Disney's princesses for little princesses. Disney Interactive Studios just announced two new video games based on its well-known "Princesses" like Ariel, Cinderella, and Snow White. The new titles are Disney Princess: Magical Jewels for Nintendo DS and Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey for Wii, PlayStation 2 (PS2), and Games for Windows platforms.

In Magical Jewels, players are tasked to assume the role of a Disney princess and recover magical jewels to be able to replenish the powers of their respective kingdoms. Furthermore, Enchanted Journey offers more customization as players will have to create their own character first before restoring order to troubled kingdoms.

Disney characters that parents know and trust. Needless to say, these titles are aimed for young female gamers. [We always thought these games were meant for the Silent Hill and Resident Evil crowd, teehee.] Anyway, Disney's Senior Brand Manager Jessica Oifer mentioned that one of the strengths of these titles is that they feature characters girls and parents already know and trust:

We embrace the simplicity required by this age group while providing a challenging and rewarding experience set in beautiful Princess worlds. Not only are the games fun, they also introduce players to the positive attributes that make a true princess: courage, friendship, trust and the joy of discovery.

Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey is being developed by Papaya Studios and will be available fall of 2007. Disney Princess: Magical Jewels, lastly, will be released alongside the other title and is being handled by 1st Playable Productions.
