14 DAY TRIAL // Atari has recently announced Jenga for the Wii and DS, based on the world famous wooden block tower building game. This new installment is designed to make the most of the two platforms' control systems, offering unpredictable, quick-paced tactical play that combines suspense and risk-taking, where "mounting anticipation comes to a crashing climax," as the official report reads.
"Fans of the Jenga family of games will fall in love with this exciting brand all over again," said Jeremiah Cohn, senior product manager, Atari, Inc. "We are thrilled to deliver this timeless and renowned game with new variations and surprises for the Nintendo DS and Wii."
"We are very pleased that Atari is now bringing Jenga's universal entertainment appeal to video gamers worldwide," added Paul Eveloff of Pokonobe Associates. "This new platform will extend the opportunity to play Jenga to video gamers and generate exceptional new play experiences. Atari's Jenga for the Nintendo DS and Wii takes the Edge-of-Your-Seat Fun? and party game style brilliantly to video game players of all skill levels!"
Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, players will have to battle trying to keep the Jenga tower from falling on the Wii, while on the DS, the touch screen will provide equally intuitive control of the fast-paced action. Players will experience sophisticated physics and a multitude of game-play options (single and multiplayer).
Assuring that this is a must have title, the report informs on the aspect that the game will contain all the fun, intensity and challenge of the original boxed game, with a wealth of exciting new enhancements, power-ups and twists.
This is all for now, but if you need more information on the game or any recently announced Atari title, visit the publisher's official site, and remember that Jenga is licensed by Pokonobe Associates and developed by Atomic Planet, launching on the Nintendo DS and Wii in November 2007.
