i.imgur.com/zGXxw.jpgSAME! I tried to read it on Wikipedia, but the way it was worded sounds a little confusing to me. Is the Wii U version playable on the Wii?

WiiU games are not playable on the original Wii.

Only question on my mind is how are WiiU users going to spin the wheel? Looks like we'll have to wait & see once the new game system & the WiiU versions of JEOPARDY! & Wheel Of Fortune have been released.

I would assume "with the Wiimote". They do work on the WiiU, after all. |

Or by stroking the Wheel on the Gamepad's touchscreen.

It's probably going to be another power meter and you have to swipe the screen to stop the meter, just like the Wii.

Having it come out for the Wii U sure is something. I'm sure they're going to have support with the remote used for the Wii U.
Now although I read there will be no Kinect support for the 360 version (which would have obviously been really nice), does anyone know if the PS3 version will have support for the Playstation Move controller?

Probably not, because the cover art would have mentioned it otherwise.

A big "Uh-oh" for people like me who were planning on getting the Wii U versions... The games are now listed on nintendo.com with more screenshots (from the 360 version) and the same descriptions as the ones from futureshop.ca... but with the online references removed!  They're making it seem like nothing more than an HD port of the Wii versions with the 1/2 Car tags and current set added and nothing else. Not even any mention of Mii support this time... However, the ESRB website mentions online features for ALL versions. I'll have to get a final verdict on this before I make any comments to THQ/Pipeworks... |

They're also doing the exact same thing for the WiiU version of JEOPARDY!, as well!

Well, I imagine either way that the online on Jeopardy! will be full of cheaters ringing in instantly and looking up the answers on their computer or smartphone as fast as they can. Still a disappointment if this is true, though.

Another update: according to fye.com, the Wii U versions will retail for $49.99 while the PS3/360 versions will be only $29.99 (the same MSRP of the Wii/DS versions when they launched). If this is the case, Pipeworks better not give us the short end of the stick.

I think this is also available for pre-order because according to Amazon, they have their Xbox 360 game listed and available for pre-order. So only a month away 'til this game comes out! ;D

The official Wii U box arts are here...No "Nintendo Network" logo, but check out the bottom-left corner! There WILL be online features! ;D   Also, Jeopardy will have a ToC mode and a sample contestant exam. |

It looks like the definitive description for the Wii U version of Wheel has finally surfaced, and it seems we won't be left out of any features. Start putting the Wii U on your Christmas list!  Couldn't find the Jeopardy! one yet. Will post as soon as I find it. |
