The newest party game to hit the Wii U is right around the corner and it’s sure to get you moving.

Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party from KnapNok Games will be released in the Nintendo Wii U eShop next Thursday August 8th and looks like it will be at the centre of fun and attention once it does.

Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party is a party game for Wii U supporting up to eight players. The game pushes the players’ attention away from the screen and onto each other with a series of collaborative micro challenges where players have to look at each other in order to win. The players sit in a circle around the Wii U GamePad and spin a virtual bottle in order to pair up two random players to take a challenge. The challenges are carried out with Wii Remotes and might involve tight coordination, daring trust, body contact or extreme flexibility.

Donkey Kong, the classic Nintendo arcade hit from way back in the NES days is making its way back to Nintendo … again. The original NES version of Donkey Kong will be making its way onto the 3DS Virtual Console on August 15th.

An iteration of the game was released previously on the 3DS as a special promotion between October 1st, 2012 and January 6, 2013 for those who purchased select games before the end date. The game wasn’t available as a stand alone game.

This is the third time that the game has been released virtually. It was first released for the Wii Virtual Console as a VC launch title on November 19th, 2006 for 500 points. It was then released again on the Wii U Virtual Console title just a few weeks ago on July 15th at a special price of just 30 cents.
