THQ brings drawing tablet to Wii



While it's not Mario Paint, it is something. Publisher THQ is launching a new tablet for the Wii console that will let users draw, while their creations simultaneously appear on their TVs. Bundled with the game uDraw Studio, players insert and attach the Wii Remote into the left side of the device. Other supported software titles set to release include Pictionary and Dood's Big Adventure.

Unfortunately, THQ claims their tablet is geared towards 6-12 year olds, meaning I'm just shy of the demographic. Still, it's amazing to me that no one has really released a true drawing simulator, including Nintendo, whether on a tablet or not. In fact, a painting game featuring afro-wearing Bob Ross was supposed to be a Wii launch title, until it was shelved.

The game and tablet will arrive for $70.
