NWR: "A bucket of water poised menacingly above the door, once triggered, will fall and bathe its target in an icy, unexpected wash of embarrassment. This prank and most others involve elements of surprise and shame. Players who purchase Oops! Prank Party are in for quite the prank, but as you may have guessed, not in the way the developers may have intended."

Whether it's an unconventional story, use of famous characters, or placing twists on the genre itself, anything that can help get a game noticed is always welcome. In the case of the minigame genre on the Wii, though, it almost feels like any and every gimmick out there has already been taken. You can walk into any game store and easily see minigame compilations featuring all types of sports, famous actors and athletes. Just because it feels like the good gimmicks have been taken doesn't mean that every idea is gone, and Hudson proves just that with its latest minigame compilation, Oops! Prank Party. Unfortunately, the gimmick is pretty weak, and so is just about everything else".
Lame, didn't know of this game. Then again I haven't see much ads for the Wii.
3DS yes but not Wii.

When all is said and done, Oops! Prank Party is just ok. While the wide selection of mini games is nice, most of them are too short for the player to sink their teeth into. Playing jokes on your family when you win may be fun, especially if they take the time to create an avatar that resembles them closely. The humour in the game is a bit embarrassing, but the real laughs will come from the people you’re playing with while you enjoy spending time together anyway. This will definitely be overshadowed by superior games in the same genre, but it's at least worth a look at its bargain price.
