Lola And Virginia Arrive On
Nintendo DS

PlayV bringing cult children’s
animation to DS in November 2009

Play V has announced that Lola and
Virginia will be released for Nintendo DS on 14th November. Forming part of
PlayV’s family-friendly line-up, Lola and Virginia draws on the TV series to
create an open RPG set in the school where the humorous animated series takes
place.

Lola and Virginia, produced by Imira
Entertainment, is an animated series aimed at 6-12 year olds, telling the
age-old story of rich and poor. Lola comes from an average neighbourhood and
takes care of her two younger brothers whilst wearing second-hand clothes and
hand-me-downs. All goes well until rich girl Virginia arrives at the school.
Rich, beautiful and a hit with the boys, Virginia sparks huge envy in Lola and
sets the stage for a series of clashes, strategic plots and competitions as the
two girls battle for popularity.

The Nintendo DS version of Lola and
Virginia, developed by V2.Play, gives players the opportunity to help Lola
overcome Virginia’s huge advantages as the plucky hero embarks on a series of
quests around her school. In line with the TV series, character-driven puzzles
and quests will be spun around everyday life for 6-12 year olds, touching on
themes of friendship and popularity, fashion, first loves and peer pressure.

Brian Faller, Marketing Manager at
PlayV, comments: "Lola and Virginia is a fantastic licence for PlayV. Its
setting, and surprisingly astute humour, makes it a great fit for the intended
age group, as well as older female gamers looking for a bit of school-based
nostalgia. As part of our ever-increasing family line-up, Lola and Virginia will
be a perfect fit for anyone buying a DS for their children this Christmas."

Lola And Virginia will be released
on 14th November 2009.
