This is news so big that we could barely contain our excitement, though we’re mostly excited for Destructoid Editor-in-chiefNick Chester, as he seems to have a thing for thecute, animal-based games.
Ubisoft has just announced the acquisition of Japanese publisher Digital Kids, who is known for theirPetzseriesof games. These titles, includingDogz, Catz, Hamsterz, and my favorite,Horsez, were develped for Ubisoft by Digital Kids, and are available on the Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and PC.
“When it comes to Nintendo DSgames, Digital Kids has demonstrated a leading knowledge that has resulted in creative animal simulation titles that appeal to Japanese and Western audiences alike, which is quite rare,” remarked Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot.
Nick, we’re so happy for you![Note: I’m probably fired.]
