Hasbro Family Game Night announced for Nintendo Wii

Twisted | May 16, 2008 | News | Wii 
Hasbro Family Game Night has been announced for the Nintendo Wii by Electronic Arts. Some games that will be in the game are Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect 4, Sorry!, and Sorry! Sliders.

The release date has not been announced, but it is expected to release sometime this autumn.
If there’s one thing the Nintendo Wii is in desperate need of, it isn’t a serious racer or another A-class RPG… no, it’s another board game compilation. Thank goodness for Electronic Arts, who has today announced Hasbro Family Game Night as part of their previous agreement with the toy manufacturer.

Hasbro Family Game Night includes virtual re-creations of six of the firm’s popular board games including: Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect 4, Sorry! and the all new Sorry! Sliders. Fancy spicing things up even more? There’s the likes of Connect Four Power Chips, Boggle Portal Cubes, Reverse Yahtzee and Battleship Barrage.

Players can deck out their very own distinctive digital game, furniture and decorations all themed to their favourite games. What’s more, Game Night features a party mode that gives players the option to build a custom party game by choosing their desired game(s), number of players and setting a time limit. Party mode mini-game challenges include Match the Pattern, Shake for Words and Bomb Run.

“We’re giving families a new way to bond and play together,” said Chip Lange, Vice President and General Manager of EA’s Casual Entertainment Label. “HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT offers parents and their children a digital party experience full of classic brands they know and love. Between original and new rule settings, an easy-to-play party mode and a customizable game room feature, the variety and choice promise hours of fun family play.”

“HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT is designed to bring family and friends of all ages together in the digital living room for an evening of ‘anything goes’ fun,” said Mark Blecher, General Manager of Digital Media and Gaming at Hasbro. “Hasbro has been providing families with the best in game play for decades, and now they can enjoy some of our most beloved brands with an all-new digital twist.”

Family Game Night is due for release this autumn.

    Hot ass cheeks. Why do we always get 3D Board Games? The only thing I like about this is Mr. Potato Head in the Background.

    This is why the Wii annoys me sometimes, I love my Wii but when they bring games out like this its just a waste, they could always bring out a better game.
