Majesco Entertainment will be distributing kid-friendly Scholastic Interactive titles in North and South America, the companies said Monday.

Cooking Mama publisher Majesco will be distributing Scholastic's Goosebumps HorrorLand for Wii, PS2 and DS, Ultimate I Spy for Wii (pictured) in October, as well as catalog titles I Spy Fun House and Animal Genius for DS.

The products fall in line with Majesco's mass market games strategy. The publisher struck a hit with the accessible Cooking Mama franchise, which appears on DS and Wii. The series has sold over 1.6 million units, a mark that Cooking Mama passed in January.

Scholastic Interactive SVP Alan Waldman said in a statement, "Majesco's success in mass market and family-oriented video games coupled with their strong retail distribution relationships strongly support Scholastic Interactive's goal of broadening our consumer reach with the expansion of our gaming business."

Never played Phantom Dust. Its a shame I'm sure. It is BC with the 360 though...still need to play Psychonauts, too. May pick up the XBOX originals version on my 360.

I feel for Majesco. First they published the well reviewed but underselling Pyschonauts when MS dropped the publishing duties for it, then they release Advent Rising (I loved the game, I think people were too hard on it) which tanked and really put them in the hole. I'm glad to see them getting some strong sales in there and hopefully as they mentioned a while back that after they focus on mainstream type games and after they have built up a better business they'd look at releasing blockbuster type games again. I'm routing for them.

Don't forget the under-appreciated Phantom Dust. Still have my copy.
