Wii-fied Jenga game in the works?

Jenga for the Wii? - Image 1Well, this brings back childhood memories. There’s an ongoing rumor started by grindamasta over at the NeoGAF forums, and it details the possible release of a Jenga game for the Wii.

Jenga, for the guys who’ve never played it, is a mental challenge game that consists of 54 wooden block (3 times longer than they are wide) stacked in rows of three side-by-side to form one story. Each story is then stacked perpendicular to the one below it, forming an 18-story tower.

The object of this group game is for the players (two participants and above) is to take turns removing one block from the tower, and placing the block on the topmost part of the tower. The game ends when somebody accidentally knocks the whole tower over. The Jenga game is marketed by Hasbro (the dudes behind the Transformers toys), with a similar game being released by UNO (aka UNO Stacko).

That’s all the details we’ve got on this rumored game, although Jenga via Wiimote doesn’t sound too bad, and it’s certainly going to find a home on the Wii alongside other parlor-style games like Mario Party 8 and Wii Play. Keep posted in case this rumor gets updated – hopefully at the upcoming E3 event.
