2K Play, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. and Nickelodeon today announced that Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids and Go, Diego, Go!: Safari Rescue are now available exclusively for the Nintendo DS. As the first titles to be released under the recent preschool-focused game publishing agreement between the companies, the games feature Nick Jr.'s popular Dora and Diego characters and include voiceover talent from the TV shows. The releases mark the debut of both series on the popular Nintendo DS system.
By tapping into the creative technology of the Nintendo DS, both games showcase new ways to play handheld titles. In Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids, examples of enhanced interactivity include using the stylus for cleaning garbage off the beach and counting seashells, while the microphone is used to call dolphins to assist Dora. In Go, Diego Go!: Safari Rescue, players use the stylus to tap on a magic drum and drag obstacles out of Diego's way, while using the microphone to call out to animals and blowing into it to propel a hot air balloon up the mountainside.
Tomorrow, those of you with PlayStation Plus subscriptions and a taste for blood and vengeance can join in the God of War: Ascension Beta. Demon’s Souls is also hitting PSN for the very first time. But if gratuitous violence or sadism and masochism aren’t your cup of tea, check out the fantastic new PS2 Classics incoming this week – they’re infinitely more tame (wink wink).
It's better together. Maybe if they all stood in a circle they could jerk necks until their heads pop off.
God Of War can't wait good to be a plus member right now
No vita game? Chronovolt was weak. At least give us quality psp and ps1 games that instead
Don't worry, chronovault won't be free tomorrow. So that means soon we'll have a new free game for Vita plus. :)
By seeing the PS+ update, I'm afraid so. :(
Go to "Expiring soon" on the PS+ section in the store, you'll see Chronovault is on that list! it sucks but there's always next week right?
Two new PS2 Classics digital re-releases for the Playstation 3 have been revealed in the latest listing update from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
Out of all the ps2 games, out of some of the greatest titles ever released in the history of gaming, they give us freakin dora. Wtf sony?
They cancel the the KIllzone ps2 classic, but give us this???? what the hell!!!!?!?!?!?!??!
socom, smugglers run and killzone. ah my childhood....
no but yeah socom2 on the Ps store! there were only 40 people playing online yesterday in the world, it's getting sadder and sadder as the months go on... im thankful that the servers are still up tho.
@tehpees3 Those, along with the original killzone, are my favorite ps2 games ever and are part of my fondest memories:)
@tehpees3 Smugglers run was the first game I bought when I got my first ps2... Wow you just brought back some memories..
never even knew there was a such thing on ps2... i just want some dark cloud 1 & 2, klonoa 2, the bouncer, manhunt, and the warriors.
@ Ockbar..
props for bringing up The Bouncer..would have spit out drink..
I'm still hoping they announce the original Killzone HD in 3D..
But would scream like a girl who saw a giant spider if they announce King's Field HD collection.
If Team ICO could bless us with Shadow in 3D..anything is possible..
Evil
I agree for Socom for singleplayer but the only is abandoned. Nobody is on there. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they shutting down the Socom servers?
@ flankhim,
They definitely need to put the Socom games in the store. Other games I can think of would be:
- Killzone
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
- Gran Turismo 2, 3 & 4
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 & 4
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
- Medal of Honor: Frontline
- Medal of Honor: Rising Sun
- Medal of Honor: European Assault
- Star Wars: Battlefront
- Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
- Star Wars: Starfighter
- Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
- Black
When I hear "PS2 classic" I imagine a game that's classic in terms of being great...not a random game being called classic cause it's fucking antique lol. Waste of space on disc or PSN bandwidth lol.
OMG!! Sony released a KID'S GAME! WTF were they thinking?!?!?!?! Now the PS3 is DOOMED!!!!
Sony were not kidding when they said that they want to make this xmas a family xmas.
What??
The next GT is in development.
I get HD remakes (In fact, I love them).
However.. not for Simulations.
This is comparable to making an HD remake for NFL 2K6.
The game looks way and plays better than many of those wanted classics but I agree, when you hear "classic" the last thing that comes to your mind is Dora.
However, not against its release as long as the library of PS2 games on the PS3 increases so everyone can find something to play.
Similar to how PSP library has grown for PS Vita, I know people complains about the lack of new content on Vita men for guys like me that took a long break of the PSP until a real handheld that wasn't a turn off when switching between PS3 quality and handheld quality showed up (=PSV) there are a lot of games there to keep me busy...catching up with lots of PSP games, super cheap today!
back to topic, I'm a dad and can see the value in a Dora game, not everybody plays in it's room games, gamers also grow up and get kids ;)
Pick it up! It was one of the best games of last generation and it still looks pretty good even to today's standards.
I never played it either but remember reading about it when it originally came out, back then I wasn't much of a horror fan.
Do PS2 classics ever go on sale?
Was it really that good? I've never heard of it. At first I was excited because at first glance it looked like silent hill, but I guess they won't do that since they have the hd collection.
The only people I knew who had a problem of the game was gamers who played it assuming that it played like Resident Evil and like your comment revealed Capcom never gave that game any exposure whatsoever.
Haunting Ground was pretty cool. Not on the Silent Hill level but very under-rated.
Haunting Ground, the game that took survival horror to the next level but got criminally underrated due to people misunderstanding it's vision. It was a huge game with no load times, brilliant puzzles and disturbing yet awesome cast with a ton of unlockables to boot.
You want to play the game that was the understudy for Amnesia then please pick this up if you haven't already....
Random fact: This game ran on the Resident Evil Outbreak engine.
So true, I got up to the part where that creepy ass women hunts you down with a knife.Scared the crap out of me.
Brilliant game.
Haunting Ground was the game with the dog that made a guest appearance in RE4, right?
I remember Huey and Fiona making an appearance in Tatsunoko vs Capcom but the stray dog in Resident Evil 4 does look alot like him. Never noticed it until now, thanks for reminding me......
I will definetilly pick haunting ground. If they launch clock tower games and Rule of Rose then I will complete my collection for The best survival horror games I missed on the PS2
Dora the Explorer was a masterpiece. It almost exactly replicated the experience of the T.V. which in itself is beautiful. The Graphics are also incredible as they bring Dora to life as you have never seen before.
the back pack song nearly sent me crazy and the stupid ask a map one uggghhh im glad my kids are older now
Some red-hot licenses just shouldn't be pursued. Here's five television properties that got their own game to humanity's eternal shame.
Who exactly is the audience for a Murder, She Wrote game? Oh, right. Your mom.
Also, my mom.
I'm sure there are some TV shows that would make good games...how about The Walking Dead? (I know they're already making one, but hold on I'm doing a bit)
It would be like Mass Effect meets Left 4 Dead, except it's 99% conversations and 1% zombie attacks.
TWD should not be a video game OR a tv series. It should just be the comic, although I am happy for Robert Kirkman.
How could this author include the Law and Order games (there have actually been a few of them) and not include the CSI games? At least the Law and Order games worked - the last time I played a CSI game it was broken out of the box.
