2k Play has announced today that it has officially inked a deal with kids network, Nickelodeon to offer titles for the Nintendo Wii and DS and the Playstation 2, based on several shows in the network's line up. Games for these shows include, Go! Diego! Go!, Dora the Explorer, and The Wonder Pets! With the rising popularity of these shows, it isn't surprising that that someone has decided to step up and tackle this market. Several developers will be taking on these projects from High Voltage Software for the Nintendo DS to Black Latern Software for the Playstation 2.

In Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess, players join Dora, Boots and Pirate Piggy on an adventure to save the Magic Snowy Forest from the spell of a witch. Over 12 unique motions are used with the Wii Remote™ to build snowmen, paddle a canoe, steer a dogsled and ride a Pegasus. Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess will be available for Wii, DS and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

Players utilize more than 12 different Wii Remote motions to stomp like a dinosaur, climb across monkey bars, fly on a Pteradon and bounce over obstacles on a pogo stick. Go, Diego, Go!: Great Dinosaur Rescue will be available for Wii, DS and PlayStation 2 system.

In The Wonder Pets!: Save the Animals!, players team up with the popular classroom pets Linny the Guinea Pig, Ming-Ming Duckling and Turtle Tuck to help a Bengal Tiger, Panda Bear and Chimpanzee in need. With the DS stylus and microphone, players tap, drag, blow, speak and circle their way through activities like pulling a thorn from the tiger’s paw, building a ladder to rescue a baby panda and towing the chimpanzee’s space capsule to safety. The Wonder Pets!: Save the Animals! will make its interactive debut on DS.

Each game features the voice actors from the popular Nick Jr. TV shows. The games were tested by kids and moms for age-appropriateness, fun-factor and quality, and the packaging features a “Kid-Tested” seal. For the console games, parents and siblings can collaborate with younger gamers by using the special Helper feature and a second controller.
The Wii and PlayStation 2 system titles are being developed by High Voltage and the DS titles by Black Lantern Software. For more information, please visit www.2kgames.com/2kplay.
