2K Play is ready to introduce you to New Carnival Games this fall on Wii and DS. Sure, the "new" portion of the title is a bit of a misnomer, considering the game features 30 classic carny activities such as "Fish Bowl Bounce," "Bumper Cars" and a "Haunted House," but a title like Even More Carnival Games For 2K to Bank On came across as a little cynical.
New Carnival Games will support the Wii MotionPlus for numerous activities, including "Lucky Toss, Gone Fishin' and Speed Bingo." The game also has over 300 carnival "prizes" to collect like "Moon Rocks, Eye-Bots, Decoder Rings and Wacky Wearables." It's the sort of clean, insulated carnival your whole family can visit without fear of picking up someone's disease from a grimy ball.

Could be a fun party game. Would consider renting this.

I have the first one, and my kids like it just fine, but I hate it with every part of my body. It's like the games was designed by Captain James S. Mediocrity of the S.S. Shovelware.and his merry crew of disinterested men. Shameful, really.
And it sold millions upon millions. Disgusting.

Oh I can not wait, the reason I got a Wii wasn't for that stupid Zelda game thats coming out in the next year or so ...or even the Metroid games... but it was in anticipation that they would lavish me with a second carnival games as I to my utter dismay missed out on the first one.
Tho I might just hold out until Carnival games 3: Circus of loading screens

It's one of the sadder examples of Wii games whose success was badly misread. Among Wii's vast pit of shovelware party games, its probably one of the better made (though that doesn't say much), but the prime virtue it seems to hold was that it delivered what it promised, and in a straightforward way. No gimmicks, just Carnival games
The problem is 2K themselves misinterpreted it, and then shoveled out pointless sequels, thus.

Don't they get the hint? They sold like 300 in the last game. Why the hell would they make a sequel?
