Kid-friendly games are cool. Sure they’re sometimes based on freaky characters and difficult-to-comprehend concepts for adults but the kids sure love them. Well I’m sure The Magic Roundabout is one of those surreal kid’s educational shows though I’ve never seen it personally.

Deep Silver and Koch Media announced The Magic Roundabout for Nintendo DS, Wii and PC.

The world of the The Magic Roundabout is brought to life in a number of mini-games and bonus missions with lovingly designed graphics. The game makes creative use of the different platforms’ unique controls: for example, players control the flight of a paper plane by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS, or uncover hidden objects by "shaking" the mouse cursor on the PC, or the Wii Remote in the Wii version.

The Magic Roundabout will be released for Nintendo DS, Wii and PC in the fourth quarter of 2008.
