Nickelodeon Party Blast announced

Infogrames has announced Nickelodeon Party Blast, its upcoming party game featuring eight popular characters from the Nickelodeon children's entertainment network. Players will assume the role of one of the characters and compete against up to three other players in a number of different game modes.

The game will feature a number of popular characters--Invader Zim; Jimmy Neutron; SpongeBob SquarePants; Otto and Reggie Rocket from Rocket Power; Angelica and Tommy from Rugrats; and Eliza from The Wild Thornberrys--and players will compete against one another in party games like a slam-dunk contest on inline skates, a race through colorful Nickelodeon environments, and an all-out food fight.

"Nothing speaks to kids like Nickelodeon does. Combine their favorite Nicktoons characters with everything kids love--racing, food fights, and crazy Nick-style games--and you've got Nickelodeon Party Blast," said Petrina McPhee, director of marketing for Infogrames' children's line. "We think this game will be a hit with Nick fans and young gamers alike."

Nickelodeon Party Blast is in development at Data Design and is scheduled for release on the PC, Nintendo GameCube, and Microsoft Xbox this fall.
