Your favourite yellow family will be on your Wii this Autumn...

Third party monolith Electronic Arts have confirmed that The Simpsons (working title) is being developed for the Wii, DS, PS3, PS2, Xbox 360 and PSP for release this Autumn. The new title will be action-based over 16 levels, each created to be an episode of the hit series.

Every episode will apparently feature unique title animations, settings, and stories. Every episode requires the player to control two family members, or one each with a friend if you choose to play co-operatively.

Apparently, the Simpsons family realise at the beginning of the game they have been trapped within your games console, and so might as well use this to their own ends to get special powers. Bart becomes able to transform himself into Bartman, Homer into Homerball, etc.

With a witty script full of the usual pop culture jokes and said to make fun of the games industry itself, it sounds like EA have another hit on their hands. We'll bring you more details as its release approaches.
