Phineas and Ferb to visit the 2nd Dimension on Wii, PS3, DS

by Richard Mitchell on Apr 5th 2011 12:00AM

A new Phineas and Ferb game is headed to the Wii, PS3 and DS later this summer courtesy of Disney Interactive Studios. Based on the Disney cartoon -- specifically an upcoming original movie -- Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension will feature the TV voice talent of the principal characters, including Phineas and Ferb.

The PS3 and Wii versions include ten playable characters and two-player cooperative play. The PS3 version also features PlayStation Move compatibility. All versions of the game also include a secret agent platypus, making this probably the coolest sentence we've ever written.

Really?.... Really?....

@Prboi

Yes, really. While I was initially shocked, my mind started moving. The dust cleared, and about twenty minutes later... Easy Platinum. Taa-daa!

Sweet!

@Mrblonde57

Phineas and Ferb is such an awesome show! Just watch it

@Mrblonde57

Yup. This just might be the best show on television right now.

@Mrblonde57 I've only seen a bit of it once but it was really entertaining.

No, I'm 'beyond gay.' This is just something that you assign little to no worth.

I might be wrong, but isn't this one of the first games (if not the first one) that have Wii/PS3 exclusivity due to their similar motion control solutions?

The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest was in the same boat.

@Epoque As was Rune Factory Oceans in Japan.

Day one purchase.

This show is awesome! It's enjoyable for both children and adults...hopefully the game is good though

@ForeverAndEver
Sorry but a video game cannot possibly be homo-sexual.

Nice!

Now get to work on a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic game!

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Confound these ponies!

GOTY contender? I think so!

Will this game have 3D functionality on PS3?

Meh...still waiting for my Ed, Edd n' Eddy Playstation Move game...

*Salty*

@TheRepublic
I'm still waiting for my Darkwing Duck game with move

@Special Agent Bob How about Duck Tales with Move?

hmm, that would be cool if they released toy story mania for the ps3 now :D

The show seems to be quite good. My nice and nephew were over for a bit a little while ago and started watching this show, and I was quickly enamored. It's got a lot going for it, that's for sure.

Those kids have a Wii, so this would make a nice "here ya go, from the fun Uncle" present.

Perry is too easy to find on the cover D:

@Snappyguy

"Curse you, Perry the Pla...hey, is that a giant ray gun?"

@Epoque

Really have to tip my hat to one of the finest comments I've seen on here in ages. *golfclap

I came all the way down to this here comments section to ask, who was this article directed at? Apparently, everyone but me. I have no unconditional love for this show, and I didn't know anyone else over 20 did either. Is the Joystiq reader audience populated solely by 13-year-olds?

@ch3burashka

I'm 34 and I think Phineas and Ferb is awesome. I watch it with my 6 year old all the time, and I'm pretty sure I enjoy it more than she does. It's a show that you have to either be A) a child or B) intelligent to enjoy.

In an age of bad cartoons, it seems like this, Ben 10, and Johnny Test are the only ones worth watching. Glad to see this is getting a video game, ESPECIALLY featuring an armed platypus.

@Arrowsmith

It's a day-one buy if it comes with an unlockable Doofenshmirtz!

@Arrowsmith Woah jonnhy test a good cartoon

@ForeverAndEver

If you are "beyond gay", aren't you back to heterosexual?

@bloodlinejake exactly, yet I can't help thinking that those who use that term tend to be uncomfortable with themselves..gee, I wonder why?

My niece and nephew have had me sit through this show with them...and it's pretty good. I was amazed at how quick and witty it actually was. I lucked out, because I would have hated to sit with these kids ten years ago and have to sit through the watered-down Japanese anime dreck that was trending in the early 00's.

and with this game Doofensmirks will RULE THE TRISTATE AREA!

I hate to be the one to say this, seeing as I absolutely love Phineas and Ferb (I have a Perry the platypus alarm clock, and it's the best $30 I've ever spent), but why is this being posted here? This isn't the first Phineas and Ferb game to be made, so why is this one in particular being highlighted?

I mean, don't get me wrong here, if the game turns out to be awesome (which is what I'm very much hoping for), I wouldn't think twice about dropping my beloved cash on it, but it seems just like any other Disney movie-based game to me.

@themadswagger

Nobody wants to go there.

What a depressing blatant advertisement! What are you Disney's PR Team!

@The Duke of Nukem

Ummm, it's an article about a new video game that will be coming out, and this is [looks around carefully] a video game blog.

Love the show and was hoping that the last sentence in the article meant that it came with a stuffed doll version of Perry the Platypus. :(

Read the description in the press release and it kind of sounds like Ratchet & Clank in a sense, but I doubt that it'll be any good.

So they cancel Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned for this?

....Okay?

I don't like this show based on its own merits. Thwe writing is repetitive and frankly not that funny. They should make an Adventure Time game instead.

@(Unverified) While I agree that the world is not yet complete without an Adventure Time game, I disagree wholeheartedly with your opinions about Phineas and Ferb. I think it's the right kind of show for the right kind of people, and that it is a very clever throwback to the mischievous yet well-meaning protagonists of older cartoons. Also, the music is too awesome for words.

...It's on PS3. You know, I thought Sony and Microsoft were pretty strict about quality control this generation, which was why we've seen fewer licensed crappers on 360 and PS3 and Nintendo's more lax policies are why they've all migrated to Wii.

One slipped through. DAMN YOU! *Shakes fist*

GO FORTH, might Platypus!

Holy crap! Thus is a video game blog? No wonder I'm having a hard time finding decoration tips.

There's 104 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe...

Playing this game!

I'm seriously bummed there won't be a 360 version, this would e perfect for my family and it sucks that a family game excludes a major platform.

My son will be thrilled!

Oh and those bashing Phineas and Ferb need to watch the show. its actually pretty good and there is absolutely nothing bad in the cartoon for children, which is a rarity these days.

First off, Huge fan of the show, convinced coworkers to watch it and has been some of our "watercooler" discusions. Second off, has anyone else noticed the "only for playstation" moniker on box cover. I was hoping this was the real one, but it must be one joystiq made up.
