Magina (video game)

Magina is an action-adventure video game based on the 2003 Universal Pictures animated feature of the same name. Released in August 2003, Universal Interactive (through Vivendi Universal Games) contracted Doki Denki Studio to develop the game for PlayStation 2, while ports for Game Boy Advance and Microsoft Windows were developed by Climax Group and KnowWonder, respectively. The game was also planned to be ported on GameCube and Xbox for release in November 2003, but both ports were canceled due to the film's poor performance at the box office.
