"We are excited to add two iconic properties such as Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune to our Kids, Family and Casual Games portfolio," said Doug Clemmer, executive VP, THQ Kids, Family and Casual Games. "The opportunity to implement new features such as Wii Speak will re-imagine how these games are played and engage fans with a whole new level of interactivity."
"Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are extraordinarily popular across the globe and it was important for us to find a partner with an international vision," said Mark Caplan, vice president licensing, Sony Pictures Consumer Products. "THQ's focus and proven success within the family market made them the most logical team to bring these renowned properties to new platforms, and we look forward to working with them to create family-friendly interactive experiences."
The first video games under the agreement will be announced later this year.
