EA Playground officially announced

Wii News | First images revealed.
EA has officially confirmed via a press release that one of the new IP's they're developing for the Wii is EA Playground. EA Playground will also be coming to the Nintendo DS and is a game designed for kids and "the kid inside all of us." It was revealed last month that EA Playground was in development but details were scarce.

“Young, old, male or female -- EA Playground has something for everyone,” said Executive producer Dave McCarthy. “EA Playground transports you to your fantasy playground, packed with interesting characters, over-the top gameplay, and a ton of collectables. Kids can bring the excitement of the playground home, and parents or even grandparents can re-experience their childhood thrills.”

The press release was rather vague on what exactly we can expect from the game, but one of the examples provided was that you will be able to swing the Wii remote to excel in tetherball. In the DS version you'll be able to fire spitballs with the Nintendo DS microphone or battle friends in Dodgeball.

The first few images for EA Playground can be found in our media panel.

Sounds like it will be a fun game, especially with being able to fire spitballs etc. Knowing EA though it will get plenty of installments and add-ons.

And all the work done by Manhunt 2 to show a mature side to the Wii is dashed away...

I thought this was announced ages ago, and Dare had screenshots which made the game look like it was N64 graphics, I'm sure I have seen those pictures before...
