Pippi Longstocking Is Headed To The Nintendo DS

None

In an announcement that’s guaranteed to be exciting for most Swedish grandmothers, PAN Vision revealed today that they have signed a deal to bring a Pippi Longstocking title to the Nintendo DS in 2012. Yes you read that correctly. PAN is working on creating a new game about an ancient character for an outdated system.

Here’s PANs plan for the project:

Pippi Longstocking for Nintendo DS is set to be an adventure game filled with activities, features, and mini games for children in the ages of 4 to 10 years old. It will give players a true Pippi experience with all of the characters and environments made famous by the books and movies. The end result being a high quality product that will help bring the stories of Astrid Lindgren to a new generation of children.

Wait, this game will be filled with activities? Well, I’m sold.



PAN is teaming up with Ravn Studios, the Norwegian studio behind Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, Knerten Gets Married, and Blåfjell. And if those super famous titles don’t get you excited, nothing will.

“We only cooperate with serious companies that we feel confident with and we are sure Pippi is in good hands with Ravn” says Malin Billing at Saltkråkan, the company who holds the rights for Pippi.

Start saving your nickels. Now you and your grandmother will have something to talk about.
