Build-A-Bear Workshop: A Friend Fur All Seasons is coming to Wii

Like a party game, up to four players can participate by personalizing their own furry friend, playing the mini games for medals, experiencing adventure mode, and using the medals to ‘purchase’ more outfits and accessories. Players can use the revolutionary Wii remote to hop their way through a sack race using the motion control function, and use the pointer function to throw flying discs or jump on a trampoline using the Wii Remote buttons. In the end, all players attend the party hosted by Bearemy and Pawlette Coufur, huggable Build-A-Bear Workshop mascots.

Wow, I mean you think they would’ve saved this for E3 or something, but no! IGN has the full scoop here.

    Just think… now you can put in all of the effort of personalizing your own Build-a-Bear, without ever actually having to go through the inconvenience of physically having it!

    What a wondrous time we live in.

    Actually this will be a must have for us. My daughter LOVES her build-a-bear, so this will be a no-brainer for us (unless the game really blows chunks, but even then she will probably still want it).
    I couldn’t see getting this Instead of a real bear, but if you already have the bear (and tons of accessories), than I think this makes a great gift.

    Yeah my daughter is going to be all over this game when it comes out as well.

    This will be a great addition to the Wii library until someone uses it to mastermind a playground coup for the ages. Then the media will be all over it. It will be, wait for it, unbearable.
