New Interactive Video Game Challenges Players with Four Decades of Survey Questions

SAN FRANCISCO – August 10, 2010 – Ubisoft revealed today that it will be publishing Family Feud® Decades, an interactive video game that challenges players with thousands of authentic survey questions from four different eras: 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. Created by Ludia and licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises, Family Feud® Decades will be released November 9, 2010 in North America for the Wii™ system from Nintendo.

Similar to the Emmy Award–winning game show, which will launch its 12th season in national syndication with new host Steve Harvey the week of September 13th (check local listings), Family Feud Decades pits two families against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to survey-type questions posed to 100 people. Players will be challenged to answer questions from various decades correctly. The game has a fun, retro feel, featuring the classic set designs and scoreboards from each of the decades the TV show has aired. Additionally, players design a personal avatar to represent them in the game, with hilarious outfits from different eras including hippie, disco, grunge and more.

“Family Feud Decades is a fun game to play in a group setting. Players will get a chance to practice their trivia knowledge from recent decades in an engaging and entertaining way,” stated Adam Novickas, U.S. director of marketing at Ubisoft. “It’s the perfect game for the entire family as the questions represent information from a wide range of generations, and it’s a great opportunity for parents to educate their children on events that may have happened before their time.”

Update: Official PR here.

Rumors of a gold-colored Classic Controller Pro have surfaced a number of times, even before GoldenEye 007 was officially announced by Activision. Today, however, the company finally confirmed that it’s the real deal. For $69.99, consumers will be able to purchase a bundle, which will include a copy of GoldenEye 007 and the controller. A stand-alone release of the game itself will also be sold for $49.99, the typical price of Wii titles.

Nintendo’s internal sales figures show that the Wii™ video game system has now sold 30 million units in the United States alone. This significant milestone was reached in just 45 months. This further establishes Wii as the fastest-selling console in the history of the industry, reaching this milestone 15 months faster than the next best-selling console.

Wii launched in November 2006 and ushered in a new era of video games. The built-in motion controls of the iconic Wii Remote™ controller drew millions of new players to the world of video games. Kids started playing with their parents and grandparents, people got up off the couch and got active, and seniors and baby boomers formed virtual bowling leagues.
