Majesco Goes to School

Publisher to distribute Scholastic Interactive titles.

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."
