Majesco brings childrens dream jobs to Nintendo DS

Ask a toddler what he (or she) wants to become, and you've got a 90% chance on one of the following jobs: doctor, firefighter or astronaut. As for economical reasons we can't all become astronauts, Majesco invites us to pretend we're one with the new My Hero-range for Nintendo DS.

Majesco Entertainment today announced a series of aspirational Nintendo DS games under the brand name My Hero. In this new adventure simulation franchise, players experience firsthand the heroic acts of the role models they look up to - a daring astronaut, a courageous firefighter, and a life-saving doctor - by completing a variety of challenging missions relating to each profession. My Hero: Astronaut and My Hero: Firefighter are expected to launch in August, while My Hero: Doctor will release this December for a budget price of $19.99.

"Every generation has its own champions, but certain professions, by their very nature, consistently produce the real-life heroes that youth always look up to," said Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations for Majesco. "Majesco's new My Hero product line lets players experience what it's like to be the brave and committed role models they admire within a fun, Touch Screen adventure format."

Below we've included a brief summary and a screenshot of each of the three games. More information and screenshots can be found on our gamepages for the three My Hero-titles.
