Electronic Arts announced today that EA Playground - an all-new intellectual property in development at EA Canada - is now in development for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Scheduled for release this fall, EA Playground captures the nostalgia of a neighborhood playground, turning your gaming space into an arena of interactive fun with activities designed for kids of all ages.

EA Playground features games that are easy to pick-up-and-play by fully capitalizing on the control mechanics of both the Wii and the Nintendo DS. Swing the Wii remote to excel in tetherball, blow into the Nintendo DS mic to fire spitballs or battle your friends and family in dodgeball. Every game brings its own twist to the controls for the ultimate, all-ages, party game.
