One of the developers was kind enough to sit down and answer a few question about Scooby-Doo First Frights, which came out this past week. A mighty thanks for everyone who put this together.
Pure Nintendo – Scooby-Doo! First Frights Q&A
1: Does this game have anything to do with the New Scooby-Doo movie?
While it is releasing the same day as the new movie, Scooby-Doo! First Frights focuses on its own story and is not directly tied to the movie.
2: Does this game have the original voice actors from the movie?
We went with voice actors who have been doing the cartoons for years. Frank Welker, for instance, has played the voice of Fred since the very first cartoon series and plays a few voices in our game (including Fred and Scooby).
3: According to the trailer, Scooby-Doo First Frights is only coming to the DS, Wii and PS2. Are there any differences in the Wii and PS2 versions of the game?
