EMI Music Publishing Scandinavia and Remedy Entertainment today announced that
Remedy’s upcoming XBLA title Alan Wake’s American Nightmare will feature a duo of EMI
songwriters and composers, namely “Club Foot” which is performed by British indie-

happy to continue our relationship with them and I believe that our combined ability to
select and supervise moody tracks for Remedy’s upcoming action-adventure will result in
a better gameplay experience.” said Andreas Olsson, VP Sales at EMI Music Publishing

“Music played an important role in the original Alan Wake and we’ve carried that tradition
over to American Nightmare with an exceptionally strong selection of original and licensed
songs”, said Oskari Häkkinen, Head of Franchise Development at Remedy “and to spice
things up a little more, Alan’s old-time buddy and literary agent Barry Wheeler has

brand new single to be included with the game!”

| Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir Unleashes Supernatural Thrills on Nintendo 3DS |
Built-In Camera and Augmented-Reality Features Offer Hair-Raising Hand-Held Fun
Hand-held gaming fans with a taste for scary stories and paranormal activity have
something special to look forward to this year. Nintendo of America has confirmed plans
to launch Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, an immersive, horror-themed game
developed exclusively for the portable Nintendo 3DS system, across North America on –
when else? – Friday, April 13.
The game uses the built-in camera functions and augmented-reality features of Nintendo
3DS to enhance a sinister, spellbinding storyline, incorporating players’ own pictures and
surroundings to create a personalized 3D horror experience.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir introduces a mysterious girl named Maya who has
been hiding in the shadows of an old house. Players must help Maya break free from a
terrifying curse by aiding her escape from the clutches of a malevolent woman in black.
By using the Nintendo 3DS system’s built-in camera, players can view Maya in their own
surroundings as the game’s eerie events unfold.
Included with the game is a 16-page AR Book, known as the “diary of faces” in the game’s
Story Mode, which serves as a gateway into this haunting experience. As players view the
book’s images through the lenses of the Nintendo 3DS camera, they enter its pages
using augmented reality. At times, pages will come to life in the form of movies, revealing
past events that offer insights into the mysteries surrounding the diary. In other moments,
characters will emerge from the pages into the player’s world via augmented reality in the
form of evil spirits that attack from all directions.
“Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir will give Nintendo 3DS owners an extraordinary new
way to enjoy the system’s augmented-reality features and 3D capabilities,” said Scott
Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Everywhere
they go, they’ll be able to transform their real-world surroundings into a chilling hand-held
adventure.”
Remember that Nintendo 3DS features parental controls that let adults manage the
content their children can access. For more information about this and other features,
