505 Games, in collaboration with Paramount Digital Entertainment, will be overseeing and publishing a Grease video game on Nintendo DS and Wii.

This is a massive trip down memory lane for a lot of people, no doubt, and especially well-timed given the rise in casual gaming.  More than ever, we see gamers from more unusual demographics.  Looks like a possible buy for more casual gamers, or anyone looking for a family-friendly experience. 

“We are really excited about working with Paramount Digital Entertainment to turn this world famous film into a video game for the very first time. Working with such a well known and much loved brand is a great opportunity and we believe the collaboration further strengthens 505 Games’ entertainment portfolio,” commented Ian Howe, Managing Director at 505 Games.

In the game, players will be allowed to sing and dance alongside Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies, and T-Birds, using the DS's touch screen or the Wii's motion controls and mic.

“Paramount Digital Entertainment is pleased to be working with 505 Games to develop Grease,” said John Kavanagh, Senior VP of Video Games for Paramount Digital Entertainment. “Grease is the ideal opportunity to reach a broad gaming audience who love to sing, dance and have fun with a party-style game.”
