When my husband and I decided to get the Wii, we envisioned it being years before our children would be able to enjoy it. A majority of the games we own are for us…to keep our minds and our bodies active. But as I’m learning, there is no shortage of games targeted towards preschoolers just like my son.
Yesterday THQ, a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software debuted SpongeBob SquigglePants for Nintendo Wii (with DS to follow). The game is played on uDraw, an accessory that allows users to draw and then visualize their creations on the screen. Players will tilt, flick, tap, and draw through over 100 Nanogames in 6 different worlds. I can tell you from seeing the game for the first time last night, that each world looks very different, thereby giving you a unique experience. Patchy the Pirate, who is the president of SpongeBob’s fan club in the show, guides players through the game where players can create, color, and draw with custom paints, palettes, stamps, and art tools. What’s neat about the game is that the artwork created can be printed, saved, and shared. And, many of the art styles featured in the game are never before seen artwork from the Nickelodeon Vault.
Here are some photos from the launch party:
SpongeBob SquigglePants is available now for the Wii and retails for $29.99.
No compensation was received for this post. I attended a media event and received a copy of the game.

Good post here Caryn. I didn’t realise how interactive this game was going to be ’til I read your comment about it also being ‘shared’, this game just looks better the more I find out about it!
