Good news from our friends at Knapnok Games!  Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party will be available for download from the Wii U eShop on August 8.  The game is a new take on the Spin the Bottle game from our youth.  The game features several mini-games and requires players to use their imagination to complete each game.  The game is played entirely on the Wii U GamePad so gamers won’t need a TV to enjoy it.  Each participant uses a Wii Remote for various poses and actions.

The game will sell for $8.99 in North America.  Be sure to subscribe to our magazine for our interview with Knapnok Games in our Aug/Sept issue.

July 24th – Copenhagen

Danish KnapNok Games and Swedish Redgrim are proud to announce *August 8th* (August 8th 1.00 pm UTC) as the release date of their collaborative project Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party. This updated version of the classical teen game doesn’t use the TV at all, but pushes the players to sit in a circle around the gamepad and look at each other.

“We have been really inspired by the possibilities of off-screen play the Wii U gives us. Finally we have a console that can put attention to the actions between the players instead of the screen. Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party is our attempt to explore these unique possibilities of the Wii U, players sit in a circle looking at each other doing silly, wacky and embarrassing stuff. This is a game that couldn’t have been developed for any other console and we are super excited to see how the audience will receive it.” Says Lau Korsgaard, Game Designer at KnapNok Games.

To celebrate our release date we have produced a new trailer for the game. A trailer that actually shows gameplay, in contrast to the earlier teasers released for the game.

Lau Korsgaard explains, “The bizarre trailers we have released until now has created such wonderful responses both extreme negative and positive. We have a bunch of followers who love the game but have no idea what is going on, I hope this trailer will shed some light on the idea without letting the fans down.”
