Poptropica for the Nintendo DS

Slanted Fish

For those who have an NDS, you’ll be thrilled to know that Poptropica and Ubisoft are currently partnering to create a Poptropican experience for the Nintendo DS, and the release date is this year’s 2012 holiday season!

Credit goes to a PHB comment from toughraptor which brought us to a news article from PRWeb.

“Through our exciting new partnership with Ubisoft, kids will now have another way to explore Poptropica’s story-based adventures and solve its challenging quests,” said Jess M. Brallier, publisher of Poptropica. “This is yet another milestone in the explosive growth of Poptropica as a global brand.”

Ubisoft is equally excited to bring Poptropica’s awesome storytelling from where it began its success online to handheld devices.

Sounds like a winner! Will you be getting the DS game this Christmas?

Wimpy Boardwalk Island

Thunder wonders

Slanted Fish

Do you have what it takes to make it to the “Thunder Volt” high scores list with Greg Heffley, Is An Idiot (uhhh…), Sonic, Chris, Billy, and the rest?

We don’t even know what Thunder Volt is yet, but we’re asking anyway. Maybe it’s an arcade game on Wimpy Boardwalk. Maybe it’s the name of one of Super Thunder’s evil plans (just kidding). What do you think?

Wimpy Boardwalk Island

It’s Always a Good Time!

Are you done with Poptropolis Games waiting for the new island to come? Here’s a video to quell your anticipations! It’s the trailer for Wimpy Boardwalk!

In the trailer, you can see that Greg says that the game Himalayan Hurl is rigged and see his money fly away. You also can see the array of many games lining the boardwalk. 😀

Members can also now get their Wimpy Boardwalk gear pack in the store, consisting of the Beachgoer costume, Beach Umbrella, and the Heat Wave Power!

~~~

Speaking of the Heat Wave Power…

Since its release, Poptropicans everywhere have been sweating profusely!

Whew! I don’t know how it is where you are, but it’s incredibly hot outside of Poptropica HQ!

It might be our fault. Just yesterday we released the new Member-exclusive items for Wimpy Boardwalk in the Poptropica store, which included the sizzling Heat Wave power. Today, bam! Sweltering weather outside.

We hope you’re staying cool on the first full day of summer, unless you live in the southern hemisphere, in which case we hope you’re staying warm on the first full day of winter. Either way, we’ll have some hot news about Wimpy Boardwalk for you very soon!

And so it’s summer. If you’re looking for a great song to dance/get addicted to, try this song. And remember:

What a wimpy winning

Well, we were going to show you a new Wimpy Boardwalk update… but it looks like it’s out of order.

All those lovely stuffed toys you see in the background, but the claw picks up this?

Bored this summer because Wimpy Boardwalk isn’t here yet? *rolls in the advertisements*

As you may or may not have noticed, I changed my screen name from Hijuyo to Slanted Fish. My Chinese name can also be translated to mean slanted (wan) fish (yu) by using different tones. I felt that it suited me more and I do like it better. As far as nicknames go, I guess you can use Slant, Fishy (to differentiate from other Poptropican “Fish”s), or stick with Hiyo/Juyo until you’re used to the new name. :3

Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

Whose side are you on?

Green Boa

Hey peeps.

Now that Poptropolis games has come out you may notice something new on the friends profile pages.

Random person: *puts hand up*

GB: Yes?

Random Person: Non-members with the Poptropolis medallion!

GB: *imitates buzzer* EEEEH! Wrong!

Other Random Person: Poptropolis island photos?

GB: *buzzer noise* EEEEH! Wrong again!

Another Random Person: Well what is it then?

GB: I’ll let Captain Crawfish’s Poptropica Friends profile show you.

The Flying Squid? I thought that he would fit into the Black Flags like a glove?
Yes, now everyone can see what tribe you’re on! Or which one you want to be on! I like Poptropolis games. In my opinion it’s the best one we’ve had since Mystery Train. Call me a harsh critic but Ghost Story, SOS, Vampire’s Curse and Twisted Thicket aren’t really very good islands. But I give Poptropolis games an 8/10 as an enjoyable and colourful island. Feel free to disagree with me, though. 😐
