Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released the first set of screenshots from the upcoming Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS game, Tom and Jerry Tales. Set for release this fall by Eidos Ent, the title aims to bring classic cartoon fun to handhelds while tying into the new cartoon series debuting this fall on The CW.
Developed by Sensory Sweep Studios, Tom and Jerry Tales continues the game of cat-and-mouse as players take on the role of Jerry and try to outwit hapless housecat Tom. In his quest to recover the cheese Tome stole and return safely to the mouse hole, Jerry must avoid booby traps and out-maneuver his long-time mortal enemy. The GBA version will include various mini-games and the DS version will integrate touch-screen activated events that require players to use quick reflexes to avoid danger.
Hanna-Barbera’s Tom and Jerry first appeared on CBS in 1940 and kept up their adversarial relationship in various series through the 1980s. After an absence of more than 13 years, the duo is coming back with Tom and Jerry Tales, a new series set to air on The CW’s Kids’ WB! block. Exec produced by Joseph Barbera and Sander Schwartz, the new show promises a return to basics with plenty of wild chases, slapstick gags and over-the-top mayhem. The episodes are being produced by animator Frank Molieri (Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas, Cock-a-Doodle Duel) and writer/producer Tom Minton (Duck Dodgers, Dave the Barbarian).
