D3Publisher has announced details on its upcoming batch of Despicable Me games, coming to Wii, DS, PS2 and PSP this July. Coinciding with the animated film's debut and mirroring its premise of a supervillain (voiced by Steve Carell) plotting to steal the moon, Despicable Me: The Game lets you "experience the thrill of being downright despicable" and purchasing a licensed movie game.
You'll assume the role of supervillain Gru, who must use various gadgets, weapons and an army of minions to solve puzzles, pull off "the biggest heist in history" and best his rival, Vector. (Presumably, the game is over when Vector has been beaten by, uh, Gru.)
Despicable Me: The Game will launch on the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable -- courtesy of Monkey Bar Games -- while a separate title, Despicable Me: The Game - Minion Mayhem is being cooked up (Fillet Minion joke goes here) just for DS by the increasingly visible WayForward.

If they don't I am not buying a PS3 then. I want to be able to still play Beatmania.

I think that they stopped production on those. I picked up a 60 gig PS3 for its backwards compatibility.

Seriously? I thought this was a joke. My excitement for PS3 just dropped so much. Please inform me of what I should look for so I can get a backward compatible capable PS3.

Wow. Wii and PS2 but not PS3 or Xbox 360?
Guess they recognize the core market for rush-to-cash-in movie games.

The movie looks...interesting, and fresh after having see the trailers.
"(Fillet Minion joke goes here)" Did you create that one Ludwig? If so, then you are a true master of many things.

WayForward on the DS version? Raised from "no interest" to "possible interest."

Note the Portal-like exit sign above. Perhaps Chelle is a super-secret playable character?

When I saw the sign and some of the art style I was reminded of Evil Genius.
