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 (www.PixieHollow.com) 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. ...by Published on June 2nd, 2009 22:34

Sony has announced plans to release Buzz! Quiz World for PS3 and PSP "later this year" in PAL territories.
The new PS3 release allows you to build a personal player profile, which tracks how you're doing "not through a leaderboard but through the words of Buzz himself".
Yes, Jason Donavon will address you by name and keep notes especially for you, quipping about you as you play.
There are also 5000 brand new questions, new character models, new rounds "including a highly messy gunge tank round" and other new game modes.
Those of you who like sofa-versus-sofa play over PlayStation Network will also enjoy the eight-player match-ups, we expect.
Meanwhile, the matching PSP version has 4500 questions (and can download additional packs from the internet), and includes an improved Pass Around mode for six players.

Sony has announced that SingStar: Motown will head to PS3 and PS2 this year, packing songs from legends like Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and Stevie Wonder.
There's little else to go on for now, and we presume a tracklist will be forthcoming. But otherwise this is much the same deal as SingStar Queen and SingStar ABBA.
Sony also promises brand new online community features for SingStar PS3 this September. These will be a video editor that has an "array of special effects" to spruce up home movies, and SingStar Clubs - a tool allowing like-mined members of SingStar Online to group together and share stuff.
