“For those of you out there that have not tried the Novint Falcon technology, it’s one of those things that you simply can’t convey on television because it’s touch. It’s absolutely amazing I think it’s really going to enhance a lot of games.“ Adam Sessler, Host, G4’s XPlay
“There’s no question that the Novint Falcon has an opportunity to become a must-have controller for hardcore PC gaming fans.“ – PC Gamer

(San Francisco, CA — February 20, 2008) – Novint Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NVNT), the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, is previewing a new black-colored version of the award-winning Novint Falcon PC game controller and a Pistol Grip, which is interchangeable with the standard Falcon Grip, at the Game Developer’s Conference (booth # 6228) in San Francisco this week.
The black Falcon, which has an estimated MSRP of $199.99, and the Pistol Grip, with a $19.99 estimated MSRP, are expected to be in stores in time for Father’s Day 2008.
The Novint Falcon was first introduced in 2007 as part of a Limited Edition Bundle. A standard edition Novint Falcon will be released later this year and will be available in both white and black. The controller, which replaces a mouse or joystick, lets players feel game actions, objects, environments and force feedback in Novint-enabled games.
With mods for best-selling games like Half-Life® 2, Half-Life® 2: Episode One, and Quake 4, and many other action titles in development, the Pistol Grip was designed primarily for First Person Shooter (FPS) games. Players feel realistic weapon recoil, enemy attacks and game action and dynamics using the Falcon, which is further enhanced with the new Novint Grip.
“We’re adding these new products in response to customer demand,” said Tom Anderson, Novint’s CEO. “The black Falcon gives our customers an edgier aesthetic option. The Pistol Grip is truly a must have accessory that is unparalleled for FPS gaming. I believe that many users will want to purchase a Falcon just to play FPS games with the Pistol Grip.”
The Novint Falcon ($189.99 MSRP) is currently available nationwide at Tiger Direct, Fry’s Electronics, J & R Music, CompUSA.com, CircuitCity.com, Amazon.com and Novintfalcon.com.
