Scholastic Media to make DS games

Scholastic media has announced that they are braking into the videogame industry on the Nintendo DS:
Scholastic Media (SM), a leading producer of quality, family-oriented media including feature films, home video, TV and interactive products, and a division of Scholastic Inc., today announced that it will support the Nintendo DS with two new games for the platform in 2007: I SPY Fun House and Scholastic Animal Genius. Both games will deliver unmatched gameplay, which is fun and accessible for players of all ages.

I SPY Fun House will build on Scholastic Media's popular I SPY franchise with brain-teasing riddles and fast-paced games played exclusively using the Nintendo DS stylus and touch screen. Animal Genius will appeal to players of all ages who are passionate about animals. Featuring stunning, photo-realistic imagery of animals in their natural habitat, the game will challenge the players' knowledge about where animals live, how they behave and what makes them unique. Both titles will be distributed at retail, mass merchants, and wholesale accounts as well as through Scholastic's proprietary channels.

"Scholastic Media is a content leader in the publishing and media industries, with some of the most popular and critically-acclaimed franchises for kids. We are proud to bring that pedigree of quality interactive products to Nintendo DS with two new games that are both entertaining and challenging for gamers of all skill levels," said Alan Waldman, Senior Vice President, Scholastic Interactive Products Group.

In I SPY Fun House, players find themselves trapped inside a carnival Fun House, tasked with collecting nine inventory items that will "unlock" the exit. Full of twists and turns, optical illusions and surprises around every corner, the Fun House will consist of six I SPY riddle screens, 18 I SPY riddles, and three fast-paced games to challenge the mind. As players pan around the room, they will be able to visually recognize different objects that populate the Fun House. These objects are the gateways into the games and riddles that must be completed to escape the Fun House.

Animal Genius puts players' animal smarts to the test. Using the Nintendo DS stylus, players must compete in five different games, which require a combination of quick thinking and sharp reflexes. The five games include Creature Collector, Scratch 'N See, Matchomatic, Maze Munch and Animal Expert.

Cat[girl]urday: Faster Runner Tiffy

Due to my love of Nekomimis I have decided to post something catgirl related each week! It maybe cute. It maybe sexy. It may even be a bit disturbing... Tiffy at sunset -Art by fast-runner-2024 Lately, this is the part of the post I use to make up a backstory to this weeks featured nekomimi related art. This week, however, I am going to do something I have not done in a while. You might remember Tiffy from past post but do you really know much about her? Lately, I have not covered original characters as deeply as I have in the past. I will always try to credit the artist but have not done a deeper dive in a bit. While looking up images these past weeks I have noticed a new watermark on Tiffy’s images leading to http://nottykittytiffy.tumblr.com [nsfw]. So after choosing one of these amazing works I thought I would take a closer look this time. To make life a little easier Tiffy is an American catgirl. This means all of fast-runner-2024’s pages are in English and are easy

Innovate or Alienate

Image from Sony It is hard to believe that Spider-Man comes out this Friday! I was lucky enough to find a Limited Edition PS4 still available to preorder a few weeks back. When gyro controls were added to the Switch version of Fortnight people started to request them on the PS4. I forgot the PS3 and PS4 had gyros. For the most part, I have sat this generation out and have not touched a PS4. I started looking into the controller more and started looking into games that use its unique features. It seems like not many games use the gyro, touchpad, speaker, etc. This makes me wonder what it takes to innovate game controllers and hardware. Nintendo has taken more drastic steps in the past with systems like the Wii. The motion controllers were so different developers had to makes games just for them. The drawbacks were clear and it was one of the reasons not many 3 rd party games were ported. Even the Switch has many of its function left underutilized like the depth sensor and H
