kailaTHQ will debut a tablet peripheral for the Wii console this holiday season. Dubbed the uDraw GameTablet, the device is a 4" x 6" pen tablet with a dock for the Wii Remote controller that provides power as well as motion-control functions. The pressure-sensitive stylus, in addition to providing directional control, reproduces the functionality of the Nunchuk controller's C and Z buttons.
uDraw Studio, a painting application, will be bundled with the device. THQ promises a robust platform for art creation, including nine adjustable implements (chalk, airbrush, stamp, etc) and 11 canvas types. Mood-setting environments, replay functionality, and SD-card support (so artists can access their saved works for sharing or printing) round out the package. To keep things user-friendly to would-be-Picassos, plenty of tutorials will be available to get the ball rolling.
Two games that take advantage of the uDraw GameTablet are also underway: Pictionary and Dood's Big Adventure! Details related to Pictionary are scarce (though anyone familiar with the game can likely fill in the blanks); Dood's Big Adventure! is a genre-busting platformer in which players use the stylus to customize not only Dood and his environs (in the name of creative puzzle-solving), but even the game's assembly of bad guys.
