Namco announced plans to bring the classic arcade hit Popeye to mobile phones through a partnership with King Features, the world's premier distributor of comics, columns, editorial cartoons, puzzles and games to newspapers, and one of the world’s most experienced organizations in merchandising and entertainment licensing.



The game lets players be Popeye on his quest to win back his sweetie while overcoming the antics of his rival Bluto. Collect the hearts, musical notes and cries of “H-E-L-P” that a captured Olive tosses down, while avoiding the Sea Hag’s bouncing skulls, Bluto’s punches and other dangers. True to the series, Popeye is “strong to the finich” if he gets his spinach, temporarily gaining the strength to go after Bluto and knock him off the screen.

Unlike other versions of the game, the mobile edition will include bonus features, like networked components and an enhanced mode with additional game play, and cameos by other characters from the Popeye series.

Popeye’s North American mobile game debut is scheduled for fall 2007.
