Global Star
Software
Announces
Carnival
Games™
Exclusively
For
Nintendo's
Wii™
Yes, You Can
Win a
Goldfish!
New York, NY
- May 22,
2007 -
Global Star
Software, a
publishing
label of
Take-Two
Interactive
Software,
Inc.
(NASDAQ:
TTWO),
announced
today that
Carnival
Games™ is
coming this
summer
exclusively
for
Nintendo's
Wii™. The
title is
being
developed by
Cat Daddy
Games, the
Take-Two
studio that
created the
popular
"Deal or No
Deal" PC
game.
Designed for
families and
children of
all ages,
Carnival
Games brings
home all the
excitement
and fanfare
of a day at
the
carnival.
The game
will
premiere
among a
select group
of titles
chosen by
Nintendo at
the May
Media Summit
on May 22
and 23 in
Seattle.
"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."
Carnival
Games is
designed for
up to four
players and
features
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.
To add to
the
festivities,
you can win
over 250
unique,
upgradeable
virtual
prizes in
Carnival
Games, from
a goldfish
to a giant
stuffed
animal twice
as big as
you are.
Additionally,
you can win
rewards to
customize
your in-game
characters,
ranging from
a Pirate's
wardrobe to
Viking
horns.
No carnival
experience
would be
complete
without a
mysterious
fortune
teller. Drop
a ticket
into the
Great Swami
machine and
your future
- whether
the boy in
your class
has a crush
on you or if
you are
going to get
that
promotion at
work - may
be instantly
revealed.
"Carnival
Games is the
perfect
addition to
the growing
lineup of
family games
for the
Wii," said
Steve
Singer, Vice
President,
Licensing of
Nintendo of
America.
"We've
worked
hand-in-hand
with
Nintendo to
ensure we've
maximized
both the
technical
and fun
factor for
Carnival
Games on the
Wii," said
co-developers
Harley Howe
and Pat
Wilkinson of
Cat Daddy
Games.
Carnival
Games is not
yet rated by
the ESRB and
will have a
suggested
retail price
of $39.99.
The title is
planned for
release this
summer.
