LPWire: DIS Interactive Announces Piglet's Big Game for GBA and on CDOM
'The Little Pink Guy' Saves the Day in Piglet's Big Game for Game Boy Advance And Piglet's Big Game CD-Rom Two New Disney Interactive Games Featuring Piglet Inspired by Walt Disney Pictures' Animated Film, Piglet's Big Movie
Disney Interactive is
releasing two new games for kids, ages four and up: Piglet's Big Game for Game Boy(R) Advance and Piglet's Big Game CD-ROM. Inspired by Walt Disney Pictures'
upcoming animated feature film, Piglet's Big Movie, both titles place Piglet,
one of the most beloved characters from the Hundred Acre Wood, front and center
in his very own interactive adventure. The movie opens nationwide March 21.
Piglet's Big Game for Game Boy Advance and Piglet's Big Game CD-ROM provide
youngsters with two different gameplay options. Playing as the "the little pink
guy" in both titles, boys and girls can explore enchanting environments with
Piglet and his friends, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl and Eeyore. Piglet's Big Game for Game Boy Advance is a fun-filled adventure that has the
"Very Small Animal" rescuing his friends from their bad dreams. As the residents
of the Hundred Acre Wood settle down to go to sleep for the evening, they begin
having nightmares. Pooh dreams that his honey is gone, Rabbit sees his
harvesting machine is broken, Roo imagines his ball is stuck in a tree, and Eeyore has lost all of the color in his dreams. It is up to Piglet to save the
day by helping his friends find the missing pieces that will turn their bad
dreams into good ones. Filled with five different dream missions of
age-appropriate and engaging gameplay, kids will have a blast delving into this
exciting escapade. Piglet's Big Game CD-ROM is a humorous quest in which children can help
Piglet find the ingredients for the big soup that Rabbit is making to share at a
celebration with all of their friends. Throughout the adventure, kids can
explore the Hundred Acre Wood while solving brain-teasing puzzles that assist in
sharpening their spatial, organizational, strategic and creative thinking
skills. In addition they can participate in four mini-games for additional fun
and laughs. "Piglet's Big Game captures the spirit and fun of the film while creating
another new adventure for one of the treasured characters from the Hundred Acre
Wood," said Bob Picunko, director of marketing, Disney Interactive. "Piglet is a
timeless character and a perfect addition to our interactive products based on
the world of Winnie the Pooh." Piglet's Big Movie brings "the little pink guy" to center stage for a story
of friendship and appreciation as the gang from the Hundred Acre Wood learns
that it doesn't take somebody big to do important things. Piglet gets that
inferior feeling when his friends begin a "honey harvest" and told that he's too
small to help. When Piglet disappears, his pals Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and (of course) Winnie the Pooh use his scrapbook as a map to find him --
and in the process discover this "Very Small Animal" has been a big hero in a
lot of ways. After an eventful search and a dramatic climax, Piglet once again
demonstrates how large an influence he has been on his pals. Availability and Pricing Piglet's Big Game for Game Boy Advance is available for a suggested retail
price of $29.99. Piglet's Big Game CD-ROM is Windows(R) 98 through XP and Macintosh(R) compatible and available for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
