Carnival Games heading exclusively to Wii

Wednesday 23 May 2007

Global Star Software (a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive) has announced that Carnival Games is heading exclusively to the Wii this summer. Developed by Cat Daddy Games, famed for the PC’s Deal or No Deal, Carnival Games is designed for families and children of all ages and aims to bring the excitement of the carnival into gamers’ homes.

“The moment you step into Carnival Games you can almost smell the funnel cakes as you are greeted by the barker and the sights and sounds of a classic carnival,” said Steve Lux, Vice President of Publishing for Global Star Software. “The game was built from the ground up to take full advantage of the capabilities of the Wii Remote, so the flick of your wrist in ‘Alley Ball’ makes the difference between scoring an impressive 100 points and a lowly 10 points. The ability to pound the Wii Remote like a sledgehammer with the right mix of power and finesse in ‘Test of Strength’ determines whether you are a Contender or a Grandma.”

Step right up!

Designed for up to four players, Carnival Games features more than 25 popular carnival games including Clown Splash, Milk Can Toss, Nerves of Steel, Lucky Cups, Hoops, Day at the Races, Fortune Telling and Dunk Tank. Players stand to win over 250 unique and upgradeable virtual prizes as well as rewards to customize their in-game characters whether it be a Pirate’s kit or Viking Horns.

Carnival Games will retail at $39.99 when it hits North American shelves this summer. The title has yet to be confirmed for Europe. Head over to Global Star Software to view the kooky game play trailer.
