Carnival Games makes a return on the Nintendo Switch

IMG_9615.JPG

When the Nintendo Wii was at its peak, there were many games that tried to capture the userbase's attention. One of which was Carnival Games, by publisher 2K Games. The series would go on to sell 9.5 million copies on the Wii, before quietly disappearing with the end of the console's lifespan. Now, 2K Games has decided to bring the franchise back on the Nintendo Switch, offering a new experience of 20 different carnival games that all make use of the Joy-Con controllers. It's planned for release exclusively on the Switch on November 6th of this year. It'll retail for $39.99.

Built from the ground up for Nintendo Switch, Carnival Games is fun for the entire family and can be played alone or with up to four players simultaneously, leveraging the unique accessibility of the console’s Joy-Con controllers. The game features 20 exciting and re-imagined games in four unique alleys that can be played at home or on the go, alone or with family and friends.

Like a real-life county fair, Carnival Games allows players of all ages and experience levels to enjoy classic games like ring toss (“Post Master”) and alley ball horse racing (“Roll-R-Derby”), as well as brand new attractions like drone racing (“Light Speed”) and cosmic bowling (“Cosmic Strike”). Four uniquely themed alleys – Jungle Lane, Saturn Station, Vulture Gulch and Nuts & Bolts – provide a different look and feel for the games within them. Players have the chance to win tickets by playing any of the 20 games and redeem them for new games and outfits for their customizable carnival guest characters.

Key Features

– A Fun Variety of Carnival Games for Everyone: Like a real-life county fair, Carnival Games bursts with 20 exciting games that you can play over and over. Classic games such as shooting basketballs (“Swish”) and taking down clowns (“Clowning Around”) are joined by brand new attractions like flying drone racing (“Light Speed”) and cosmic bowling (“Cosmic Strike”). With 20 total games across four uniquely themed alleys, there’s fun for everyone!
– Carnival Games Everywhere: With Nintendo Switch, Carnival Games is a game for everyone and for everywhere. Whether on the big screen or small screen, Carnival Games can be enjoyed wherever you want to play.

So many awesome games for the Switch! When will one find the time to play them all?
Although I do have a few requests: Tomb Raider, Spiderman & Assassins Creed (then everything will be in place!)
