Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Coming to Video Games
The greatest show on earth makes its way on the Wii thanks to the joint efforts of 2K Play and Feld Entertainment. It was revealed that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will be taking the excitement of “The Greatest Show on Earth” to the next level by partnering to develop circus-themed video games.
For the first time in the near 140-year history of Ringling Bros., the breathtaking thrills and timeless magic of this storied brand will be coming to the Wii home video game system from Nintendo and Nintendo DS™. The new Ringling Bros. themed games are scheduled to ship this holiday season as 2K Play further extends its portfolio of family friendly video game offerings.
During a recent Ringling Bros. performance at Madison Square Garden, and in celebration of this partnership with 2K Play, a Ringling Bros. high-wire artist took to the air and made a thrilling 25-foot walk across a tightrope while maintaining his balance with only a Wii Remote and Nunchuk in his hands, to the delight of upward-gazing onlookers. It no doubt was a precursor of what to expect in the upcoming video games.
More information on 2K Play’s upcoming games for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will be available at the 2009 E3 Expo in Los Angeles this June.
