Posted by Yehuda Berlinger as Electronic Games, Modern Board Games
Hasbro sold the rights to electronic versions of its board games to Electronic Arts last year. This was one reason that people suspected was behind Hasbro’s moves to take down Scrabulous, the Scrabble knock-off on Facebook.
EA just announced some of the first licensed games now in development. These include Littlest Pet Shop and Nerf ‘n’ Strike for the Nintendo Wii. Other games include Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Risk, Yahtzee, Scrabble, Operation, and Pictureka.
For details, read the press release.
