Littlest Pet Shop Friends will be brimming with new elements that girls love, from an all-new, adorable collection of pets and their pet best-friends, to a large array of customizable accessories, fun mini-games, and a deep story with all new adventures set in a vibrant world that features delightful new graphics. Hot on the heels of EA’s successful Littlest Pet Shop releases in 2008, this latest game will also offer cooperative play as girls play together side-by-side.

Both platforms of Littlest Pet Shop Friends will feature 16 new cute pets such as a peacock, Great Dane and lady bug. The NDS versions will also offer exclusive pets in each of the three games: Littlest Pet Shop City Friends, Littlest Pet Shop Country Friends and Littlest Pet Shop Beach Friends. Every pet has a bigger personality and special traits that help players navigate through the game and each pet has a best-friend who supplies the additional skills necessary to accomplish fun tasks or adventures. These engaging game elements help players to advance through the story and get a paw step closer to the big celebration.

Inspired by its tremendously popular toy brand counterpart, Littlest Pet Shop Friends allows girls to take their favorite pets on quirky, fun quests such as delivering party invitations, serving up cake and ice cream and gathering party decorations, all in preparation for the biggest Littlest Pet Shop party ever. Littlest Pet Shop Friends offers a few surprises such as an exciting mystery guest who flutters about, ready to make an appearance at the party, plus new unique gifts players can give to their pets.
