Ubisoft has announced that The Smurfs are hitting the Nintendo 3DS this month in an exclusive adventure which aims to take advantage of the console's unique feature set.
The game will make use of the touchscreen, gyro sensor and microphone to host a range of mini-games.
We can tell you're gagging for more information, so here's a portion of the official press release. Please contain yourselves:
Developed by Magic Pockets, The Smurfs for Nintendo 3DS will take players to the colourful comic book world of their favourite characters. In this great new adventure, players will need to help the Smurfs rebuild their village while finding out what could have possibly caused its destruction. To complete their quest, they will have to play through a variety of 12 mini-games, collecting resources and avoiding Gargamel's traps.
In this brand new Smurfs game, players will be able to build the greatest village for Papa Smurf, Smurfette and all their friends. Through multiple environments, from Gargamel's lab to the deep forest surrounding the village, players will collect wood, rocks and bricks to help them in their quest. Customisation will be possible for both the Smurf houses as well as the whole village by sawing logs, nailing planks and stacking bricks.
All the mini-games are tailored for Nintendo 3DS, taking full advantage of its features: players will play hide and seek with the Nintendo 3DS stylus, pilot a plane through the woodlands, organise music contests or create their very own recipes by tilting the Nintendo 3DS to mix ingredients and blow in the microphone to cool their preparations.

Nailing planks AND stacking bricks?! Sold.
Adorable. Is there a mini game where i can kick Brainy Smurf? If so, SOLD!!!
"This month"
'nuff said.
OK, watched the vid, was better than I thought. (The 2D-3D flyover world maps were a nice touch.) if I had a 4-7 year old kid I would purchase this from the bargain bin for $5. Maybe $8.
Eh...
Phew! And here I thought Ubisoft was no longer supporting Nintendo with quality titles... Good times are headed our way! (Is it safe to say I am vexed with Ubisoft?)
Why isn't America getting this until October? Riot!
Why is there surf music playing? Shouldn't that be Smurf music?
My favorite franchise by my favourite publisher.
Damnit this looks worse than the Wayforward Looney Tunes game.
I'll definitely still get it.
@ManateeBlubber Holiday sales most likely same reason we arent getting yoshi Stupid Christmas
Oh, Smurf no! @SirQuincealot There was a Wayforward Looney Tunes game?
What the smurf! One for the kids that actually looks okay for what it is. Same goes for Yakari. Not epic by any means, but decent enough basic gameplay. Unlike one amiibo-centric kiddie effort I can think of...
Wow! I can change the color of the roofs?! SOLD! I'd better get this for my brother and sister too!
Seeing that its out, a review is very much needed Nintendolife. Just saying.
Honestly, I couldn't be smurfed...
At the very least I have to admit the graphics seem quite fitting with the Smurfs (the one outside of the mini-games), more so than how creepy they look in those new movies.
ugh. The "adventure" part of the title is misleading since it's yet another collection of mini games.
oh god no thanks
Oh god... why?
Wow! A whole variety of 12 mini games!?Compared to Mario party's 50+ mini games!? What a great idea ubisoft!
/s
Yyyaaa, a mini-game collection on a systems already full of them...
Predictions: It's gonna be a system seller babe $$$.
No.
@ninty4thewin What about if RareWare, before Microsoft purchase, make a Smurfs collect-a-thon 3D game for Nintendo 64?
