Watch Out! That DS May Hold Dynamite!

Crave Entertainment has announced that Napoleon Dynamite is heading for your Nintendo DS.

Crave Entertainment announced today that it will publish the first videogame based on the wildly popular Fox Searchlight motion picture Napoleon Dynamite.

Napoleon Dynamite quickly gained cult-classic status with its quirky look at life in rural Idaho. Teens and adults alike love the movie's colorful characters and offbeat take on teenage awkwardness. Napoleon Dynamite catchphrases (Vote for Pedro!) have become pop-culture fixtures, with references to the movie popping up everywhere from T-shirts to ice- cream flavors.

Crave's upcoming release will feature favorite Napoleon Dynamite characters including Kip, Uncle Rico, Pedro, Tina the llama, and of course, Napoleon himself.

"Napoleon Dynamite is one of the great cult classics of the past decade," said Mark Burke, senior vice president of product planning and business development at Crave Entertainment. "It's one of those films that has great memorable lines and characters, and we expect that fans of the movie will really like the game."

  Woot! Actually this will probably be terrible. But if its gonna be based on the movie, they could do a Ouendan take with the dancing part. That would work and be worth the money alone just to be able to make napoleon dance the dance that has made 'Canned Heat' by jamiroque so famous.

  Fantastic! I loved this film. Jedimoney, both The Warriors and The Godfather are over 30 years old as is Jaws.

  The movie wasn't funny, and them making a cash-in release about it isn't either.
