Paddington and Garfield to Star on Nintendo 3DS in August

Iconic children’s characters Paddington and Garfield arrive this summer on the Nintendo 3DS as French publisher Anuman Interactive and Ravenscourt announced the development of both titles today. The games will be published under the label Kids’ Mania and will be available for $29.99.

In the first of the two games, Paddington Bear arrives in London and tasks players with helping Paddington and the Brown family solve a series of mysteries in order to find explorer Montgomery Hyde. Along the way he interacts with Londoners, works with the police to catch thieves, solves puzzles given by his Aunt Lucy and satisfies his love of marmalade and sandwiches.

In the second of the two titles, the world’s most famous cat, Garfield, hops in the drivers seat alongside well-known characters from the Garfield Show in the racing game Garfield Kart. Supporting up to four players via local multiplayer gameplay, you can race with friends in one of 16 different tracks from Garfield’s world. The game also features single-player racing with four modes – Quick Race, Championship, Time Trial and Daily Challenge.
