Majesco makes a Humongous deal for Wii games
Majesco has announced a deal to bring Humongous Entertainment's venerable series of kids' games to the Wii this year. Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and SPY Fox will make their first appearances on the Wii in "mid-2008" in a series of point-and-click adventure games developed by Interactive Game Group.Pajama Sam in Don't Fear the Dark, Freddi Fish in Kelp Seed Mystery, and SPY Fox in Dry Cereai will all retail for $19.99. These are all the first titles in their respective series, and it is currently unclear whether any changes have been made other than Wiimote integration. This may not be of huge interest to adult gamers, but parents will be happy to have some proven games for kids on the Wii. At the very least, having three more adventure games on the Wii may raise the system's profile as a destination for point-and-click.[Via press release]
