- Posted By Mike Schneider, 05.29.2003

Two years ago, Iridion 3d was released alongside the GBA's launch. The first game was hailed as a technical showcase but with a few major gameplay flaws preventing it from greatness. Majesco has given Iridion a second go and hopefully improved the gameplay and updated the graphics a little.

EDISON, NJ, May 28, 2003 - The Iridion saga continues as Majesco, one of the fastest-growing publishers of interactive entertainment software, announces the shipping of Iridion II for Game Boy® Advance to retail stores everywhere. The sequel to the original Game Boy Advance launch title, Iridion 3D, Iridion II is armed with astounding graphics, a deep storyline and loads of new game play features.

"Iridion 3D was one of our most acclaimed Game Boy Advance titles and set the bar for graphic excellence on the system," said Ken Gold, Vice President of Marketing for Majesco. "With the sequel, Iridion II, we added a more in-depth story, improved the game play and made the graphics even better."
