Nerf spokeswoman Chris Moon issued an apology for the incident that erased two years of data at Lightsoft Interactive last friday, saying: “We at Nerf promote fun and safety, but such and event is unfortunate and we are sorry to hear such a tragic event has happened and been caused by our product.” Spokeswoman Moon also told reporters that Nerf would be donating a number of specially made “Soft Darts” to the company in order to prevent future disasters of the sort.

Nerf also took the time during this statement to announce their newest Nerf product: The NerfZooka BS-90. The lastest Nerf gun fires foam Aqua Noodles. Retail pricing is set at 130$ but to ease the cost the BS-90 will fire any Aqua Noodle pool toy.

San Francisco, CA–CEO and President David Gould of Lightsoft Interactive said friday evening, “We lost everything in the most balls out awesome nerf battle ever.” According to information the office had over twenty stress releasing nerf guns, including but not limited to,  the N-Strike Vulcan fully automatic nerf chaingun with ammo belt, Longshot CS-6 nerf highpowered sniper rifle, and “some of those bitchin’ new nerf swords for whoopin’ on your friends when they aren’t lookin’.”

Lightsoft was developing what many gamers were calling “The coolest game ever seen.” Lightsoft was without a publisher and was hoping to gain one by the end of this year. In a phone interview David had this to say about the tragedy.

“It’s a huge loss. Not one of those oops we lost a few hours of work kind of losses, we’re talking about two and a half years of hard work ruined by a single stray nerf dart. I mean what are the chances of a nerf dart hitting the massive red ‘irreversible format drive button.’”

When questioned about the massive red drive formatting button David had no comment. However David did say he wouldn’t give up and his team returns to work on Monday saying, “This will be the best Hamtaru DS game ever.”
