Oct. 6--CALABASAS -- THQ Inc. (Nasdaq: THQI) and Nickelodeon announced that The Fairly OddParents: Clash with the Anti-World for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America. Priced at $19.99, the game will allow children around the country to interact with characters from the children's television show.

Game features include a playable Wanda and Cosmo, as well as a wish-fulfillment system that turns Timmy into action-hero characters such as a ninja, pirate, supergardener and giant gerbil.

In the game, an experiment to prove fairies exist has turned Timmy Turner's world into the Anti-World, where everything is opposite Ñ even Timmy and his Fairy Godparents. Now Anti-Cosmo, Anti-Wanda and Anti-Timmy are hatching a sinister plan to stop the earth from turning and make it Friday the 13th forever. With their powers slowly dwindling as the dreadful day approaches, the real Timmy and his Fairy Godparents must travel through the Anti-lands and save the rest of the world from the evil Anti-Fairies.

THQ is a worldwide developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software. The company develops its products for all popular game systems, personal computers and wireless devices.
