Foster's: Imagination Invaders videogame for Nintendo DS - coming November - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Man, I am one busy little bee of late,but I thought I'd hop along briefly and share this semi-interesting tidbit I found on IGN. Aren't I good to you?

In short, it seems that Bloo and co. are going interactive on Nintendo handhelds again, following on from last year's Game Boy Advance title Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, from Crave Entertainment. This November, however, it's the snazzier, more fashionable Nintendo DS getting a piece of the Foster's lovin', courtesy this time of publishers Midway.

Here's the very brief blurb from the IGN news article:

Quote:

Master Blooregard Q. Kazoo hits the Nintendo DS in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Imagination Invaders. New space aliens have been imagined and have taken Madam Foster hostage in search of the The Greatest Thing in the Universe, and you, as Bloo, must rescue her.

Sounds to me like the plot of the game is based loosely on that of the episode "Make Believe It Or Not"...well, that's about all we know for now, so discuss, I guess. Licenced games do have a tendency of sucking, particularly when they're based on kids' shows, and the Foster's GBA game was no exception from most accounts; still, I suppose it's encouraging that this new title is being produced by a slightly more upmarket publisher, and on a beefier machine. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but who knows? Maybe it'll be at least diverting.

Thanks for the info. I'd like to see a Foster's game for a non-handheld, myself but whatever. Of course, I don't have a Nintendo DS...

Sounds like an awesome video game. I can't wait!

Let me know when it's available for PC.

OH MY GOOD GOLLY GOSH!!

I've SO gotta get it, and I'll enjoy it even if it ain't fun.

Wait, that does't make any sense....

I wanna PC game.

Oh well. It looks like a "Cheese a Go Go"/"Make Believe it or Not"
Type thing.

Well Midway did do a half decent job on another game based on a Cartoon Network property, that being The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, so hopefully this new Foster's game will fall into the same category.

Once we get a look at some pictures of the early build of the game we'll have a better idea of what to expect.

All glory to the Gamecube!

Sorry, I just had to throw that out there.

Foster?s Home for Imaginary Friends: Imagination Invaders

The episode of 'Make Believe it or Not' is transformed into a Nintendo DS Game. Goo's Space Nut Boogies return (arrive first time? eh) in the house and you have to find the greatest thing in the universe.

Seems cute. I won't buy it, since who knows when they'll release it in Australia. Have any of you guys seen/heard of it yet?

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere in other gaming boards. I just felt it deserved it's own place.

Well, as long as it doesn't suck like it did when Foster's got released for the GBA, I'm cool.

First time I've heard of this.
