Brand New So Blonde Adventure Coming to Wii and DS

An alternate story to the already released PC adventure game is coming to the Wii and DS with PC like controls using the stylus and IR pointing.

Last week, DTP Entertainment announced their first venture onto Wii and DS: a continuation of the already released PC adventure game, So Blonde. So Blonde for Wii and DS is not a port of the original PC title, nor is it a sequel. Both games will be a retelling of the story with different occurrences in the same basic premise of the original title.

So Blonde stars Sunny, a rich, blonde, seventeen year old girl who is on a cruise in the Caribbean with her parents celebrating their wedding anniversary. One day a thunderstorm strikes, causing Sunny to fall from the ship into a life boat, knocked unconscious. Upon waking up she finds herself washed up on a stranded island that is oddly dark with strange black sand. Over the course of the game Sunny will make her way to the inner island and discover all of the hidden secrets of the dark "Forgotten Island."

As a classic point-and-click adventure title, So Blonde will leverage the DS stylus and the Wii Remote's IR pointing to mimic the mouse-driven gameplay found in the original PC version.

So Blonde will be available in Europe on the Wii and DS sometime in 2009, with no word currently on release elsewhere.

dtp entertainment announces So Blonde for Wii and Nintendo DS: New story, new features

Hamburg/Germany, August 26th, 2008 – Again: She's 17, she's blonde and she only faces "problems" with her hair and make up. No need to worry about anything when Sunny cruises with her rich parents the Caribbean to celebrate their wedding day.

But suddenly a thunderstorm hits the ship, Sunny falls overboard into a life boat. When she regains consciousness, she notices herself being washed ashore on the beach of an island. She has no idea either where she is or where her parents and all the other cruise shippers are – she's lost.

This is how the PC version of Steve Ince's adventure game So Blonde starts. Back then, Sunny faced that beautiful Caribbean scenery – now, in So Blonde for Wii™ and Nintendo DS™, this has changed: The island appears dark, no one is to see at the shores and strange black sand crunches underneath Sunny's feet. Rugged rocks border the beaches – Sunny has to make up something to get to the inner island. What was that up there on the cliff? Wasn't there a man? If so, why does he ignore Sunny's cry for help? Sunny will face a new adventure…

dtp entertainment and Wizarbox have announced the adventure game So Blonde for Wii and Nintendo DS which is a completely new adventure game, based on the beautiful heroine of the already-released PC versions. This time, the game's story, again written by adventure gaming legend Steve Ince, makes Sunny explore the dark side of the Forgotten Island, where she stranded.

Some of the incidents happening on the island are the same as in the PC version – but this time, Steve Ince drives the story into a completely new direction. Other islanders are coming to the fore and are taking over the lead roles in So Blonde for Wii and Nintendo DS.

Both version's controls have been adapted to fit Wii Remote, Nunchuk and Nintendo DS-Touchpen easily. So, point & click control feels as it's meant to be. Also the party mini games included in So Blonde benefit from Nintendo's intuitive control systems. dtp entertainment is going to release So Blonde for Wii and Nintendo DS in 2009.

I cry whenever Europe gets an adventure game (Where's my Tunguska for Wii?) and North America doesn't.
