Nintendo gets (more) Happy Feet

I'm sure we all could have predicted this but Warner Bros. Interactive have just announced Happy Feet Two - The Videogame will be coming to the Wii, 3DS and DS this autumn.

"In Happy Feet Two - The Videogame, kids will not only love playing on their own, they will have even more fun playing side-by-side cooperatively with friends and family members, or compete in penguin dance showdowns and belly sliding races," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "The game's all new, controller-based dance system uses the player's rhythm to enhance the dancing competitions, and the gameplay lets kids interact with their favourite characters from the film."

In the game, new dangers are threatening the penguin nation, and it's going to take everyone working - and dancing - together to save them from extinction. Players use dance moves to recruit penguins with unique abilities that help advance the adventure, stun opponents and enemies, as well as manipulate the environment around them to solve co-operative puzzles.

For the ultimate experience, players can dance their Antarctic adventure in 3D. The game will be available in full 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. The Wii and Nintendo DS versions feature traditional 2D.

All of the music in the game is composed and performed by Ozomatli, the popular, Los Angeles-based band whose music is a combination of hip-hop, salsa, dancehall, cumbia, samba, funk, merengue, Jamaican ragga, and Indian raga influences. They were joined by Robert Carranza, a Grammy nominated mixer/engineer. The upbeat score, including a song with Lil' P-Nut, an eight year-old rapper also featured in the movie, will appeal to kids and parents alike.

Happy Feet Two - The Videogame is being developed for Wii by KMM Games and for 3DS and DS by WayForward Technologies.
