PlayV bringing cult children’s animation to DS in November 2009

Play V, the UK-based publishing venture co-funded by V2.Play and Playlogic, has announced that Lola and Virginia will be released for Nintendo DS on 14th November. Forming part of PlayV’s family-friendly line-up, Lola and Virginia draws on the TV series to create an open RPG set in the school where the humorous animated series takes place.

Lola and Virginia, produced by Imira Entertainment, is an animated series aimed at 6-12 year olds, telling the age-old story of rich and poor. Lola comes from an average neighbourhood and takes care of her two younger brothers whilst wearing second-hand clothes and hand-me-downs. All goes well until rich girl Virginia arrives at the school. Rich, beautiful and a hit with the boys, Virginia sparks huge envy in Lola and sets the stage for a series of clashes, strategic plots and competitions as the two girls battle for popularity.

All of the information below comes from a huge “Scribes” update from Rare:

“No immediate plans to put Kazooie or Tooie on Virtual Console, as you might expect now that they’re both due out on Xbox Live Arcade.” – (Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie on VC)

“Nevertheless, requests for Banjo Pilot 2 don’t come along every day, even wholly impractical ones. Let’s see what someone who worked on the original game has to say on the matter:

‘No.’

I’m afraid I can’t clarify whether that’s ‘no’ to the inclusion of every single Banjo character, ‘no’ to any possibility of a sequel whatsoever, or just a “no” of quiet horror at your typing. – (Possibilities of Banjo Pilot 2)

“We have nothing to disclose on DS projects at the moment, but I’d say big brand spin-offs would be more likely than all-new properties, the DS market being so vast that the extra push of recognisable IP is often needed to help a title stand out. But who knows? One of our designers might come up with a brilliant idea for a stylus-controlled game about wafting aside clouds of cow flatulence, and we’d be off like a shot.” – (Future DS projects)


The characters look pretty identical to me! But remember: None of your bells from the DS version of the game will transfer over. Which, sadly, means that you will have to work for Tom Nook…Again.
