New Accessory Is a Must-Have for Action Games

ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 29, 2008 -- Novint Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:NVNT.OB - News), the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, announced today that they have begun shipping the Novint Falcon® Pistol Grip, the highly anticipated new accessory for the Falcon 3D touch game controller. The award-winning Novint Falcon replaces a mouse or joystick, allowing players to feel game actions, objects, environments and force feedback in enabled PC games.

Novint has recently announced agreements with several of the industry's leading entertainment software companies, including Electronic Arts (EA), Valve Software, Codemasters, Eidos, and JoWooD, bringing a multitude of AAA titles to the Falcon lineup. Action titles, including Battlefield(TM) 2, The Orange Box, and the upcoming titles Left 4 Dead(TM) and Operation Flashpoint®2: Dragon Rising, will be further enhanced with the addition of the Pistol Grip.

"We've seen strong consumer demand for the Pistol Grip," said Tom Anderson, Novint's CEO. "The Falcon is a powerful platform that takes gaming to a whole new level. With our exceptional lineup of AAA titles, which include some of the most popular action titles on the market, I believe that the Pistol Grip will be a must-have accessory for Falcon gamers."

The Pistol Grip can be purchased at www.novint.com and has an MSRP of $19.99. A complete list of Falcon games is available at www.novint.com.
