TNE: "While I can ramble on about how each mini-game is unbalanced in this way, or too difficult in that way, it would serve to misinterpret the game. Bumpie’s Party is not supposed to be taken seriously but only meant to have fun with. It’s more like a game of Charades or Pictionary rather than an actual video game. Some objects in Pictionary are impossible to draw or some actions in Charades are so bizarre that acting them out is a hefty challenge, and that’s where Spin the Bottle lands. Non-gamers will have a blast while the only people complaining will be the more jaded folks in the room. It would be nice to have more than 17 games so the night could go on longer without seeing the same games over again, but other than that I think it fits perfectly into any “game night” with friends or family. It truly is a unique party game that simultaneously demonstrates how to use the Wii U in interesting ways and shows that the mini-game genre can be fresh once again. It may not be the best video game around, but it’s essentially perfect as a fun tool with friends
It truly is a game whose rating depends entirely on the situation of the player, so with that in mind, the final score is solely based on my experience with it."
The download update for Europe is in, as always, and this week brings a range of retail titles and promotions, with the Wii U benefiting from a double promotional dose of puzzle gaming.
As is now the regular routine, European Nintendo Download fans can kick off the week with an early look at what's to come in Thursday's update. The upcoming week does only feature one new game, rounding off a quiet January for the eShop platforms, but does also include a series of tempting discounts on retail and download-only games.
If you usually have a few drinks with friends at home know the importance of a good "drinking game". Spin The Bottle: bumpie's Party is not exactly that, but it is not far from that idea. It should be noted that this title is like Singstar and Rockband, ie, a game that makes little sense to play alone, but even more impossible even social player playing alone. Obviously there is no physical barrier that makes it impossible but when they have to do that may be considered the ultimate "forever alone."
This and the wonderful 101, are the type of original games that are going to make the wii u stand out, not just the same old same old, I am really looking forward to this game, bring this to an office party, and this could be like the new wii sports, not as big, but just as fun!!
