As much as you and I might think that Beer Pong – Frat Party Games is a brilliant idea for a WiiWare title, others disagree. One of those wet blankets is Connecticut’s attorney general Richard Blumenthal, who thinks that the Teen rating from the ESRB wasn’t the smartest move in the world. I might disagree, as kids should learn early that binge drinking is a fantastic way to kill a Thursday night/millions of brain cells/possibly the passenger’s of the vehicle you’re driving.
Just saw a press release. For Beer Pong. On WiiWare. It’s real. Seems JV Games have determined that it’s “a game niche yet to be filled”, and that “the Wii is the perfect system to replicate the game”. There’ll be four-player multiplayer, including three-player “Speed Pong”, and there’ll be no buttons, you just swing with the Wii Remote. Best of all, Beer Pong is but the first in a series of games to be released by JV under the “Frat Party Games” label, meaning Frat Party Games: Stomach Pump and Frat Party Games: Date Rape shouldn’t be too far behind.
