Take Two Announces Carnival Games for Wii

Posted by: kombo

Take Two today announced that one of its subsidiary companies, Global Star Software, will be publishing an all new Wii-only title called Carnival Games for the console this summer. "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 of 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." Carnival Games is exactly what it sounds like â€“ a compilation of games found at your average town carnival. Mini-games include Clown Splash, Milk Can Toss, Nerves of Steel, Lucky Cups, Hoops, Day at the Races, Dunk Tank and possibly more. You can expect to see Carnival Games on store shelve sometime this summer, priced at $39.99. Expect more information out of the Nintendo Media Summit, which is currently going on in Seattle, Washington, soon. In the meantime, check out the debut trailer for the game here.
