Up to four players, represented by Miis, compete against each other in a three, six or nine round trivia contest. The 3000 trivia questions cover a wide range of subjects, ranging from geography and general knowledge to pop culture, with a number of region specific questions. Players are given timed multiple choice answers, with players selecting their answers on their screen with the Wii Remote, with the fastest lock-ins with the correct answer resulting in bigger prize money. Players can also take their chances for greater rewards by spinning a wheel with both good and bad outcomes after each round. At the end of the last round, the two highest scoring players are pitted against each other in the Final Duel to determine the winner. In the Final Duel, the two finalists are asked questions, each one worth one point. Points are awarded for correct answers. If both contestants answer the same question correctly, the point is awarded to whichever player locked in with the correct answer the fastest. The first contestant to win five points is declared the winner, and half of the runner-up's money is added to the amount the winner had before the Final Duel. In addition to the main game, a shorter quiz called "Quiz Attack" is also available for solo players. Read less

TV Show King (2008) reviewed by the Well-Red Mage

“I’m sorry… I don’t speak Japanese.” -Chris Farley, SNL

“I’m sorry… I don’t speak Japanese.” -Chris Farley, SNL

Remember when everyone had a Nintendo Wii? Sure you do. There’s no point in lying about it. We’ve all moved on from that relationship, but every house had one. Even grandma had one, under the pretense that it was for the grandkids when they came to visit. I’ll bet she played No More Heroes when the fam wasn’t around.

Everyone wants to just pretend like it never happened. We were all under the spell of motion controls but the inevitable breakup was one of the best things to ever happen to us. And now there’s a review like this to remind you about that bad romance!

TV Show King is a game show video game for up to four players, represented by your Miis. Beyond being a great game to show off your Michael Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger Miis, this game is fun to just toss on the tele on a whim and play a few rounds with your intellectual friends after the party dies down.

It originally released as digitally downloadable WiiWare, though it’s also available on iPhone and PS3 for those who couldn’t move on. As for the Wii version, Nintendo’s all-white step into irrelevance was built on the backs of party games, emphasizing simplistic multiplayer with its skittish controls. TV Show King was no exception.
