Disney Interactive Studios has today announced that Bolt, the videogame based on its upcoming CGI animation, will be heading to the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS this November.

Players take on the role of TV star dog, Bolt, and his owner Penny, within their own television show as they travel across the world. In the film, Bolt discovers that his superpowers (laser vision, devastating bark) don’t work in the real world, but that would make for a pretty boring videogame, so we can see why Disney has opted to make the experience more fantasy-based. Penny, meanwhile, is a stealthy character with impressive computer hacking skills and a mean rider of a scooter, which she uses to outwit enemies.

“Bolt uses the film as a springboard, expanding upon the action and dynamic story elements, to provide a fun, challenging experience for gamers,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “With Bolt, Avalanche Software looks to further its reputation as a premier developer of compelling animated games for a broad audience.”

The Nintendo DS version of the game will include competitive and co-op multiplayer, mini games as well as DGamer, Disney Interactive Studios’ new technology that provides a connected game community for Disney video game fans. With DGamer, players can earn content, interact and chat with others on Nintendo DS through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or on a computer through the Disney.com website.
