“	Club Penguin has always maintained a really strong emphasis on social, family fun and the value of working together. Moving onto the Wii platform lets us offer parents a great opportunity to connect with their kids in the comfort of their own living room around an active game that’s participatory, cooperative and a lot of fun for everyone, and that’s something we’re really excited about	”
	— Lane Merrifield (Billybob)

“	As the Club Penguin phenomenon continues to grow, it makes sense to bring the brand to Wii. Club Penguin Game Day! combines the distinct look and feel of the Club Penguin virtual world with competitive games that are easy to pick up and play using the Wii Remote.	”
