Codemasters has inked a deal with Majesco to bring 12 Wii, DS and PSP titles to Europe, as it targets the family-orientated market. The partnership will see eight titles released this year, including Cake Mania for Wii and Toy Shop for the DS, and another four games scheduled for 2009.
Nintendic, by Andrew Macarthy on January 17th, 2008 at 17:10 Nintendic first learnt about the development of Majesco's Toy Shop for the Nintendo DS last October. Challenging players to save an inherited family business, the firm hopes that it will build on the casual gaming success established by the likes of Cooking Mama and Cake Mania. Nintendic has new details and the latest screenshots.
Utilising a management style of gameplay, Toy Shop has three play modes. In Store Management, players build and design their shop, then flog as many toys as they can to their customers. There will even be special themed events at Christmas and Halloween, when the shop can be decorated accordingly to lure in more customers. (A process that is likely to be infinitely more enjoyable on DS than it proved in the real-life birthday card shop we once worked in.)
