It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a LarryBoy game!

Crave brings hugely popular VeggieTales character to videogame consoles

Newport Beach, Calif.--April 17, 2006--Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, today announced they have signed an agreement with Big Idea, Inc to publish the first VeggieTales interactive title for videogame consoles, LarryBoy and the Bad Apple. The action-adventure game features LarryBoy, the popular plunger-headed crime-fighting cucumber featured in several best-selling videos, in his quest to save the citizens of Bumblyburg from temptation.

"The VeggieTales stories are a big hit with children and adults alike," said Rob Dyer, COO of Crave Entertainment. "This agreement supports our continuing commitment to providing quality, family-friendly interactive entertainment that appeals to a wide audience."

The world needs a hero and LarryBoy is that hero! When trouble appears, the citizens of Bumblyburg call world-famous crime fighter LarryBoy! Aided only by his trusted butler Alfred (played with zest by Archibald Asparagus), plunger-headed LarryBoy is everything that his alter-ego Larry the Cucumber is not: bold... confident... relentlessly driven... brazenly heroic. Well, actually, that's not entirely true. While he tries to create this impression, inside, LarryBoy is still plain-old Larry. LarryBoy attempts to save the day with clever use of his super-suction ears and the many features of the Larry-Mobile. Call him a kinder, gentler, slightly slower superhero!

The game is expected to be available in late Summer 2006 for the PlayStation(r)2 computer entertainment system and Game Boy(r) Advance handheld system for an MSRP of $19.99.

I just realised that even though this is technically the most recent post in the TalkBack, the PGC Newsbot doesn't show up as a poster. So on the main PGC forums page, it said that the last post was by Bill.

I like how the GBA version is the same price as the PS2 version, despite probably being developed over the space of a lunch break instead of a day.

another link between nintendo and apple!

Veggie Tales is the most rancid children's show of all time. Fits in perfectly with most other GBA software, I guess.

What? I don't understand how VeggieTales is worse than half the stuff currently posing as Saturday morning programming. I even think its funny.

Wha? Seriously dude that stuff was a cult hit when I was in high school. I haven't kept up with it much lately, but man we loved us some silly songs. I kind of cringe to see it turned into a licensed GBA game, but we'll see how it goes.

Twenty bucks, eh? If they're not asking full price for a license tie-in (especially a GBA license tie-in) it has to be REALLY bad. Crash-your-console-wreck-your-laser-and-wipe-your-memory-card bad.

MattVDBApril 18, 2006

I"m with Bloodworth on this one. It was a cult classic years ago. I too haven't kept up, but for a while they were on a roll. It at least makes me curious about this game, regardless of how it turns out.

SvevanEvan Burchfield, Staff AlumnusApril 18, 2006

No no no, the game will suck, go to http://www.bigidea.com and look at screens from their PC games. I'm expecting that quality, but a step up from that would still be lame. (I think they like Donkey Kong Country.)

Mario323April 19, 2006

Yeah! The silly songs pwned all! Especially that saboo one. I liked the mute saboo. He didn't say too much.

Ahahah, I love Veggie Tales!

How can anyone not love Veggie Tales? Pirates who don't do anything! Silly songs! Subliminal Christian messages!
