Forums - Gaming Discussion - Carnival Games expands to DS, back to Wii with Carnival Games: Mini-Golf

Neos on 11 March 2008

After shipping "more than one million units worldwide" with its debut title on the Wii, Take-Two just announced plans to expand its Carnival Games brand with two new mini-game miasmas: Carnival Games for DS and Carnival Games: Mini-Golf for Wii. We expect both to cash in on those nostalgic memories of trips to the carnival with grandpa, including that completely non-hilarious time you stuck your arm too deeply into the cotton candy machine.

The DS version will demand interaction through a "frenzied combination" of stylus maneuvering, tapping, speaking and blowing (no surprise there), and will feature games such as Alley Ball, Frog Leap and the intriguing "Clown Hammer." Do we bludgeon the clowns or do we wield them? We'll find out in Summer.

As for the Wii's Carnival Games: Mini-Golf, it comes exclusively to Wii and can best be described as "a hole in fun," it says here. A myriad of miniature golf courses awaits up to four players when it releases in Fall 2008. Say Harley Howe and Patrick Wilkinson, studio heads of 2K Play's Cat Daddy Games, "These new titles in our growing Carnival Games franchise are fun, have true-to-life physics and deliver on the promise of the original: you can almost smell the cotton candy."

What's funny is, if Carnival Games were to have flopped and Manhunt 2 would have been the success, we probably would be getting a GTA Wii Edition or a new Warriors game. For those that think minigame collections selling doesn't breed more of the same, this will just be the beginning. These developers are going to stick with what works, ports and mingames.

I would actually buy the mini-golf game (if it was cheap). It would probably be pretty fun. I haven't bought the original Carnival Games, and have no interest in the DS version though.

 So you bought Manhunt 2?

Yay, more U$ 500 budget projects. Keep them coming. I have a feeling this one will be so epic it will take 2 instead of the usual 1 weekend.

lol. Nice.

The mini-golf one sounds interesting enough. I just wonder if it'll be any good. I haven't played Carnival Games.
