After the popularity of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure on Wii and 3DS, it seems that turning toy figurine franchises into video games could become a bit of a trend. Just announced is Gogo's Crazy Bones for DS, due to arrive in North America in March.

What? These things you get free everytime you spend €10,- at a supermarket have a video game now?
You guys get them free!? Lucky!
I grew out of DS games... I'm too used to 3DS games now.
I too used to collect the first few "sets" (if you can call them that) of Crazy Bones. I doubt the game will be any good, honestly, but it's kinda neat to see the franchise was revived.
@10 Nope. DS still gets DSiWare and a NobunagaXPokemon game coming.
Of course it's only confirmed for North America. The only things that are at first only confirmed for Japan are the things that are actually worth something.
Weren't most of the Skylanders figurines just developed for the game and didn't exist before ?
Packshot doesn't look too good for this game, but maybe they can pull off a decent surprise. Who knows.
I will, with outmost respect, pass on this.
ah i used to collct these and play with them with a boy at the park when my little brother was at soccer. after spending over 30$ on these peices of junk i stopped collecting them because the soccer season ended and i couldnt play with that kid anymore. $30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i couldof bought so many retro games!
there not as good as "bouncin boneheads" who remembers those?
Man, that takes me back to 1999.
Why are people constantly still making 3DS games!?
