I SPY Castle
The folks at Scholastic Media have a great property on their hands in the I SPY family of games. Whether it is for the DS, Wii or even old-fashioned books, kids and adults can come together quickly for a fun game of finding the hidden objects. Late last year we reviewed (and thought highly) of I SPY Spooky Mansion for the Wii and naturally figured that a new DS title would be in the works.
Well, we didn’t have to wait long, as today Scholastic announced that the third I SPY for Nintendo DS is coming, entitled I SPY Castle.
The game will feature 12 scenes within a castle setting that sport 36 I SPY riddles and 12 mini-games. It will also mark the first game release during the 20th Anniversary of the I SPY brand. Check out the cover below, but you will have to wait a bit as I SPY Castle will retail for $19.99 and be available later this Fall.
