Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 1

18/09/2009

This WiiWare title will teach your kids numbers, letters, lateralization, shapes, colors and more, and they don't even need to know how to read to play.

Let's Play Ballerina

Live your secret dream of being a pretty, pretty ballerina in this upcoming release.

Storybook Workshop

Storybook Workshop immerses kids and their parents in 16 classic children's fairytales and fables through the use of the included USB microphone that allows you to read along, record and play back readings of your favorite stories.

Charm Girls Club

EA's new series hopes to introduce young girl gamers to their new BFFs.

Horrid Henry

Based on the famous series of children's books, Horrid Henry is coming to games in an adventure game featuring many of his friends.

Jakers! Let's Explore

Inspired by the PBS Emmy award-winning animated children's TV series, the Jakers! game is told as a flashback of the main character, Piggley Winks, as he tells childhood stories to his grandchildren of growing up in rural Ireland. Each storyline presents simple educational points such as sharing and working together.

Littlest Pet Shop Friends

Party Fun Pirate

This WiiWare game lets you take turns thrusting swords into a pirate stuffed barrel. Personalize the experience by stuffing a custom Mii in the barrel and show the person its based on how you really feel.

Crayola Colorful Journey

Space Camp

For those who couldn't go to Space Camp as a child, become an astronaut in training and play out your space camp dreams. Play space mini-games and make your way back to earth.

26/06/2009

Offering more than six playable characters, Dawn of the Dinosaurs allows players to master the unique abilities and combat skills of each through a variety of gameplay including action-platforming challenges, side-scrolling missions and puzzle solving.

Bakugan

Based on the Bakugan animated TV series and toy line, Bakugan promises intense battles, the ability to create your own brawler, cartoon quality graphics and multiplayer combat.

Hotel for Dogs

Take a look at the dogs but don't expect them to play much.

Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors

SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring Nicktoons - Globs of Doom

Think of Ratchet and Clank, only slowed by molasses, ugly, and incredibly boring. That imagined, please do not buy this game, as Globs of Doom is all that and more (less?).

Bolt

As the dog superhero Bolt, players use superpowers to devastate opponents - and as his human sidekick Penny, players utilize stealth and hacking skills to outwit enemies. So... it's like Inspector Gadget, but without Inspector Gadget and somehow Brain has superpowers.

Escape the Museum

Players wander through the museum's maze of 12 different hunt and find areas and 25 action-packed adventure scenes, using the Wii Remote to uncover hidden exits and save priceless archaeological artifacts.

Coraline

Like a lot of licensed stuff, this largely coasts by on inherited elements from the movie. Fans will doubtless gain some satisfaction out of simply being in the world, but, as usual, Coraline isn’t very good at being a game.

Igor The Game

12/12/2008

So, there's this movie coming out, starring John Cusack as Igor - a mad scientist's henchman who dreams of winning the Evil Science Fair so that one day he can become an evil scientist. This is the obligatory spin-off of that movie and somehow we doubt Mr. Cusack will be doing the voice work.

Toki Tori - Wii Software

Based on the critically acclaimed Game Boy Color game, this update improves the original with a new look, updated content and a completely overhauled Wii Remote control scheme.
