Bob Ross painting on the Revolution?! [Update 1]

by David Hinkle { Mar 31st 2006 at 9:37AM }

Either the April Fool's jokes are starting early this year or the Gaming Gods have smiled greatly upon us Nintendo-loving gamers. Go Nintendo links to a press release on the official Bob Ross (R.I.P.) website stating a game based on Bob Ross' teachings is to hit the Revolution. Supposedly in collaboration with development house AGFRAG, the game aims to "utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross and can play the addictive and fun games that we have planned for the title. "

So not only can we expect some tutorial-based gameplay, but some minigames as well? Cruel joke or miraculous blessing?

[Update: It's truth! Looks like RawmeatCowboy got an email from AGFRAG confirming that the game is indeed headed to the Revolution and DS. Rock! Thanks Adam Blinkinsop!]

At GDC I overheard a fellow in a Bob Ross shirt talking about some kind of 'brushstroke technology'. COINCIDENCE?

This may have been what they were talking about.
