Winter’s Tail Nintendo DS Game Giveaway

by Shannan on November 11, 2009

WintersTail_DSMy favorite time of the year is fast approaching! It’s almost the holidays and I’ve been given the opportunity to kick things off in a big way here!

Video games seem to be an item on nearly everyone’s list, especially handheld games. We’re a family of gamers, with even the little ones wanting to try their hand at playing with the big kids. However, finding games that are age-appropriate for younger children isn’t always easy, and finding games with an inspirational storyline – even harder!

Winter’s Tail is an interactive storybook, that includes mini-games and other fun features, soon to be released for the Nintendo DS. Based on the Scholastic book of the same name, this story features Winter, a young dolphin who lost her tail in a crab trap. The story shows how trainers helped her to overcome her injuries and learn to swim again. You can find out more about Winter at the Winter’s Tail website.

Here’s a little information about what the game has to offer:

Take an exciting journey on your Nintendo DS and learn about the real-life story of Winter, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin who overcame incredible odds. Including fun mini-games and a fully interactive storybook based on the Scholastic Book Winter’s Tail, read by the authors Juliana, Isabella and Craig Hatkoff. The release date is set for November 24th.Rated E for Everyone!

Check the trailer out here:

With a name like “Turtlepondering” the blog NEEDED to be checked out. We have a turtle lover in my household. Anything with turtle in the name is a must.
