IGN Wii: What is EA Playground all about?
Dave McCarthy: EA Playground is all about capturing the sheer fun of being a kid. We've designed a dream playground full of interesting characters, cool collectables, and most importantly, a mix of easy to pick up and incredibly fun playground games. There are some classic favorites in there along with some new twists. It's all packaged together in a meaningful single player "campaign" to play your way through the schoolyard. In addition, there's also an approachable and fun multiplayer party experience that will appeal to all ages.

Kids are gamers too! Give them some games to enjoy plus, it expands the market and it's a good non-violent game, so parents will be more tempted to buy it for them!
So, it's good for the kids, parents digg it, andit makes more money for both EA and Ninty. Everyone is happy! ^_^
Just more evidence Nintendo will own the kid market far far beyond any way they have in the past. I'm not at all saying that to bash Nintendo, as both the Wii and DS will do better among adults than their predecessors did.
I'm actually reasonably impressed ...
It may be "Just another mini-game collection" but it also sounds like EA is trying to branch out and make more complicated mini-games then most other mini-game projects.
I guess this is going to show Hus what true kiddy games are. Or is the game going to have any adult value?
