Now for something completely different. Ubisoft has announced that it has partnered with Fremantle Media Enterprises to publish The Price is Right for the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo DS, PC, and Mac this September.

The Price is Right video game is based on the longest running game show in television history, now in its 35th season. Like the contestants on the game show, players will be able to bid on products, play the famous pricing games, and spin the Big Wheel for the chance to win prizes in the Showcase Showdown.

The Price is Right video game will feature a single and multiplayer mode for up to four players. Many of the classic pricing challenges that viewers have known and loved for generations, such as "Plinko,” "Three Strikes,” "Hole in One,” and "Cliffhanger,” will also be in the game.

The Wii version will have specialized controls that allow players to spin the Big Wheel, putt through "Hole In One,” or take a swing at "Punch-A-Bunch.” The voice of announcer Rich Fields, actual sounds and music from the show, and classic video footage will ensure an authentic experience for players.
