'Scene It? Twilight' dazzles Wii this autumn, DS in 2010

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 24th 2009 at 3:58PM }

Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, the twinkly blood-suckers of Twilight are coming to Wii in a Scene It? game this fall! Yes, the vampire franchise -- with only one released movie under its coffin -- will be the subject of an entire multimedia-based trivia game for Wii, featuring some 500 multiple-choice questions based on clips, music and audio from the film.

There are no details about the DS version of the game, which will release sometime next year. (There's also no mention of an Xbox 360 or PS3 version.) We'd call this the "shovelware cash-in of trivia games," but we'd be afraid that in doing so, pale, starving actors covered in glitter would come and suck our blood -- accompanied by throngs of enraged tweens and housewives that would rip our lifeless bodies to shreds. So ... we'll just call it not the game for us.

*shudder*

SpaceFox @ Sep 24th 2009 4:01PM

At the pic or at the game? Or...both?

That pic is awesome.

WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Sep 24th 2009 4:03PM

At anything Twilight related.

Seriously that series is just fucking retarded.

RiccochetJ @ Sep 24th 2009 4:25PM

Yea man! I feel ya! Anyone who likes that whole Twilight scene is a freak!

You did not just compare Twilight to Star Trek.

Trickob @ Sep 24th 2009 6:34PM

I think he was comparing people who are obsessed with things to people who are obsessed with different things

S. Tiger @ Sep 24th 2009 4:01PM

Sadly, the sales of this will probably beat out the sales of both Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia, combined.

If my wife sees this every Joystiq writer and commenter dies! Do you hear me?! DIES!!!!

Courtney @ Sep 24th 2009 4:40PM

Uh, ya know, just outta curiosity, what's yer wife's email address?

Space @ Sep 24th 2009 5:07PM

I already sent it to her.

Blank-Mage @ Sep 24th 2009 5:35PM

My, look at my wrist. I've gotta go now.

Doctor John Smith @ Sep 24th 2009 4:04PM

You forgot about the pack of gigantic man-bear-wolf-things.

Baalzak @ Sep 24th 2009 4:19PM

Nonono, it's half man, and half bear-pig.

MystileArmor @ Sep 24th 2009 5:30PM

You're both wrong, it's half retard, other half even more of a retard.

Roofie @ Sep 24th 2009 4:06PM

Give me a Buffy Scene It game and I'll be set. Fuck Twilight.

After netting hardcore Nintendo fanboys, the middle aged and elderly, and the casual gamers, Nintendo will complete its ever-tightening grip on humanity by securing the ENTIRETY OF THE FEMALE SEX.

The Wii will reveal it's true, hideous form, fix its nightmare gaze upon us, and we will all be UNDONE.

The Alex @ Sep 24th 2009 4:08PM

Smart move actually, the game will sell well regardless if it's regarded as shovelware.

Be interesting to know if the game will feature questions from just the first movie or the series of 4 books. Also, is this going to be Wii Ware or an actual retail release?

nsdcx @ Sep 24th 2009 5:11PM

The fact that you know there is 4 books is enough reason to downvote you to hell.

Michael T [Planeteer | Power of Mr. T] @ Sep 24th 2009 5:27PM

So... will I get downvoted for being a married, hetero, 30-year-old father of two who not only knows there are four books, but has read them all?

They're crap the same way Dan Brown is crap. At least in book 4, you get a hilariously over-the-top vampire C-section.

The Alex @ Sep 24th 2009 10:38PM

nsdcx, you're an idiot. Just because my knowledge in pop culture exceeds yours shouldn't threaten you, but rather encourage you to do something more with your life then bounce around blogs spouting off retarded comments.

Besides, the best you can achieve is one downvote against me anyways.

Plastic Rat @ Sep 27th 2009 11:08PM

nsdcx is an idiot, I agree.

But I'm still downvoting you.

;)

Markez @ Sep 24th 2009 4:08PM

Oh good lawd, how about some more DLC for Box Office Smash first!?

Solace @ Sep 24th 2009 4:09PM

I liek teh Twilight

ludvig.lindholm.1993 @ Sep 24th 2009 4:11PM

Vampires aren't just sucking blood out of people anymore. They suck money out of 12 y o girls wallets.

=/

Rocks @ Sep 24th 2009 4:10PM

there is no emoticon for how i feel right now.

Vidikron @ Sep 24th 2009 4:16PM

I can't say I'm particularly distressed by a Twilight Scene It game. Isn't that sort of the point of the Scene It series?

Markez @ Sep 24th 2009 4:19PM

I'm fine with it, I just wish they'd first support BoS with more DLC, and secondly, think it'd make more sense with a LotR or Harry Potter series where there's considerably more movie material to draw from.

dantebk @ Sep 24th 2009 4:21PM

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOBODY TELL MY ROOMMATE ABOUT THIS.

TiLoBrown @ Sep 24th 2009 4:23PM

Can I down vote a news post?

Michael T [Planeteer | Power of Mr. T] @ Sep 24th 2009 5:25PM

THAT would be a useful Joystiq feature.

But I'll settle for fixing the commenting system.

Dirty @ Sep 24th 2009 4:23PM

I will be very bad at this game as I never have nor ever will "scene it".

Markez @ Sep 24th 2009 4:34PM

You're gonna miss the illest game of vampire baseball ever then, or football, whatever the hell it was. My girl made me get it off Netflix, it was turrible.

ComicShaman @ Sep 24th 2009 4:36PM

Oh, it depends on how they phrase the questions. For instance, if they asked:

"What's the worst vampire series ever created?"

...you'd answer "Twilight." See? Got one right already. Then they'd ask:

"Who's the most shallow protagonist ever written in a vampire story?"

... and you'd answer "Whats-her-face from Twilight." That's two right already! I think you're good at this game, man.
