p2p news / p2pnet: Microsoft, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon —— and Paulie Pretztail.

That’s a combination to strike fear and loathing into the hearts of parents. But it’s happening.

Bill and the Boyz are in bed with 4Kids Entertainment, "a global provider of children’s entertainment and merchandise licensing" with products such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc.

The result is Viva Pinata, destined for its own Fox Saturday morning TV show this fall, followed by an Xbox 360 game to be launched this Christmas, says the New York Daily News, going on:

"Microsoft’s eager to hook a younger generation of gamers and its hoping Hudson, Fergy and other critters like Franklin Fizzlybear and Paulie Pretztail will do the trick."

And that says it all.
