Development
[edit]In August 2007, Electronic Arts gained the rights to some Hasbro brands, like Monopoly, Littlest Pet Shop, and Nerf. In February, EA Casual Entertainment announced that their EA Salt Lake Studio would develop and release Littlest Pet Shop and Nerf N-Strike.[2] In Fall 2008, the Littlest Pet Shop video game was released for Wii, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo DS. For Nintendo DS, the game was initially released in three versions: Jungle, Garden and Winter, and fanciest including the Persian cat[3] each with different pets. A fourth DS version, Spring, was released in March 2009.[4] The Wii version has all the pets from the DS versions (excluding the Spring edition). The PC version is the same as the Wii except it is missing the regular minigames. The DS versions contained 20 pets and featured over 150 accessories for them.[5]
