Release Date: Nov 5, 2007
Publisher: Midway

Midway on Wednesday pulled back the curtain, just barely, on its two new Wii titles. One is, of course, the next installment in the Cruis'n franchise. The other is the aptly titled Game Party, which is another project clearly inspired by such efforts as Wii Sports and EA Playground.Game Party challenges players to use the Wii remote to partake in minis that revolve around darts, table hockey and hoop shoot, among others. Midway promises "more than a half dozen games" for the final product. In addition, there will be a full-blown trivia mode. The title is scheduled to ship this November.No screens, but we do have first concept art in our media section below.©2007, IGN Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Publisher Midway revealed two new games exclusive to Wii: a fresh entry in the arcade racing franchise Cruis'n and a mini-game compilation called Game Party. Both titles are expected to release this November.

Cruis'n (tentative title) is the third entry in the classic racing series, after Cruis'n USA and Cruis'n the World. According to Midway, the game will feature "an impressive line-up of cars" that can be outfitted with turbos, body kits, neon displays and nitrous boosters, among other upgrades. Players will use the Wii Remote to race their vehicles through 12 street circuits.

Similar to other casually-oriented titles like EA Playground and Wii Sports, Game Party is expected to include more than half a dozen different games, such as darts, table hockey, hoop shoot and trivia. Midway did not mention if the game will support a multiplayer mode.
