Pet Zombies in 3D is a real game Majesco is releasing for 3DS
23
Majesco has revealed the identity of its first two potential hits on the 3DS platform -- surprisingly, neither belong to the trusted, lucrative [Gerund] Mama franchise. The first is Renegade Kid's Face Kart: Photo Finish, which lets players create a highly customizable racer or race track using the 3DS's cameras. The game will also use the handheld's gyroscopic capabilities to let players steer by tilting the system left and right. Sounds fairly promising! We enjoy Karts, and, moreso, our own faces.
The second game is 1st Playable Productions' Pet Zombies in 3D, which sees players creating and caring for their own shambling, reanimated corpses. Their ghouls will participate in mini-games to earn currency to purchase certain customizations for their undead pets and their environments. We've got our fingers crossed that this title will represent the tipping point of oversaturation for the zombie craze, leading game developers, filmmakers and authors alike to realize that this, this is what their hands have wrought.
Do you hear us, Max Brooks? Pet Zombies in 3D is all on you, man.

I should be cynical of new Majesco games for a new handheld, but the idea of a pet zombie is so out there, amazing, and gloriously stupid that I can't not get behind it. Though if Majesco is hoping to court hardcore gamers with it, I don't think they've grasped the concept quite yet.

Should have linked to WWZ because its a million times better than his "survival guide"

I don't know about a million times better, but I agree, World War Z was a stellar book! Way better written than I was expecting!

I'm not liking the sound of tilt steering. This is the reason I don't buy games on my droidX. There's a joystick there for a reason.
Unrelated: Does anyone know if the joystick will work with super mario 64DS?

Nothing more cute than a half dead dog with its eyeball hanging out.

Rule #13: the addition of zombies or ninjas automatically serves to make a game better.

Sorry, but if they add augumented reality into that Zombie game so I could look after a hoard of the unliving on my coffee table. And everytime someone someone walked into the room and asked what i was doing I could say:
"I've gathered my undead hoard for todays morning meeting on my coffee table in order to discuss plans for world domination." Whilst im forced to fend the Zombies off my drink because otherwise they'll fall into my coffee and drown....
It could be the best Zombie game ever.

I dont know what you're talking about Joystiq. Zombie Petz is going to be the best virtual pet since Digimon

Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to this Zombie pets game?
I don't know if it will good or anything but I wouldn't mind seeing some normally cute and fluffy animals zombified into some gruesome beasts..and in 3D no less...
