Activision has made The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure official. The side-scrolling exploration platformer game is coming to both Wii U and 3DS on November 3.
Here’s the official overview:
In The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure, Snoopy explores the fantastical worlds of his imagination to track down Charlie Brown and his friends in an intricate game of hide-and-seek. As he follows their trails, Snoopy will acquire new costumes (based on his many alter egos) that provide unique abilities for overcoming obstacles and reaching new levels, including flight stages that let him take off as the Flying Ace. From the jungle to Paris to the moon itself, each environment is painted gorgeously in the same visual style as The Peanuts Movie to bring to life every colorful detail of Snoopy’s wild daydreams. The game also includes voice talent from the film.
The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure challenges curiosities of any age with comfortable, pick-up-and-go controls and plenty of lighthearted surprises to discover. A second player can join the adventure as Woodstock to aid Snoopy by distracting creatures, opening new paths and helping locate hidden collectibles..

Guitar Hero Live – Hero Powers details and screenshots
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Screenshots, Wii U | 0 comments
With Guitar Hero Live set to make an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con in just a few days, Activision and FreeStyleGames are showing off the game’s Hero Powers.
Here’s the official overview:
If you remember Star Power from previous games in the franchise, Hero Powers in Guitar Hero Live are a lot like that, only much cooler. Hero Powers can be used in GHTV to give you power-ups that affect different areas of gameplay. You can activate a Hero Power to boost your score while playing solo, or to give you a competitive edge during multiplayer. They are activated by the familiar tilt of the guitar, or you can just hit the Hero Power button directly on the guitar controller.
Higher scores allow you to earn even more rewards and level up faster.
Take a look at the gallery below for screenshots of Guitar Hero Live’s Hero Powers along with a fact sheet with additional information.

Here’s some random but interesting news. With the exception of World at War (which used GameSpy servers), the Call of Duty games on Wii still have workable online multiplayer. In this day and age when servers tend to be turned off a little quickly, that’s slightly surprising!
