Carnival Games is coming to the Switch in November
Carnival Games has sold 9.5 million copies worldwide (thanks to the Wii hype for that) and now 2K Games are bringing it to the Switch.
But this isn’t a port, this is an entirely new game built ground up for the Switch. This version of Carnival Games will feature 20 games and support for up to four players.
Like a real-life county fair, Carnival Games allows players of all ages and experience levels to enjoy classic games like ring toss (“Post Master”) and alley ball horse racing (“Roll-R-Derby”), as well as brand new attractions like drone racing (“Light Speed”) and cosmic bowling (“Cosmic Strike”). Four uniquely themed alleys – Jungle Lane, Saturn Station, Vulture Gulch and Nuts & Bolts – provide a different look and feel for the games within them. Players have the chance to win tickets by playing any of the 20 games and redeem them for new games and outfits for their customizable carnival guest characters.
The game is out on November 6th in Australia.
Restricting games like this to only four players, especially when designed with the Switch in mind, sounds really stupid to me, particularly as so many of these activities will have very simplistic controls and not require split-screen.
I would like to see more games supporting 6-8 players, which would make the Switch an even more enticing proposition for families and parties/gatherings.
