Voice casting for the ponies is already underway and most surprisingly the toymaker Hasbro hasn't sued them to smithereens.Īs for those who say the true spirit of Ponydom is hugs and kisses, not roundhouse kicks, the game developers have this bit of pony wisdom in their FAQ.
The developers say they're doing it for the love, not money, in true pony fashion. Meanwhile work on the My Little Pony Fighting is Magic game continues. It's so cute your teeth will hurt just watching it, but it's that combination of smarts, sass and pop culture references ( Doctor Whooves?) that have inspired a whole new generation of grown-up fans. MLPFIM has hit that pop culture sweet spot. Ponyland is packed with colourful characters, each with their own talents and of course their "Cutie Mark" - that' s the um, magic tattoo that appears on the ponie's patootie.
The new series is called My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The cartoon with the theme song that was etched into so many brains in the 1980s has been rebooted. Yup, it's just like that old button masher Street Fighter, except instead of burly he-men in headbands, the combatants are cuddly wuddly high-hoofin Ponies like Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and everyone's rootin' tootin' favourite Applejack.įor those of who don't have a five-year-old girl at home, let me fill you in on the second coming of My Little Pony.
My Little Pony, the hippest kid's cartoon this side of Candyland has a side-scrolling fighting game in the works.
