New Video Game Features Dance Moves to the Hottest Kids’ Pop Songs and Classic Kids’ Favorites
SAN FRANCISCO – August 6, 2010 – Today, Ubisoft announced the development of Just Dance Kids, a new video game title in the multi-million selling Just Dance franchise and the No. 1 selling music/rhythm franchise on the Nintendo Wii™ system. Developed exclusively for Nintendo Wii™, Just Dance Kids includes a variety of kid-friendly songs with over 40 fun dances created by professional choreographers and led by real kids. The game will launch exclusively in North America in November 2010.
“Kids will instantly recognize the hit tunes featured in Just Dance Kids and enjoy learning fun choreography designed with them in mind,” said Adam Novickas, U.S. director of marketing at Ubisoft. “Just Dance Kids is a great way for the family to interact together and learn new dance routines, in addition to providing a great form of exercise – as players will be moving and grooving to the entertaining dance moves.”
Torrance, Calif., (August 6, 2010) – XSEED Games is pleased to announce today that Ivy the Kiwi? has gone gold and will begin shipping to retailers across North America August 24th, 2010. Ivy the Kiwi? will be available on Wii for the suggested retail price of $29.99 and on Nintendo DS for the suggested retail price of $19.99. Developed by PROPE, the development studio led by the legendary creator of Sonic Yuji Naka, Ivy the Kiwi? is rated “E” for everyone.
An eye-catching game inspired by classic children’s tales and hand-drawn art, Ivy the Kiwi? follows the storybook adventures of lonely baby bird Ivy as she traverses beautiful 2-D landscapes and challenging obstacles in search of her mother and identity. In a nod to classic adventure tales and heroines before her, Ivy begins her journey against great odds and with a grand entrance—a great fall from the sky. From the forest floor amidst a bed of leaves, her journey begins. It becomes quickly apparent that Ivy is alone. Frightened and unable to fly, she sets off through a dreamy forest on foot—or is it claw? Many creatures peek from behind leaves and rocks to investigate the mysterious little creature, but none with the same fiery red coloring as she. As she wanders, Ivy stumbles upon a single red feather, the first clue to her mother’s whereabouts and the catalyst of the little heroine’s quest.

“I’ve been most impressed with the Nintendo 3DS. The Resident Evil demo was very impressive. The real time graphics in that are very impressive and I’ve already seen things that I can learn from that.” – Masahiro Sakurai
At E3, it didn’t seem like Revelations was blowing players away. But for some reason, people have really sounded like they’ve enjoyed it since then. I’m certainly looking forward to it, and I was surprised to learn that the official trailer Capcom released was running in real time.
