Funky Barn - Wii U trailer

Funky Barn 3D is a quirky farm-simulation game that was released earlier this year on the 3DS. Nintendo has listed Funky Barn as a Wii U launch window title and while there hasn't been much information at all about the game, it appears to be a port of the 3DS version with some slightly enhanced graphics. Seeing as how the GamePad essentially turns your TV into a giant version of Nintendo's handheld, we will probably see a lot more 3DS games make their way to the new console.

Developer 505 Games has released a trailer for the Wii U version of Funky Barn, and you can find it after the break. Seeing as how popular YouTube channel Classic Game Room reviewed the 3DS version earlier this year, I figured I'd include that video as well for comparison's sake. Wii U trailer and 3DS video review after the break.

Publisher THQ has revealed the box art for the Wii U versions of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. Seeing as how these two shows have been on TV for decades they really need no introduction. You can see the box art in HD after the break.

Funky Barn 3D is a quirky farm-simulation game that was released earlier this year on the 3DS. Nintendo has listed Funky Barn for the Wii U and while there hasn't been any solid info on the game, I think it's safe to assume that it's a port of the 3DS title with enhanced graphics. Seeing as how the GamePad pretty much turns your TV into a giant version of Nintendo's handheld, it seems like a good fit.

Popular YouTube channel Classic Game Room reviewed the game earlier this year and, surprisingly, they recommended it. I thought it looked like shovelware to be honest, and the reviewer thought so too, but apparently it has some redeeming values. Video review after the break.

Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune confirmed for Wii U

Confirmed.

We recently reported that Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune appeared on an alleged list of Wii U games in development, and now it appears that they are, in fact, coming to Nintendo's new console. The ESRB has rated both titles, and their ratings pages list the Wii U as one of the platforms they will appear on. This should be welcome news to game show fans.

Wii U may be getting three more casual games, including Jeopardy!

The Wii was inundated with casual games, much to the chagrin of many gamers. A NeoGAF user recently posted a list of Wii U games he got from a "distribution channel for video games," and three of the titles are anything but "hardcore." The first is Jeopardy!, another video game iteration of the long-running game show, and the second is Wheel of Fortune, another old favorite. These two might turn out okay as there have been some decent versions of both in the past, but the third game is another story. Said third game is Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade, yet another entry in the Family Party series. None of the previous games have a full Wikipedia entry, which should give you some idea of how unpopular the series is. This latest one is yet another mini-game compilation. Translation: shovelware.

Since Jeopardy! is one of the topics of this post, I thought I'd give our readers something to think about. The Wii U's CPU features "the same processor technology found in Watson," the supercomputer that recently beat the grandmasters of Jeopardy! Now it appears the console will be getting a version of the very game that made Watson famous. Interesting.
