"Wheel" Gets an XBox/PS3/Wii U Release

Who did develop them? Sony?

Well I am in the middle of purchasing an Xbox 360 (upgrading from the Wii). I will probably buy Wheel for it just for the online play if anything. For future reference, my SN is CeruleanAcer89

Oh I won't have to worry about that. I have a 2 year gold membership

Just picked up a copy of the WoF game. Somebody get at me when you wanna play... gamertag was posted earlier.

Awesome! It's not as bad as some people on here made it out to be. I enjoy it. Once you get Live my gamertag is above.

I've played about 10 games so far, and I got the Million wedge in 9 of the games. Made it to the Bonus Round in all of them but couldn't gt the big prize. I'll keep trying.

My discounted copy of the Wii U version arrived today...I've only played one actual game so far, and started a multiplayer game just to test things...

Unlike the Wii version, there are no player profiles. The other versions use your online username for your player name, and since they removed the online, you can only be listed as "Player 1". Apparently, this is the same for Jeopardy!, which means you can't even sign your podium name on the GamePad! What a completely wasted opportunity!

The default avatar system isn't very good, despite being Wii U gamers' only option. You have to scroll through the default avatars and you can only change their hair color, skin color, and outfit. The only thing my avatar and Mii have in common is hair and skin color. It really looks nothing like me...And for multiplayer games, Players 2 and 3 have to stick with only the default avatars. They can't customize them at all.

Despite not being mentioned on the back of the box like it should be, Wii Remotes are required for multiplayer. A single player can play with only a Wii Remote as well. Wii Remote controls are similar to the 2010 game, except you can just press A to spin. If you do choose to spin using motion controls, you don't have to hold down B, but of course, the spin strength just goes by the power meter, not the motion itself. Also, in the old game, you would press 1 to lock in a solve. Now, it's 2, though it is still displayed as "X", which is what the GamePad uses.

In multiplayer games, only one player can use the GamePad. I don't mean one at a time, I mean only one. There's no passing it to other players to make controls easier for them. Whatever controller you choose, you're stuck with.

Oh, and I tried to see if the "round is thrown out if everyone missolves with only vowels left" rule took effect, and it did. The round was skipped over.

The most aggravating thing, being a Wii U game, is that the GamePad plays almost no role. The only benefit from it is that you can select letters and options by tapping them on the screen, making guesses and solves much faster. The image on the GamePad is always the same as the TV's, so naturally, this should mean it's possible to play the game only the GamePad. It technically is, but there's a major problem. All the audio comes only from the TV's speakers, so off-TV play can only be played in silence.

I know THQ was on the verge of bankruptcy, but they and Pipeworks were outright disrespecting Nintendo by not putting any effort into this and removing the best selling point (online), yet suckering people out of $50 for it.


Everyone E-mail Pipeworks at pr@f9e.com and tell them that Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! need online for Wii U! If they get enough demand, they have to add it and make things fair for everyone.

Yeah I noticed that inconsistency to on slower powered spins but with online play it's a little bit harder to determine since there's a slight delay in you pressing A and when the action takes affect.

^PS3 version does not have that mini-game, just the same ones as the Wii version.
