GAMING
Endemol and Destination Software
Incorporated (DSI) today announced the release of a video game for the Endemol
franchise “1 vs. 100.” The title will be in-stores in June for the Nintendo DS™
system for $19.99. This is the second collaboration for the two companies, as
DSI published the multi-platform video game release for “Deal or No Deal” in
2007.
The “1 vs. 100” game recreates the
television smash hit while additional modes of play add elements completely
unique to the portable video game. Players can compete against a friend through
a multiplayer challenge in a tense battle of the brains, as one player must
assume the role of “The Mob” of 100 and stop the other from winning. Other
variations include a Poker-style trivia game, where players wager cash based on
their confidence of the answer. The video game will feature “1 vs. 100”
television host Bob Saget.
“We strive to find unique ways to
expand home entertainment and television viewership, and bringing a fantastic TV
game show like ‘1 vs. 100’ to portable video gaming achieves those objectives,”
says Tina Hoover, Director of Production for Endemol USA. “We look forward to
continuing our relationship with DSI as they achieve repeated success with the
family and casual gaming markets.”
“We at DSI are incredibly excited to
continue our partnership with Endemol,” says Steve Newton, Executive Vice
President of DSI. “Bringing this incredibly successful game show to a portable
video game system allows players to enjoy not only the game, but also a library
of challenging trivia questions. ‘1 vs. 100’ is a perfect pick-up-and-play video
game title.”
In both its seasons on air, “1 vs.
100” has consistently been the #1 or #2 rated program in its timeslot, handily
beating tough competition. Also, the show’s ratings consistently increase from
the first half hour to the second, proving that viewers just can’t turn it off
and can’t get enough!
