UBISOFT ANNOUNCES COSMIC FAMILY(TM) FOR THE Wii(TM)
Space Adventure for Children Promotes Early Learning Through Stimulating and Fun Mini-Games
SAN FRANCISCO - January 16, 2007 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that Cosmic Family(TM), an exciting space adventure geared toward young children for the Wii(TM) and developed by Ubisoft's Barcelona studio, will launch worldwide in mid-2007. By simply pointing their Wii Remote(TM), players will embark on an interactive tour of the Cosmic Family's action-packed rocket.
"Cosmic Family is a great title for young Wii players and their families, with simple point-and-click controls that will be easy to learn and provide the freedom to navigate wherever players choose to go," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "Families will enjoy playing this game together, as it unfolds more like an interactive adventure than a traditional video game."
Players will have a chance to interact with the Cosmic Family, where they will meet Mom and Dad Cosmic, Big Sister, the two small children, the aloof dog, the lazy cat, and plenty of colorful monsters. With 15 early-learning mini-games found throughout the five floors of the rocket-house, families can pilot a rocket into space, discover what the stars are hiding, create and color whimsical images, customize rooms, brush a monster's teeth, play dress-up with various characters, nurture plants from seeds and more. This fun, original and colorful game is designed to improve children's memory, hand-eye coordination, creativity and imagination.

Uh oh. No good will come from this. Anything INTENTIONALLY designed for young kids is usually a bust. The best "kids stuff" is usually designed for anyone to enjoy but with content inappropriate for kids not included. In short stuff made for kids sucks but stuff made in such a way that kids CAN enjoy it can be great.

I just hope Disaster: day of crysis could come out so people can see that every wii game doesn't need to be made for kids.

It's like the difference between Cars and Ice Age.

All I can think about at this point is JERKPAC that was buried deep inside Donkey Kong 64.
You know a game sucks when you play a totally unrelated minigame more than you play the actual game

I think the game will need an attractive price.
