Star Wars, Marvel Going Plug N Play

JAKKS today announced five new Plug and Play gaming systems including ones based on the Star Wars and Marvel franchises.

I loved their work on the retro stuff, but I'm not such a fan of their "original content." Which often seems to be NES derivative crap.

Here's their full 2007 line-up:

Deal or No Deal TV Games challenges each player with the question - take the banker's offer or open another briefcase? The road to riches is fraught with difficult choices and exciting results in the latest JAKKS' TV Games offering. Deal or No Deal TV Games features authentic audio clips from Howie Mandel, the show's host!

Star Wars: Original Trilogy TV Games is the second controller in the Star Wars TV Games series. Star Wars fans will be transported back to the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi eras. Battle the Empire above the Moon of Endor and on the frozen world of Hoth with four brand new games spanning the worlds of Star Wars Episodes 5 and 6.

Marvel Heroes TV Games is action-packed with a team of Marvel superheroes on a new set of dangerous missions to keep their most lethal enemies from destroying the city and quite possibly, the world. Join Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine and the Ghost Rider in five games with all different adventures!

Sesame Street TV Games debuts one of the longest running children's shows on TV as one of the newest TV Games titles for preschoolers. Sesame Street(R) TV Games(TM) contain five new games all narrated by Elmo and featuring Big Bird, Grover, Zoe, Bert and Ernie. Sesame Street TV Games is the first-ever 'music and rhythm-based' TV Games title and features an adorable bongo drum shaped controller.

Go, Diego, Go! TV Games is based on one of the top-rated preschool shows on Nick Jr. It follows Dora the Explorer's cousin, Diego Marquez, on a challenging mission in 4 "wild" wildlife adventure games to rescue the Rainforest's precious animals, and at the same time teaches kids about wildlife and the importance of preserving endangered animals.
