Lightwood Games confirms release date for Word Party on Wii U
October 26th, in the year of our Lord 2015
-- Stoke-on-Trent, UK – Lightwood Games is excited to announce
their next game will be available soon on the Nintendo eShop on
Wii U. "Word Party" is scheduled for release on 12th November
2015. Word Party is a multiplayer mini-game extravaganza
featuring dozens of different word puzzles. Up to five players
battle it out in a frenzy of word games, featuring a combination
of classic puzzles and brand new games.
Mini-games include:
• Whack-A-Vowel: see who can hit words that contain the letter
shown the quickest.
• Spelling Bee: add the letter “B” to bees flying across the
screen to make words.
• Space Blaster: use retro-style spaceships to destroy the extra
letters in a block of text to leave behind a story.
• Word Factory: build robots that spell six-letter words, using
two letters each on their head, body and feet.
There’s even a game with a Piñata, where you use candy letters
to make words. Keep hitting the piñata to get more letters, but
the more you hit it, the lower your score multiplier will be!
These, and more original games, sit alongside unique multiplayer
versions of classic puzzles like Word Search, Word Wheel,
Crosswords and Anagrams. Word Party is suitable for all ages
and, using the Wii U™ GamePad and up to four Wii Remote
controllers, the whole family can play!
Word Party will be available on the Nintendo eShop in US and
Europe priced $15.99 / €12.79 / £11.99 until November 26th. The
regular price is $19.99 / €15.99 / £14.99.
A free downloadable demo is also available.
