Disney Announces Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell For Holiday Season

Disney Interactive Studios, has announced Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell, a new Nintendo DS game based on the world of Peter Pan fairy Tinker Bell and featuring Disney's DGamer service, scheduled to ship in the 2008 holiday season following the DVD release of the the first Disney Fairies film

Set in the world of Pixie Hollow, players take on the role of Tinker Bell herself, choosing from hundreds of outfits and accessories to customize their fairy's appearance. In addition to providing quest and adventures for players to embark on, the game uses the DS's real-time clock to reflect the time of day and season in-game -- snow falls in the wintertime and fireflies come out at night.

As with the DS release of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell includes DGamer, an online community developed exclusively for Disney gamers and accessible through the Nintendo DS.

The DGamer service allows users to log into their DS and online accounts to create and customize a unique 3D avatar and persistent profile. Kids can chat, view user profiles of their DGamer friends, post high scores to leaderboards, and unlock exclusive content.
