Beer Pong - Image 1Making the jump from college drinking game to the Nintendo WiiWare service is Beer Pong. The game is slated for a June 2008 WiiWare release under the title Frat Party Games - Beer Pong. This will be the first release in JV Games' Frat Party Games series.

The game will feature two competitive modes. There's the traditional tournament-style game for one to four players and then there's Speed Pong, where two to three players compete at the same time to be the first to eliminate all of his or her cups.

There will be three different play environments. Players will also be able to choose from multiple tabletops.

Frat Party Games - Beer Pong will use the Wiimote's motion-sensing features to simulate the drinking game's ball-throwing gameplay. "No buttons to time your throw with," said JV Games VP Jag Jaeger, "just hold the Wii Remote like you would a normal ball and throw".

If you have a knack for aiming, taunting, and sexual gestures - these are the skills you need for Beer Pong according to Wikipedia by the way, minus the alcohol tolerance requirement, of course - you might want to check this game out.

Even do this is a step forward in Mature aimed Wii Games, this one is quite stupid because the MAIN REASON to play beer pong is THE BEER. No Beer No Fun.

Still, its a less messy way of playing... all you need is your one solo cup and this is great for dorm rooms that can't afford a ping pong table, LOL
