EA and Hasbro get it on News

PC DS Wii
News by Tom Bramwell

11 February, 2008

EA and Hasbro, sitting in a tree, making games about recognisable properties for Nintendo formats.

The megapublisher's Salt Lake Studio is handling development of two games - Littlest Pet Shop for Wii, DS and PC, and Nerf "N-Strike" for Wii and DS. Both games are due out in the autumn.

According to EA, Littlest Pet Shop is about running a pet shop and unlocking pets, playsets, accessories "and more" as you navigate three unique environments. Blah blah blah magical moments Ellie reviewing etc.

Nerf, meanwhile, claims to be "the first Nerf blaster action game" (what about that Unreal engine one from yonks ago? Nerf Arena Blast?), where "players can wreak havoc and perfect their blasting skills or challenge friends to clashes with both single and multi-player game modes".

EA says it's also doing Monopoly and Scrabble titles for multiple platforms, as well as other titles to be announced later this year, and has released a raft of mobile games you don't care about.

"a raft of mobile games you don't care about."

Ummm, not as pretty as consoles games but some are fun. Try not to tell the reader what we care and don't care about. After all, you're a "games" website - does it matter what format it's on as long as it's fun?

:-P

Maybe it was dyslexia or wishful thinking, but I misread Hasbro as 'Haribo'.

And here I was hoping for some gummy bear-based goodness :(

Just a typical mega-corp attempt to cash in on the success of Scrabulous!

I'm sure kids are going to flock in record numbers to buy a Nerf-shooter. They'll all be begging for it for Christmas. It'll be the hit of the decade.

Or maybe their stupid parents will just buy them Gears of War instead.

If they make Monopoly on XBLA as good as Monopoly Party on the XBox with online play it should be a cracker, hopefully with downloadable content for different board themes as seems to be all the rage these days

I really enjoyed Nerf Arena Blast. For simple kids game the guns were good fun and it had some good level design too.
