The fun also gets turned up with all-new playsets as well as four new mini-games for a total of 20 including those from previous Nintendo DS versions. Accessory choices will also expand allowing pets to step into spring in high style. With the addition of 20 new accessories, girls will be able to select from well over 100 hats, glasses, scarves and other fun items. “The response to our LITTLEST PET SHOP video games has been overwhelmingly positive and shown that girls want quality games, too,” said Chip Lange, Vice President and General Manager of EA Hasbro. “The team has been barraged with fan mail and girls are already clamoring for the next version so they can keep expanding their LITTLEST PET SHOP digital collection.
