Little Orbit is teaming up with Disney Interactive to bring two new titles to Nintendo platforms.

Planes: Fire & Rescue is due out this fall while a Violetta video game based on the tween telenovela, Violetta, from Disney Channel will launch in late summer. Both titles will be available on Wii, 3DS, and DS.

Planes: Fire & Rescue is releasing in North America, Europe, and Australasia. Little Orbit intends to bring the Violetta game to Europe and Australasia, and South America.

Overviews of both games are as follows:

Planes: Fire & Rescue will extend the storyline of the film, taking fun to the skies with action-packed fire-fighting. Players can embark on adventures with all their favourite characters from the movie.

Violetta will take players on an all-star experience as they experiment with music and rhythm and to become a star performer. Players will collect points to unlock costumes, art and more to customize their musical experience.

Earlier this month, Little Orbit announced a new Cartoon Network multi-property as well as an Adventure Time title. The company also slipped in the confirmation that the Falling Skies Planetary Warfare mobile game would be made for consoles.

We weren’t entirely sure at the time if Nintendo platforms would be included in Little Orbit’s Falling Skies plans. Well, now we have an answer. Amazon has listed a Wii SKU of “Falling Skies: The Game”, confirming the game for Nintendo’s console.

Little Orbit and Cartoon Network Enterprises have announced the expansion of its partnership that will bring various properties to consoles and handhelds later in 2014.

Two brand new titles are on the way. The first one is “a multi-property game that will combine characters from Cartoon Network’s popular original series”, while the other is a new Adventure Time-based project. Both will be available in Q4 2014 in North America, though they will also be distributed worldwide.

More details about the new Cartoon Network and Adventure Time games will be revealed “soon”.

Also worth mentioning, Little Orbit’s Falling Skies Planetary Warfare mobile game will be released on consoles later this year.
