Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages, 2K Play and Feld Entertainment today proudly announce that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & BaileyTM, the ultimate circus experience for Wii, is now available at retailers across North America. This holiday season, Ringling Bros.® circus fans can get into the act and perform jaw-dropping stunts, breath-taking acrobatics and even "clown around" under the Big Top with their family and friends. For players out and about who are looking for circus fun, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Circus Friends Asian Elephants is now available for Nintendo DS.
CSM writes: "In Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Friends: Asian Elephants, you are in charge of training one of the circus's famed pachyderms. You will interact with the animal by feeding it, playing with it, washing it, healing it (when sick), and yes, scooping its poop. Then you will train your happy elephant to perform various stunts and take your well-practiced show in front of the big top audience. Strangely, tricks are learned and performed by playing completely random logic, matching, and number games on the touch screen."
CSM writes: "In order to become a star of one of the Big Top shows in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, you first need to spend a lot of time testing your skills at dozens of different acts on the back lot. Only after you've gained certification in enough different acts will a spot in the "Greatest Show on Earth" open up for you. Acts include all the classics you'd expect (tightrope walking, trapeze, clown pie fights, animal training, etc.), plus a few more surprising ones (a singing dog chorus and clown bowling, for example). Along the way, you'll earn Barnum Bucks, which you can use to purchase new costume pieces or random circus-related prizes (balloons, cotton candy, etc.) that don't seem to serve any purpose once bought."
