Today The Game Factory, famed publishers of Care Bears: Care Quest and Franklin the Turtle: A Birthday Surprise, announced a partnership with Build-a-Bear Workshop to bring a game based on the animal creation station to the Nintendo DS. A staple of many a mall across the country, Build-a-Bear Workshops allow teddy bear enthusiasts to piece together unique stuffed animals right in the store.
The game will operate much like the store, allowing gamers to build, care for, and dress their own furry companions. There are also 20 mini-games to be unlocked and played with your bear.
Developed by Neko Entertainment (Franklin the Turtle), Build-a-Bear will utilize the DS touch screen, microphone, and Wi-Fi multiplayer.
