In a move that will no doubt provide haters and fanboys with ammunition in their "Nintendo is teh kiddie" war, Ubisoft has announced an early learning adventure title for the Wii.
Cosmic Family (which will hit shelves in mid-2007, likely months prior to
Metroid: Corruption,
Super Mario Galaxy, or anything else Dtoid readers care about) will be designed to enhance a child's memory, hand-eye coordination, creativity, and imagination. So in other words, it's going to be a video game.
From
Next Generation:
Described as “more like an interactive adventure than a traditional videogame,” Cosmic Family features a family living on a five-floor rocket ship. The game incorporates 15 early-learning minigames that let young players “create and color whimsical images, customize rooms, brush a monster’s teeth, play dress-up with various characters, nurture plants from seeds and more” using simple point-and-click controls.
Did they say "brush a monster's teeth"? I smell a midnight release brewing.

Haha, nice.

Maybe I'm just a rare type of gamer but my cube has never collected dust.
“more like an interactive adventure than a traditional videogame,”
My favorite sport is more like two teams of people skating around trying to put small pieces of rubber into the other's net with sticks, than hockey.
