Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment launches the new preschool-targeted video game Sesame Street: Ready, Set, Grover! for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Developed by Griptonite Games, The game encourages preschoolers to develop healthy habits as they play along with Sesame Street characters. In Sesame Street: Ready, Set, Grover!, accessibility for preschoolers is enhanced with Grover-themed game-play helpers, available for both systems. On Wii, the game-play helper is a furry character cover with special grips that slips over the Wii remote in order to cover unnecessary buttons and make it easier for little hands to hold. For Nintendo DS, there is a jumbo click stylus designed for smaller hands, which is designed to simplify interaction with the touch screen.
Disney Interactive Studios releases the new game Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension for Wii, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation 3.

The Nintendo DS version of the game lets fans play as Phineas, Ferb or Agent P as they travel through five worlds and 30 levels. The Wii and PlayStation 3 versions are rated E 10+, with the Nintendo DS version rated E for Everyone.
