Wii - Global Star Software Brings the Carnival Atmosphere into Your Home

Global Star Software (publishing label of Take-Two Interactive) has just announced today that Carnival Games is heading exclusively towards Nintendo's Wii this summer holiday. Cat Daddy Games are responsible for the title's development, creators of the popular PC game "Deal or No Deal."

Carnival Games is a family game that brings home all the excitement and fanfare of a day at the carnival. Steve Lux, Vice President of Publishing for Global Star Software, is confident that the upcoming Wii title will bring the carnival atmosphere into people's homes. Um... I mean that in a good way. Just read the man's comments:

"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. 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 features:

- up to four players support
- over 25 of the most popular games seen in midways and boardwalks throughout the world, including Clown Splash, Milk Can Toss, Nerves of Steel, Lucky Cups, Hoops, Day at the Races and the crowd-favorite Dunk Tank.
- win over 250 unique, upgradeable virtual prizes in Carnival Games, from a goldfish to a giant stuffed animal twice as big as you are
- win rewards to customize your in-game characters, ranging from a Pirate's wardrobe to Viking horns
- a mysterious fortune teller: drop a ticket into the Great Swami machine and your future may be instantly revealed

The game will retail for $39.99, when it's released this summer. If you want to actually see the game, visit this site, it hosts the trailer for Carnival Games. The title will also be a premiere among a select group of titles chosen by Nintendo at the May Media Summit on May 22 and 23 in Seattle.
