XSEED Games announced today that Ivy the Kiwi? has shipped to stores nationwide for the Wii and Nintendo DS.

Ivy the Kiwi? follows the storybook adventures of lonely baby bird, Ivy, as she traverses beautiful 2-D landscapes and challenging obstacles in search of her mother and identity. From the forest floor amidst a bed of leaves, her journey begins as she hatches from her egg and finds herself completely alone. Frightened and unable to fly, she sets off through a dreamy forest on foot. As she wanders, Ivy stumbles upon a single red feather, the first clue to her mother’s whereabouts and the catalyst of the little heroine’s quest. As Ivy runs back and forth, players of all ages utilize the Wii Remote or Nintendo DS stylus to create the game’s signature stretchy and flexible vines that propel Ivy forward, over, and through obstacles before her. The game features over 100 hundred stages for both the DS and Wii versions. In addition to the single-player storyline, up to four players can compete using a single-card via local wireless connection on DS or in split-screen mode on Wii.
