"Video game publisher Zoo Entertainment today announced that Minute to Win It is now available for the Nintendo WiiTM and DS at retailers nationwide. Based on NBC’s newest family-friendly hit game show sensation, players can compete in a series of deceptively difficult 60-second challenges for a shot to win the grand prize of $1,000,000. Minute to Win it is licensed through NBC Universal Television Consumer Products Group."
Michael Futter writes: When motion gaming came to the XBox 360 and Playstation 3, gamers everywhere echoed one fear, “Are we destined for the same shovelware that plagues the Wii?” Unfortunately, it looks like the answer is in the affirmative as Minute to Win It, originally a Wii title, has made its way to the Kinect.
Zoo Entertainment sent out a press release today (October 18, 2011) announcing the availability of Minute to Win It Kinect game for Xbox 360.
From the press release:
''Minute to Win It' utilizes the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to offer controller-less reality gaming fun for the whole family. Run, duck, jump and dive into the action using the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to compete in deceptively difficult 60-second challenges taken right from NBC's hit competitive series, 'Minute To Win It.' Players will be guided by the voice talent and likeness of Guy Fieri as they fight for their chance to win the coveted million-dollar prize."
Zoo Entertainment has finally confirmed that it is releasing a Kinect version of Minute To Win It. The game will be available Fall 2011.
From the press release:
"'Minute to Win It' utilizes the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to offer controller-less reality gaming fun for the whole family. Literally jump into the action with your Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to compete in twenty deceptively difficult 60-second challenges taken right from NBC’s hit competitive series, 'Minute To Win It.' Similar to what is seen on television, 'Minute to Win It' features the likeness of celebrity chef and host Guy Fieri who guides you throughout the game."
LOL!
So this is the easiest way to bundle up garbage mini-games and slap a license on it right? It's like that horrible 101 Mega Mix game for the DS.
