Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that they are developing an all-new intellectual property. The new game is called as EA Playground and will release for the Nintendo DS and the Wii. It will have interactive fun with immersive activities designed for kids as well as for adults.
EA Playground Overview:
- EA Playground features games that are easy to pick-up-and-play by fully capitalizing on the unique control mechanics of both the Wii and the Nintendo DS. Swing the Wii remote to excel in tetherball, blow into the Nintendo DS mic to fire spitballs or battle your friends and family in dodgeball. Each game brings its own twist to the controls for the ultimate, all-ages, party game.
- In EA Playground, you don’t always have to be playing with your friends and family in order to have fun. Explore the world on your own as you enter different locations, unlocking new activities, making ‘off the wall’ in-game friends and collecting rewards and stickers to upgrade your abilities along the way.
Dave McCarthy, Executive producer says, “Young, old, male or female, EA Playground has something for everyone. EA Playground transports you to your fantasy playground, packed with interesting characters, over-the top gameplay, and a ton of collectables. Kids can bring the enthusiasm of the playground home, and parents or even grandparents can re-experience their childhood joys.”
EA Playground will release for the Nintendo DS and the Wii in Autumn 2007. It is being developed at EA Canada, the same studio that has worked on games like FIFA Soccer, NHL, NBA LIVE and EA SPORTS Fight Night.
