Partnering with Mattel, the global leader with the most recognized brands in the toy industry, THQ plans to produce and distribute videogames based on Barbie, Hot Wheels and Fisher-Price. The companies will also collaborate to expand the videogame and interactive potential of newer properties such as Monster High and long-time Mattel favourites such as Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em, Masters of the Universe, Polly Pocket and others.
Full acquisition will "significantly enhance Mattel's capabilities in self-publishing," says Mattel CEO and chairman
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Looks like a great deal for fans. Mattel, Inc. and Minecraft today announced a partnership to launch the new Minecraft Creator Series Camp Enderwood DLC (downloadable content) Map. Introducing a host of new characters and a brand-new, immersive gameplay experience, Camp Enderwood is a digital destination developed in partnership between Mattel and Minecraft.

Too bad THQ still has exclusive rights to WWE as I haven't seen a proper wrestling game since 2003's WWE SmackDown Here Comes The Pain.
I wonder if they hold or had a license for Thundercats, that could make one hell of a game.
