World Champion Skier Bode Miller to Create and Publish Wireless Video Games for AEGF Mobile Games' NBC Sports Label. "I am really psyched about this mobile game," said Miller. "I am on my phone and PDA all the time on the road - now I can ski anywhere in the world." This is the first game under the recently announced agreement between AEGF and NBC Sports. The game will be branded and supported by NBC Sports to take advantage of Miller's phenomenal success on the world cup ski circuit, including his 2005 World Cup Overall Title (a first for a U.S. skier since 1983) and his highly anticipated competition at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. The game is being built using Miller's creative input and focuses on his dynamic style and abilities featuring both challenging and casual gameplay, as well as single and multiplayer modes. The first Bode Miller games will be available in January 2006. "Bode's amazing accomplishments and star power place him in the upper echelons of the world's athletes," Ticotin said. "Creating and selling mobile games based on his great abilities and style is a great thrill for our team, and we believe playing them will be the same for the playing public. By teaming up with NBC Sports, the potential for attracting players is enormous." Schanzer said: "It's a natural extension of the NBC Sports brand to partner with one of the greatest skiers in the world on our first wireless video game. Bode has been instrumental in the development of the new game that is designed to showcase his unique and exciting skiing style. We look forward to introducing more games based on a variety of sports in the coming months." The deal was negotiated for Miller by Lowell Taub of the SFX Sports Group. Jason's Comments: Bode sounds more like a surfer name than a skier's name.
