New Deal or No Deal game for the Wii

A new Deal or No Deal video game is to be released for the Nintendo Wii.

The game, which follows the launch of a Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance title for the hit television show last year, will include new modes and mini-games such as Million Dollar Mission and Double or Nothing.

Making use of the console’s simple point-and-click controls, the game will follow the format of the programme while players will also be able to create customisable Mii characters to use as contestants.

"This updated video game version of the wildly popular TV show, will be the perfect vehicle for at-home fun with family and friends," remarked Steve Newton, executive vice-president of Zoo Games, which has developed the new game.

Meanwhile, Scholastic Interactive has announced it is to release a video game based on the Goosebumps franchise.

Goosebumps HorrorLand, which will be available on the Wii, Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2, is set in an amusement park with more than 30 "bone-chilling" rides and attractions, the company said.
