Ed, Edd n Eddy, an original, half-hour series from creator and executive

producer Danny Antonucci, tells the story of three best friends who band

together to tackle one of life's most daunting challenges-puberty. Though

they have the same first name and live on the same cul-de-sac in the

suburbs, the three boys' personalities are as different as they are

ridiculous. They're genuinely confused by the world, but they're too cool

to admit it. Bolstered by the power of adolescent ignorance, they plunge

headlong into outlandish summertime adventures that would be unbelievable if

they weren't so close to the reality of every kid's life. Ed, Edd n Eddy

airs Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network.

Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century for Nintendo DS features an original

storyline developed around Eddy losing his precious "Who to Scam and When"

book. When the three friends realize their classmate Kevin has the book in

his hands and an angry mob of kids has developed, they run for the woods.

Splitting up to throw off the crowd, they plan to meet up back at the

cul-de-sac. What they do not know is that several adventures await them on

their quest home. Players take control of the Eds and must make their way

through tricks, traps, angry kids and a barrage of ammunition including soap

and broccoli. Ed, Edd and Eddy finally make their way back to the cul-de-sac

only to find the ultimate obstacle before them: Rolf has built a giant fort

to keep the Eds out forever! Each Ed must use his own special talent to

smash, brainstorm or scam his way inside. Once inside the fort, the Eds

regroup to reclaim Eddy's scam book. But standing in their way is none other

than The Masked Melonhead Avenger and Splinter-The Wonderwood. Let the final

showdown begin!

Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century interactive video game features 13

total stages, special attacks using the touch screen, the option to blow

into the microphone to bring characters back to life, three side story

mini-games and more wacky special items.

Cartoon Network has a strong partnership with D3PA which has also produced

Ben 10: Protector of Earth, the interactive game based on the hit original

series, Ben 10, scheduled for release this fall.
