Disney Pixar's Wall-E drummed up box office success and big critical acclaim, but the THQ-published game has been struggling at retail.
THQ announced today that it has shipped WALL-E for every current viable platform, including Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, DS, Windows, and even Mac and mobile phones. In all, the game based on the Pixar movie will be released in over 69 countries in the coming months.
Ars Technica reports: WALL-E, aside from probably being the biggest family movie of the year, is also making waves in the video game industry by being the first localized video game to hit the current generation of consoles in the Middle East. THQ and Pluto Games revealed that the movie's tie-in game will actually have versions released in Arabic in an effort to appeal to gamers around the region.
