Development
In August 2007, Electronic Arts gained the rights to some Hasbro brands, like Monopoly, Littlest Pet Shop, and Nerf. In February, EA Casual Entertainment announced that their EA Salt Lake Studio would develop and release Littlest Pet Shop and Nerf N-Strike.[2] In Fall 2008, the Littlest Pet Shop video game was released for Wii, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo DS. For Nintendo DS, the game was initially released in three versions: Jungle, Garden and Winter, and fanciest including the Persian cat[3] each with different pets. A fourth DS version, Spring, was released in March 2009.[4] The Wii version has all the pets from the DS versions (excluding the Spring edition). The PC version is the same as the Wii except it is missing the regular minigames. The DS versions contained 20 pets and featured over 150 accessories for them.[5]
Littlest Pet Shop Friends, a second edition of the game, was released in October 2009 for Wii and Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS versions include: City Friends, Country Friends, and Beach Friends.[6]
A DSiWare edition of Littlest Pet Shop was released in North America on December 14, 2009, and in the PAL regions on December 18, 2009. The cost is 800 Nintendo points.[7] In late 2012, Gameloft released a Littlest Pet Shop game for iOS devices.
