onto the interchangeable handle, or "Grip", of the Falcon which moves
right, left, forward, backwards, up and down -- letting users feel their
interactions and control a game more naturally and intuitively.
"We are excited to be bringing this amazing technology to consumers,"
said Tom Anderson, CEO, Novint Technologies. "We have created the exclusive
Limited Edition Falcon Bundle for everyone who wants to be one of the first
to own a technology that will forever change video games, and computing as
a whole."
The Limited Edition Falcon Bundle will include:
* Limited Edition Novint Falcon game controller and changeable Grip
* Newton's Monkey Business game pack, with 24 original touch-enabled
microgames in nearly all genres.
* Novint's online download service that will allow users to download
expanded versions of all 24 microgames, which will range in price from
$0.99 to $19.95, and additional ongoing content compatible with the
Falcon.
* One free game download from Novint's Web site (up to a $19.95 value).
* "Falcon First Club" lifetime membership, which gives members special
discounts, opportunities to participate in unique forums, product
testing and exclusive downloads
* Numbered Certificate of Authenticity
Preorder customers may pay a one time price of $189, a $50 savings off
the MSRP, and receive free standard shipping within the continental U.S.,
or pay $50 to reserve a bundle, with the $189 balance due when the unit
ships in June. Additional games will be available at launch, including
standalone versions and expansions of the microgames from Newton's Monkey
Business, and drivers for Half-Life2(R), which let users feel weapon
weight, recoil and other game interactions.
The Novint Falcon connects to a PC through a USB port and the base
measures 9" x 9". For additional product and company information, please
