Two brand new Doctor Who video games featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy have been revealed this week!

Return to Earth for Nintendo Wii and Evacuation Earth for Nintendo DS will be available to buy from October 29th 2010, and are being released as part of a previously reported £10million deal between the BBC and Nintendo.

Read on for the artwork and plot details for both games, and you can also click on the covers for bigger versions.

The games can now be pre-ordered from online retailers such as Amazon and Play.

Return to Earth (Nintendo Wii)
Released October 29th | RRP: £34.99

The Doctor and Amy help the SS Lucy Gray to return home to Earth, unravelling a Cyber Plot and preventing the Daleks from retrieving a lost Time Axis along the way.

The Doctor and Amy arrive on a human colony ship returning to Earth after it was rendered uninhabitable by solar flares. Without provocation, they are attacked by the ship’s maintenance robots and become separated in the struggle.

The Doctor is eventually led to the ship’s Head Quarters, where he discovers a Cyber Leader has connected himself to the ships AI and is blackmailing it into doing his bidding, or else he’ll kill the crew.

Meanwhile the Cybermen that were hiding in the ship ambush Amy and chase her out into space. Guide the Doctor and Amy as they face their biggest adventure yet!

Evacuation Earth (Nintendo DS)
Released October 29th | RRP: £34.99

When the Doctor and Amy arrive at the Lake District to watch the humans leave the planet, the TARDIS suddenly gets lifted from them and bolted onto the evacuation ship. They have to make their way onto the ship before it leaves.

As the ship launches, it has technical problems and they realise the Silurians have built a ship underneath. The Doctor finds a solution to make the ship work.

Suddenly, the Dalek ship smashes into the human one and splits the Silurian half off. It’s the Dalek ship that chased the Time Axis into the sun - they weren’t destroyed, they actually made a random jump several hundred years into the past.

The Daleks are pleased that they can exact revenge on the Doctor but first they make him fix their ship. The Doctor goes along with their plan but tricks them into bolting the TARDIS onto their ship, which he promptly jumps into and uses to fling them into the nearest black hole.

“We are incredibly excited to be collaborating with BBC Worldwide on these games,” said Simon Bailey, managing director of developers Asylum Entertainment. “It is our firm belief that the franchise has massive potential on the Nintendo DS and Wii formats and it’s an honour to be bringing Doctor Who video games to the show’s huge fan base.”

In addition, unconfirmed reports suggest that a sonic screwdriver shaped Wii remote control unit and DS stylus will be released to accompany the launch of the games.

Return to Earth and Evacuation Earth will be on sale in the UK, Europe and Australia. We’ll bring you news regarding their US releases as and when. What do you think?

    Why have Nintendo decided to only just tell us this? I’m not expecting much to be honest and the second games plot gives everything away, what idiots.
