Atari Launches Jenga® World Tour for Wii… Edge-OfYour-Seat Video Gaming Fun™
Company: Atari
Date: 22 Feb 2008
LYON, FRANCE – 22 February 2008 – Atari today announced the launch of Jenga® World Tour for Wii based on the world famous wooden block tower building game. Following the 2007 launch of the game for Nintendo DS, the Wii game is designed to make the most of the console’s innovative control system, offering unpredictable, quick-paced, tactical play that combines suspense and risk-taking, where mounting anticipation comes to a crashing climax. Licensed by Pokonobe Associates and developed by Atomic Planet, Jenga World Tour for Wii and Nintendo DS is available now at retailers across Europe.
Players of the Wii version can get physical with the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers as they battle to keep the Jenga tower from falling, while on the DS the touch screen provides equally intuitive control of the fast-paced action. Players will experience sophisticated physics, and a multitude of game-play options (single and multiplayer). The game will contain all the fun, intensity and challenge of the original boxed game with a wealth of exciting new enhancements, power-ups and twists that are possible only in the videogame world. Simple to learn and fun to play, Jenga World Tour promises great entertainment for all ages.
