I think you can pin a lot of the blame on the gradual downward trending of the Wii, but THQ’s uDraw Game Tablet doesn’t seem to have ever gotten the traction and attention it deserved. It might be getting too late in the game, but I have to think that games like this fall’s Disney Princess: Enchanting Storybooks are the kinds of titles that the uDraw needs to succeed. (It will also be out on the DS as well.)

In Disney Princess: Enchanted Storybooks, which THQ is bringing out this November, gamers have to help Opal the fairy colour the magical kingdoms and her magical spells accidentally drained all of the colour from the world. Travelling between the worlds of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderlla, Aladdin, Princess and the Frog and Tangled, players will restore colour to the world with a variety of stylus-based activities, including number-painting stages, tilt-painting stages and colouring book pages that narrate the stories. Six unlockable tools, such as Belle’s Rose Petal crayon will add to the excitement, which a handful of additional minigames compliment the experience.

“The Disney Princess characters are favorites of little girls everywhere, and our goal has been to make a game for them that takes advantage of the special capabilities of the uDraw GameTablet,” said Martin Good, executive vice president of PlayTHQ, the company’s division for kids, family and casual games. “Whether they venture under the sea or into the bayou, we’re excited that the uDraw will allow generations of fans to experience these classic Disney princesses.”

Disney Princess: Enchanting Storybooks also features six unlockable magical tools that add to players’ creativity through the game, including Belle’s Rose Petal Crayon and Rapunzel’s Watercolor Brush. Throughout the experience, players will be challenged by “tilt-a-maze” games along with additional musical features that include follow-the-rhythm, magic search and spot-the-difference games.
