THQ announces uDraw Game Tablet for Wii

by Justin McElroy on Aug 17th 2010 11:30AM

How's this for heady irony? The "Games Aren't Art" faction takes a mighty blow today, and it comes at the hands of the publisher that brought us ... 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. THQ has revealed "uDraw," a four-by-six inch tablet peripheral for the Wii that makes drawing as natural an input into the system as punching and pointing.

It launches this holiday season in the states for $70, bundled with uDraw Studio, an "expansive drawing, coloring and art-based video game." A couple of other titles, Pictionary and Dood's Big Adventure will arrive on the same day for the appealing price of $30 with more on the way. Wiicasos in international territories can look for the pad in early 2011.

Oh lord...

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power

Even he won't be able to save you...

So this means Nintendo will be making a Mario Paint 2?

@Faceless Troll We can only hope...

@Faceless Troll

If it has a music synthesizer, I will be happy.

Better question .... will they be making a magic pengel/Graffiti kingdom game for the Wii?

@LaughingTarget

It has purple unicorns! That's enough game for my $70, amirite

So it's kind of like a Wacom tablet, only crappier.

@Sally

The second one. It's very early, I'm tired.

wow another Wii peripheral. Shocking! I wonder how much $$$ this one will be..

@whylekat
really?

@whylekat $70. I know I'm bad at it too sometimes, but READ before commenting.

@whylekat

Whoops srry. Meant how much $$$ will this be raking in.

If someone buys this, I will personally rip their face off.
For that $70 you could buy a hella nice Wacom Bamboo tablet and do REAL digital drawing on a REAL computer. https://direct.wacom.com/stores/5/BAMBOO%20PEN_P1529.cfm

The Wii peripheral dump grows ever bigger.

@ZaxCG2

What he said times infinity.... and beyond!

make it at least 6 inch by 9 and it would be nice

@gevenstaines

That's what she said.

Well looks like you don't have to worry because art is now game(s)

Of course by the rigid standards of art, nothing is art..... not even art....

It's the return of Mario Paint, except now we get to worry about children stabbing themselves or others in the eye with a stylus pen nub. :D

@Orzene
cuz you cant do that with ds styli

Why would Nintendo release a game on a 3rd party peripheral? Guys, make sense.

Very interesting peripheral.

Please just give me Mario Paint!

@omnomnomnom

I'm holding out for Calligraphy Hero.

Maybe ds type games? I know it's got an onscreen cursor already but this would be faster and more precise on games like Trauma Center for example.

Has potential, but it's definitely going to be hit or miss, but probably the latter

I'm sure my kids would love it.

WTF...?

Sounds cool, but I already have a wacom tablet (pen and touch) and I have my DSi. I don't need another touchy thing in my life. (Well, an iPod touch would be nice... and and a HP Touchsmart computer... buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, let's just pretend I didn't say that.)

i had a vtech drawing tablet that u connected into the tv when i was younger and LOVED it. always was an artist lol. i'm sure this is great for kids who likes art but...if u can get something cheaper than this (which stores seem to have since i have read these comments) why buy this?

it does look nice and clean tho lol.
