If you’re a visitor to Tv Tropes, you’ll know as well as we do that Everything Is Better With Princesses. Fairy tales know this, and it wasn’t long prior to Disney latched onto the thought. Subsequent thing you know, we’ve got princesses out the wazoo, strutting about like they own the location.

And they’re princesses, so technically they do personal the location. If ‘the place’ in question occurs to be a magical kingdom, of course.

Nonetheless, it appears the 3DS and Nintendo Wii will be next to feel the exquisitely manicured touch of royalty.

Ugh, one glass slipper and she’s all “Wooo, appear at meeee…”

Market Watch have been, nicely, watching markets. And it transpires there’s some Disney goodness on the way to our handhelds (and wifty-wafty motion-controlly home consoles as well). Also the Pc/Mac, if you’re wondering.

Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure is developed by Disney Interactive and is scheduled to release this autumn. Starring Rapunzel, Cinderella, Ariel, Tiana and Belle (no Jasmine? Boo!), the game is about…

Hmm. See if you can guess, in fact, from the following scenarios:

1. A post-apocalyptic RPG in which princesses are forced to search the ravaged remains of their kingdoms for food whilst staving off attacks by mutants.
2. A collection of minigames, puzzles, platforming and hide-and-seek gameplay in which the player need to rescue the world of every single princess by converting cheeky Imps back into content magical Sprites.
3. A gory first-person shooter with co-op gameplay, in which Disney princesses stave off a zombie apocalypse.

If you guessed the second option, congratulations! You’re proper!

Players will also get an ‘avatar’ to dress up and a room in their personal castle to decorate, unlocking goodies utilizing the Wishing Nicely ingame store. Places to check out will include the Beast’s castle, Cinderella’s ball and Rapunzel’s tower. In every location, Imps are to be found and turned back to Sprites, thus ensuring that Happily Ever Immediately after remains just that. Hurrah!

Still believe Jasmine should’ve been in it though. Poor Jasmine.
