Special Update from Spike Hike 2013


Heyo guys, Spike has some amazingly awesome fantastico news!!! Check it out:

Hello penguins!

I’ve had a secret that I’ve wanted to share with everyone for almost a year… Today I can finally share it with you!

Some of you may have seen me show up occasionally in the Friends list from a place called “My Penguin.” A few of you guessed that it may be a secret Club Penguin app on mobile… You were right!!! 

I’m excited to tell you that our new iPad app is coming soon!
 

The first version of “My Penguin” will let you play some of your favorite mini-games, shop from the catalog, and change your Penguin’s outfit . The app is totally connected to Club Penguin, so your Penguin, clothing and coins will be shared whether on mobile or the web.

That’s just the beginning, too… We’ll be updating the app regularly and bringing more of the Club Penguin world to the app throughout the year!! Stay tuned to the blog for more news and updates on “My Penguin”!

Until then… Waddle On!

It will also be regularly updated so the app will become EVEN better!!Incase you missed on what Spike said about the “My penguin” tab, let’s recap ; The first version of “My penguin” will include your favourite mini games, shopping from the catalogue and changing your penguins outfit.

Daffodaily5’s Featured Fashion: April 22nd!

 

Hiya! …And good morning.
 
*FEATURED FASHIONS NEWS ALERT*
 
Welcome to Daffodaily’s News Corner. Coming up on today’s program: Reports of ‘superhero’ sightings around the Island are increasing, sales of capes are going through the roof, and many penguins have reported anonymous heroic deeds taking place. CP photographers have managed to get some exclusive snaps:
 
0vicky- Some sort of super hero dog was spotted marshalling civilians through the Town with a megaphone. Could being cute and cuddly be her super power? WOOF!
 
                               
 
Emperor Pegi is showing some ace colour-coordinating powers! I wonder if his laser beam shines to outer space? Because his style is out of this world!
 
                              
 
This hero is certainly not stealthy with that epic rainbow afro, but I wonder just what kind of powers Houdini2 has? Red neckerchief- this season’s must have hero accessory 😉
 
                              
 
We’ve heard reports that Pingwan2004 has been on a ghost hunt around the Island, saving penguins and swinging from room to room with that amazing grappling hook.
 
                              
 
I need your help giving these penguins amazing-brill superhero names! Comment below with your superhero name suggestions, and the winner will get 1000 coins. Thanks for tuning in to Daffo’s News Corner, and until next time- byeee!
 
Waddle on!
