Ubi's new Wii party game News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Ubisoft has announced that an adaptation of popular board game Cranium will be coming to Wii in December, complete with its own fancy spectacles.
The idea is to work your way around the board until you reach the end and win, passing through four different sections relating to different skills as you go: one based on language, one on artistic panache, one on trivial knowledge, and one on performance skills. It's created so that everyone playing should find strength in at least one area.
Each section is divided into various challenges, such as sketching clues, answering questions, solving anagrams or performing charades. Both Ubisoft and the creators of Cranium are confident and excited about the potential of recreating it on Wii.
Here special glasses will let you read clues on the screen that no one else can see, before you're asked to do things like paint the solar system on a wall or hammer out Auld Lang Syne' on a xylophone - all promising to be hilarious fun using the Wiimote.
Cranium Kabookii will be available in Canada, France, Spain, the UK and US, where localised teams will create specific questions for their audience.
Look out for more information soon.

The glasses idea sounds really cool actually! Now they should figure out a way to do that with 4 player split screen shooter games, I can't remember the amount of times I was playing Perfect Dark with the Farsight and people would know I was after them

"Porting board games to the Wii.
Christ..." So porting board game "Civilisation" to the PC was a really bad idea then? |

The Civilisation PC game was not based on the board game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilizatio... |

Oh well, there goes my paper-thin argument then. Never mind. So - when's this coming out on the PS3 then, with rumble?

"Why is it any different to people going 'Halo 3, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed' about the 360?"
Because the 360 has a large and varied catalogue of games. |

ERm, so why are you in a wii thread? If i was in a 360 thread and said (wrngly) that the 360 had no decent games - you'd pipe up and state bioshock, oblivion and halo. Should my reply then be "im sick of reading about bloody bioshock, oblivion and halo"? Makes me wonder, if your not interested about the machine or the games on it.. why the fuck are you here? Apart from to troll |

Sorry.. you posted before i posted my comment
>Because the 360 has a large and varied catalogue of games. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA BWAWWAAHAHAHAAH LMFAO!!! .. as long as their fps games yes? Metroid Prime 3 = 1st person adventure Super Paper Mario = rpg Mario Galaxy = platformer smash bros = beat em up batillion wars = strategy Now lets look at your "varied" list: Halo 3 = shooter Mass Effect = shooter Assassin's Creed = shooter Bioshock = rpg shooter etc etc But of course.. all the wii games are sequels.. so they MUST be the same and not different AT ALL.. *sigh* |

smelly: -6 respect points for saying Assassin's Creed is a shooter. I love the Wii but sorry the 360 has the most varied back catalogue for next-gen thus far. The Wii doesn't have a single RPG that I can think of, and the PS3 has about 30 games. |

>"Assassin's Creed = shooter"
O_o You shoot with swords now? I'm not suprised really. I was expecting the "gustapwii" (aka smelly) to rear his head whenever anyone says anything bad about the wii in a comments area (where he proceeds to attack the 360, even when it isn't mentioned).

sigh.
@Owen-B : So you're telling me that no-one would mind if i went into every comment thread regarding say.. the 360.. and tell everyone that it's shite and only has fps games on it? Would that be, or would it not be trolling? And would that not make me a sad little shit? I think it would - the same as i think of all the other sad little shits who post in every thread about a wii game (or ps3 it seems.. what is it with 360 fanboys? Insecure or what?). >smelly: -6 respect points for saying Assassin's Creed is a shooter Oh, im sorry.. I got it wrong.. boo fucking whoo.. So i'm a dumbass in the eyes of all the 360 troll boys. Funny how they're the same ones that say "all mario games are the same" or "nintendo is unoriginal" or "metroid is a generic fps" isnt it? Also funny that ones are still shooters and still pretty much prove my point. Lets replace "assassins creed" (Which i admit i've not played) with "gears of war" (which i have) .. Point still stands. No move along fanboys.. back to threads about your own machine you go.. shoo shoo.. come along now.. |

While smelly didn't get it right, it doesn't change the fact that it's not him that is the troll in this thread. In fact, it appears that most threads attract people that want to say that it's crap. It goes a bit like this:
Wii thread - Wii sucks! 360 thread - 360 sucks! PS3 thread - ... you get the point It's highly irritating and is starting to put me off the forum like few things have done before. You can't discuss a game without having 100 assholes telling you it's crap, from a crap company, on a crap platform. |

>Seriously, talk about a troll floating on the river de-nile.
A troll is a dumbass retarded little shit of a kid such as yourself who comes onto threads about games or machines they dont own/like and tell us all how crap they are at every given opportunity - while telling us how great their machine of choice is. It's a bit bloody sad. And it pisses me off - which is why i keep bringing you guys up on it. I'm not trolling. I'm replying to the trolls telling them to get stuffed (in much the same way as im sure you would if someone came trolling on a thread about a game on your machine). Back on topic... And ignoring the trolling shits from now on .. lets have a discussion about the game shall we? Not another fucking party game.. The glasses sound like a nice gimmick, but I cant see them working really really well - as i'd imagine different contrast/brightness ratios on a tv (which most people will have) will cause the words to be visible to people without glasses. Especially if it's a colour based thing - lcd screens will be especially screwed here. |

@ smelly:
I like Wii Sports, Zelda, some gamecube RPG's I wanted to play, I might like trauma centre though I'm yet to buy it. I also think Wii Fit is a nice Idea. Admittedly, it gets less love from me than my PC gaming-wise, but still the Wii concept appeals. And you don't need to be a mario/metroid fan to appreciate it. |
