amishler Posted April 20, 2005 I just saw on eToychest that Namco has acquired the rights to make games based on the Peanuts license. The partnership allows Namco to create and publish games featuring Peanuts characters and properties, including for all current and upcoming game platforms through 2009.“Peanuts is one of the most celebrated comic strips of all time, and Charlie Brown and his friends have firmly cemented their place as American icons of the highest order,” said Jeff Lujan, Business Director at Namco Hometek. “We relish this opportunity to continue these beloved characters’ storylines through the medium of games and are honored to introduce this cherished property to an all-new generation of gamers.” “Namco has proven its ability to translate franchises to the video game format with respect and care,” said Jean Sagendorph, Licensing Manager at United Media. “Working with such a capable partner will allow us the opportunity to grow the Peanuts property in this popular category, as well as reach new audiences.” I'm skeptical, but maybe it could work.Pros: Sopwith Camel dog(house)fights, football kicking/pulling mini-game. Cons: Prince of Peanuts 2: Charlie Brown Smolders With Generic Rage. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
