GBA Title Change - Arthur and the Minimoys Becomes Arthur and the Invisibles

No, it's not Arthur the Aardvark teaming up with a new super hero team, Arthur and the Invisibles is the new North American title for the fantastical feature film from French filmmaker Luc Besson (darn, his name doesn't start with an "f", and I was on a roll!)

Based on the children's books Arthur and the Minimoys, also written by Besson, the film was originally shot under the same title as the book and will remain so overseas, but the powers that be were be concerned that the name would be too confusing for us Yanks, so exit Minimoys and hello Invisibles. To avoid confusion, Atari also altered the title of their game based on the film so it matches the flicks new handle.

The GBA version of Arthur and the Invisibles is being developed by Misitc Software and scheduled for release in January 2007. The story follows a young boy named Arthur who happens upon the magical Land of the Invisibles. As usual, very little info has been released surrounding the GBA version of the game, but according to the press release the gameplay will feature "driving, fighting, flying and puzzle solving".

Please note, the image above is the European packaging with that oh so confusing Minimoy title. I'll post the North American packshot as soon as its announced.
