Publisher reveals new licensed line-up from cartoon company coming in autumn

THQ’s licensing partnership with Nickeolodeon has egenrated $1 billion in sales, the publisher has announced.

Over 50 million Nickeoloedon games have been shifted under the THQ label, such as its Spongebob Squarepants games.

"With the enormous popularity of Wii and DS coupled with our exceptionally diverse portfolio of Nickelodeon-based games, THQ continues to lead in family entertainment," said director of global brand management at THQ Jim Huntley.

"Featuring new forms of gameplay such as the music-based The Naked Brothers Band and the drawing-based Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, we expect our upcoming titles to offer completely new ways for families to play together.

The company also announced its 2008 Nickelodeon line-up, which is scheduled for release in the autumn across Wii, DS and PS2.
