Carnival Games (known in Europe and Australia as Carnival Funfair Games) is a video game for Nintendo's Wii home video game console and the Nintendo DS handheld game console. It was the last game published by Global Star Software, before it was absorbed into Take-Two Interactive (and what is now 2K Play).
Despite mixed reviews by most gaming websites and critics, the game was a commercial success. The Wii and DS versions of the game have combined shipped over 7 million copies to date,[1] which according to the NPD Group, is the third best-selling third-party game on the Wii.
As a result of the original's success, a follow-up for the Wii was announced, and launched in the fall of 2008, titled Carnival Games: Mini-Golf.[2] A proper sequel, New Carnival Games, was released on September 21, 2010 for the Wii and Nintendo DS.[3] A new game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, simply called Carnival Games, was released on November 6, 2018
