I imagine so. There's hardly any differences between the two consoles.

I imagine it'll be sort of like the same situation as the PSN version of Press Your Luck compared to Wii. It'll fix the glitches but probably end up being pretty much the same game as on Wii The PSN version of Press also had an actual bevy of prizes, fixing one of the major complaints about the Wii game. Both games, at least on 360, will have ... downloadable content This could have a lot of potential. THQ/Pipeworks/whoever could very well go the extra mile, knowing the Wheel fans will like any surprises that happen to turn up. Both are already on my Christmas list. And if they read this forum or the Wiki, they've pretty much got all the tools they need to keep on surprising us.

I'm surprised they didn't add Kinect support, especially seeing that the Wii versions used voice recognition.
If they really do go all out for this, I just might get a PS3 just for this game, but for now it just looks like a fixed/upscaled Wii port. As much as I'd love to play it, I'll just wait for a likely Wii U version sometime in the future.

Should be a good release for the two systems.
(Though I didn't like the condescending response to thread I tried to start on this yesterday; it was an honest mistake by me.)

This is what the Wii U version would probably look like: Just had to have a little fun since the box art design for Wii U games was leaked. Had to fix it. WAY too misleading.

Listings of both games appeared on futureshop.ca with official descriptions...
Wheel:
Jeopardy!:
The way the desscriptions are styled kind of makes me mad. They're basically saying, "If you bought the Wii versions two years ago, check out what we've improved for these big HD versions! Oh, except one thing. They won't be out on Wii." What a middle finger to us Wii-only owners...

Thanks for more info about this new version.
But, I'll tell you. As soon as I see this up at GameStop's site, I'm preordering it ASAP. I wonder if I'll get a bonus for pre-ordering it.
I also heard that the game will be released on October, I believe, 16th. Do you know if that's the case or just a false rumor?
After this, I'm looking forward to the next Wheel of Fortune game. If it's based on season 30 with $650 as a playable value, that will be the second official Wheel of Fortune game I'll know about with such, the first being the SEGA Game Gear version.

LOTS OF NEW INFO, Image spoilers ahead The Wheel game is using the Season 29 rules, germanname. Mark, this is actually dead on.That said, please, I've been noticing too many statements like this one that are merely guesses (even if they're right like this one, say they are guesses or provide a source), but people could take seriously, in turn hurting this site as a bad news source, thereby hurting site reputation. Let's not do that, thanks! In regards to the games, sucks for Wii owners, but since I own both a Wii and PS3, I'm in business. Dylan, you are so going down. I found a crapton of images for both Wheel and J! for the 360 version,notably boxart, podiums, etc. likely the same cover for PS3 (aside from the obvious console change of name). I decided to post the Jeopardy! images since these games are really going to be marketed together, as the real shows are. All images were found from 360sync's page. WOF: Looks like someone's done and won it the America way with cold hard cash! Hmm, someone has the trip given the $350 showing. Notably, 1/2 Car is on the wheel, and we can tell this is S29 alignment. Cool angle here! Thank goodness for a ULB option here. Also, Kori, here's your chance to solve a B+A with one letter showing. Ooo, I know it! Is it BOUTIQUE STORES? Notably, not a BR, since Vanna is standing still, and the Es are not yet revealed. Boxart! This looks very good, too bad the game will be basically outdated before its release. Jeopardy: Well, that score ain't gonna be downplayed, from what it looks like. Looks like P1's name is a font, might we see font select for signage? Gimme my Kristen Script! Where's my car, bon!? Make it true, it's early, or risk being called soft for the rest of your days. Love the category here, not just for the pun, but because of my myth loving. Cake money here, folks. If you don't know it's Posideon, I want you to meet my friend here, Kharon. Boxart again. I think Wheel's is better, this one's kind of cluttered. I would've rather seen Alex behind his podium and the Jeopardy! entrance way behind Alex. Still, as with Pat and Vanna, Alex looks pretty real to life here. Awesome.

Jon, those screenshots have always been up. The same ones can be found at the link at the start of this topic. Also, that Wheel shot has to be from R3 since the prize wedge is now removed for that round and $3500 is there but with no Mystery Wedges.

The Wheel game is using the Season 29 rules, germanname. I know that, and I'm for certain they're not really going to be able to make changes by the release date, but I was talking about what could be in the next Wheel of Fortune game. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

My apologies to you if I upset you in any way, germanname. And Prizes, I will be more careful next time. As for the screenshots, I like those a lot.

After you're done playing with me, you'll wished you hadn't! Oh, and yeah, these pics have been up for weeks. I've seen them on more than one website. I had one of them as my desktop background for awhile...

When I get my PS3 and a copy of the game, you're BOTH going down. I'm the Wheel master around here. Deal with it.

Well 40's a pretty big number for me since I miss a lot of the second half of the season due to tennis. I'm sure that number could be bigger
