Carnival Games (Wii) — Rigged Fun Without the Splinters

Carnival Games turns the living room into a midway where nobody checks permits and every booth is yelling at you. Ring toss, skee-ball, milk jugs, test-your-strength—flick the Wii Remote, pray to the physics goblin, and cash out tickets for ridiculous prizes that make you question your life choices. It’s fast, goofy, and perfect for roasting friends between rounds. If you’re stocking a Wii shelf and here to buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, this is the zero-prep party pick that somehow keeps starting “best-of-three” wars.

Online note: no online features—everything is offline/local multiplayer.
