THQ Brings Jeopardy! And Wheel Of Fortune To Xbox

THQ Brings Jeopardy! And Wheel Of Fortune To Xbox

Oh, I'm sorry. Your answer must be in the form of a question

Written by Graymouse 1 on 07 August 12 at 12:24 | Credit to METAL MIN0TAUR

Among all the other recent game announcements, THQ revealed that, coming this fall, two of America's favorite long time game shows, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! will be coming to your Xbox 360. At this point in time there is little information about these two games, except for a few screenshots of both, which you can see below.

Both retail games will be released in October 2012. As soon as we find out more information about these games we will be sure to pass it along to you.

Why does the guy on the right in the Wheel of Fortune pics look like Jackie Chan?

Ostensibly easy completions, without the required shame of some other games of this nature on my card (Open Season, anyone). I like it.

I have never been more:

"In"
-throwing money at the screen-
"Take all my money"

before for games. I love both of these, and can't wait to play them with my friends. I'm sure that online will be shitty with everyone cheating, but still, local/friends only online will be amazing.

These would have made for a good 1v100 style of games not enough to warrant a retail for me.

I know I'll be disappointed, especially since Jeopardy! is multiple choice, but I'm getting these day 1 anyways.

I am surprised that it's happening, though - last I checked, Sony owned the shows which is why the games have been non-Microsoft-system-exclusive for a while...

"should" be fun, just please let me use a controller with Kinect optional, getting up and moving around for some games is fun but having to stand though entire question games like http://www.trueachievements.com/Millionaire-xbox-360.htm gets old fast not to mention having to use your hands to visibly select your answer in local co-op thus giving away what you think the answer is to your competitor.

so yeah

a) make Kinect at least optional (really answering with your voice should be all thats included, maybe
spinning the wheel too, although after the novelty wears off i would rather just press A)

b) Stick to the actual game show format ( I don't mind when they throw in different ways to play but Millionaire kinda put me off with how few modes and the one main mode is nothing like the TV show was)

c) I think that's it really wink if its anywhere close then should be a blast with the family

Full retail? They look like arcade games. I'm sure I'll pick these up after a price drop, I'm a sucker for good gameshow type games. Now can we please get Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to the US?

Kind of hard to believe that it took 7 years to get these games on the X-BOX 360. I'll be getting them when they are cheap. Still waiting on Family Feud to drop big time and still waiting for Millionaire to have a release here. Why doesn't the 360 have a Press Your Luck release? Wouldn't it be cool to see a HD remake of the Clock Tower trilogy?

Besides, even if you gave the answer away, the bonus for selecting the answer first would still mean that you'd win!

NickHawkeye said:Stick to the actual game show format ( I don't mind when they throw in different ways to play but Millionaire kinda put me off with how few modes and the one main mode is nothing like the TV show was)My understanding is that while the show had some changes from the "original" US primetime format with Regis, it was using the format of the current syndicated show.

TopherXPwns said:Now can we please get Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to the US?If you mean the arcade game: no, because Ubisoft has the US rights, and already released their own (retail) Millionaire game.
