Survivor coming to Wii and DS
Redmond, WA (December 10, in the year of our Lord 2010) – VALCON GAMES is bringing Survivor, the hit reality TV series on CBS, to the Wii system and Nintendo DS family of hand-held systems.
The Survivor game, licensed from CBS Consumer Products, is now available in stores nationwide. It is the first-ever Survivor-branded game for the Nintendo Wii and DS systems.
In the Wii version of Survivor, up to 4 players compete for survival in 24 island challenges straight out of the TV show. Featuring the voice of the Survivor host Jeff Probst, Survivor has 16 playable characters, who separate into two tribes – Tribe Jalapao or Tribe Timbira. Supporting the Wii Balance Board™ accessory, this game can get truly physical as each player fights for their tribe’s honor. It will take a lot to conquer this island and become the sole survivor.
Survivor on the Nintendo DS system drops players on an untamed island and pits them against a diverse cast of characters, who each have their own story and motivation. Just like in the TV version, players forage for a variety of resources to feed the tribe and build shelter. There is only one survivor in this game, though, and to be the last player standing players will need to use their political savvy to know who to align with, whose side to be on during an argument and who to win over with favors. Players can choose to go it alone or compete against a friend via wireless DS multi-card play.
“Survivor is a household name around the world, and we are excited to bring the video game versions of this popular CBS show to North America.” said Glenn Halseth, CEO of Valcon Games. “Survivor developer Mindscape has really captured the essence of the show in these games, and we are thrilled to be their partners.”
