Does anyone know if there's any Winx Club video games scheduled to be released soon? I see they have some playsets at Toys'R'us already, I'm just wondering if they're planning on making some Video games sometime.
And by the way, i just want to add, those dolls dont look like the Winx girls. Sad images, im sure they could have done a better job on the dolls.

I havn't heard anything about video games. I doubt they'd do that.
I like the dolls, I think they're adorable, especially the Flora one.

Ba, I'm looking forward to playing some of them Winx Club games. Since Im a guy, I wont go near them dolls, but there's no gender rating (in my opinion) when it comes to video games, even IF they're planning a WinxClub game for girls to control. Yeah, i checked a few sites, there's a news article somewhere about a game underway purely for girls to control.. Dunno how that's possible.. (((O.O)))

If one were in the works, I'd definately grab it when it comes out. :) I'm a big Winx Club fan so a video game would be awesome. I've read on Italian and German sites that some future merchandise includes trading cards, apparel, more toys, and possibly a "silver screen" production! * crosses fingers * :)

Since Im a guy, I wont go near them dolls,I'm a guy. I get the dolls.
As for a video game, that worries me a little. Namely because most video games based on movies, cartoons, or other such things suck. I'd certainly hope that wouldn't be the case with a cartoon as special as Winx Club, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I have faith in Rainbow that they could make a pretty decent Winx video game, but I just can't see something like that going into production.

Ya, your right, usually games based off a cartoon show sux.
If they want to have the normal 'Adventure' mode that most cartoon based games have, that's fine. But the games that i enjoy the most are games with side menus for Multiplayer Mayhem. Games that dont get old after you beat it once then toss it aside with the rest of your games. Im talking about the games like Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Halo, 4 Sword Adventures, Sonic Adventure 2, etc. Those kinds of games.
Maybe for Winx Club, they should still have the single player mode, but for Multiplayer, maybe have like Fighting (Winx vs Witches - in either Tournament mode, or Skirmish mode.), Or races (Like in "Day of the Rose" episode, except this time the Girls can join in too and during the race use their unique powers to add to the fun, much like Darcy did.) Can't think of anything else, but im sure there's other stuff besides racing and Fighting. Its just storymode kind of sux when its just that.
If they did made a Winx Club video game, I somehow can't imagine it having a tournament or skirmish mode.:sweat:

Oh come now, you cant imagine it? They girls get into fights with the witches almost regularly, they could make some 1 on 1 battles between the girls, much like on Street Fighter, DBZ, Mortal Kombat, etc. Format. I mean goodness, each of the girls (and maybe the Red Fountain boys) already has some unique powers and abilities. So it would make for some nice fighting varieties. Personaly if they did add a Fighting section in the game (multiplayer), and if they DID add the Red Fountain boys as part of the chosable characters, I'd pick Prince Sky. I love his sword. Would pwn anyone.
And Professor Wizzit, Ms.Griselda, Mrs. Faragonda, Professor Cortadora, and Mr.Knutt could make for some good 'secret' -unlockable- characters. Characters that can be unlocked during story mode i guess.

Um... This is just spectations here.. like thoughts on what the game COULD be like. There isnt really a WinxClub game out yet, even though 1 is rumored to be in the works. So no one really knows what kind of format it will be, but a review did say that the character controls would be designed for a girl (whatever that means, i didnt really think controlling a character was gender-related).
I was just imagining what they 'could' put in the game and what would make it cool. Although Races and fights dont seem to be the kind of game that girls would enjoy... what KIND of stuff would girls enjoy in a game...
Uh oh... OH NO.. no no... Im starting to get an image:..
'Dress her up game' - Danger! Danger! The girls are about to go on a date, but they dont know what to wear! WHAT A CRISIS!! Chaos! Apocolypse approaches! Help the girls get ready for their dates by dressing them up!!
'Make-up-Mayhem' - Oh no! almost ready for the big date! But there's so much make-up! The girls need your help!!!
'Shop till you drop' - Uh oh! The annual shopping anniversery is coming up! The girls forgot how to shop! Help the girls by shopping for them! buy the most items within the time limit!! EEEEEEEEEK!!
...Oh man.. Disturbing... images... Somebody shoot me.

Wow...that's only slightly sexist. *cough* I'm not a video game fan, but I seriously cannot believe that the only games girls would buy would involve shopping and makeup. Please. I wouldn't have bought something like that even in my girliest of days. And this is a fantasy/action series, not just romance and "girl stuff."
Now what I'd like to see...
You're Bloom (she's the star after all). Your mission is to rescue wimpy Brandon who can't save his pansy self from the clutches of the Trix. You fly, fight and solve puzzles throughout various levels. You can find the other Winx girls hidden throughout the game and once you've found them, you can call upon them to help. Say if you had a logic puzzle to solve, you'd call on Tecna. Other characters like our red-haired good witch, the other Specialists, Ms. Faragonda and Professor Palladium are scattered around as well, but you can't call on them for help in the future. They only assist with single incidents. A major monster would be at the end of each section of levels. As you got closer to the end, you'd have to fight Stormy, then Darcy. Finally, you'd get into Cloud Tower and face off with Icy for Brandon's fate.
That I'd play.
And major kudos to the guys who buy the dolls! That's what I like to hear. Breaking those lame gender barriers. I love them myself and think they look quite a bit like the characters. Tecna and Icy especially rock.

Clichéd girly games? Yeah... that would guarantee that I never buy it! Darcy's idea could be either good or bad, depending on how it is executed, and how much effort they put into the game... here's hoping it's not of the "collect 258 randomly-scattered coins to get into the next room, where you must collect 259 coins" variety.
Timmy? Help? He knows how to do that? Never realized he could do anything.

Timmy will be the bait. :D

Ahahaha! cool. That sounds like a decent game to play. (No, it wasnt meant to be sexist, im not THAT evil, even the Evil Mailman has taste.)
That might be nice for storymode or something, but I dont think Brandon is that weak to get caught by the 'Evil Trio'. Ya, Use Timmy as the bait, and Bloom being the 'loyal' friend that she is, Will drop anything she's doing to rescue Timmy, even though he's Tecna's boyfriend. And Brandon will be there to assist too. Hm.. this game would be awesome if the game's battle engine was the same kind as Final Fantasy's. And run into random battles while solving puzzles. Maybe run into Knutt in 1 too many cases. He makes for an excellent 'TOUGH' boss battle, not like the usual boss battles.
Hm.. as for the other WinxGirls helping out on Puzzles, I guess they can give Bloom advice during a puzzle.
Logic puzzle problem? Call on Tecna for help? That sounds.. logical.. (no pun intended, scratch that. Yes, pun intended.)
Musa can help on Musical puzzles.
Flora can help on Plantlife puzzles (I can think of many puzzle possibilities for this one).
Only thing I think Stella could help on is Fashion disasters.
Oh, just thought of something else. Maybe there can be more then 1 storyline, much like on Sonic Adventure. When you can play as each character and following along on their story. All 5 Girls are on a level and they split up to do something so they all can get to the next area. And they're all in communication with each other using a communication device that Tecna might have whipped up within a few minutes? Anyway, there can be 5 different story modes, but each story takes place during the same time and all the storys can interact with each other.

I think that if a Winx Club game every comes out, it will most likely be Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS (if the game comes out after it does), or for the GameCube if it's going to be a 3-D game.

Most likely, Gamecube has a habit of hosting games that come from cartoons.
Personally, I wouldnt want it to be on any gameboy unless its gonna have a multiplayer option. Winx Club is an excellent show and deserves to be a 3D wonder. Now if they want to make another game for GBA after the 3D version, im down with that, just as long as they got a multiplayer option with it.

As for a GBA version I think that I would like that, I would read reviews on it, and if they are good, I would consider buying it.
