DISNEY INTERACTIVE STUDIOS
ANNOUNCES DISNEY FAIRIES: TINKER BELL AND THE LOST TREASURE FOR NDS
The new title in the Disney
Fairies video game series will launch this October, coinciding with the
upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of the all-new movie
Disney Interactive Studios today
announced Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure for Nintendo DS™.
The game will launch in North America the same day as the all-new Blu-ray and
DVD release from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and connects with the
Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow virtual world from Disney Online in new ways. Disney
Fairies: Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure follows last year’s successful debut
of the Disney Fairies franchise on Nintendo DS.
"Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
allows fans to once again play as one of the most enduring characters in Disney
history, in the beautiful world of Pixie Hollow,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice
president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “Fans can play
through memorable scenes from the film, let their imaginations run wild when
creating and customizing their very own Fairies and experience new levels of
integration with the Pixie Hollow virtual world."
Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell and the
Lost Treasure expands on the forthcoming movie in which the Disney Fairies
prepare for the Autumn Revelry, where Tinker Bell has been selected to create
the prestigious Fall Scepter that can rejuvenate the Pixie Dust tree. When good
friend Terence offers to help, Tinker Bell’s stubbornness and temper get the
best of her, causing her to shatter her creation – the scepter’s fragile
moonstone and her friendship with Terence. To make things right, Tinker Bell
must now embark on a perilous quest to north of Never Land and find the Mirror
of Incanta, which will grant her one wish.
In the game, players have a choice
of roles. They can create and customize up to five of their very own Fairies,
and help prepare for the Autumn Revelry by participating in a series of
mini-games, quests and puzzles. Players can collect a variety of items, such as
snowflakes, sunflower seeds and spider silk, to create clothing, accessories and
items to decorate their home. Fans can also engage in exciting movie-based game
play as Tinker Bell to find the lost treasure north of Never Land.
Similar to last year’s release of
Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell, the player experience expands beyond the DS game
into the online world of Pixie Hollow. For the first time, players can upload an
original customized Fairy avatar from the DS to the virtual world, where more
than 16 million Fairies have been created to date. Once a Fairy has been
uploaded from their DS game, players will gain access to an exclusive online
quest, and when completed will unlock a special item both in the online world of
Pixie Hollow and in the DS game.
Players can also transfer various
gatherables collected in the DS game to PixieHollow.com, which can then be
integrated into pre-existing online inventories. The link between the two
platforms is further strengthened with the ability for fans to receive
up-to-date news and polls from the online world on their DS. The synergy between
the two platforms translates into a unique experience only Disney can provide to
fans around the world.
Also included in Disney Fairies:
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is DGamer, the online community exclusive to
Disney gamers on Nintendo DS, allowing players to connect with others and unlock
additional items in their DS game.
Developed by Hyde, Disney
Fairies:Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure will be available this fall for
Nintendo DS.
