Gamertell spoke with THQ game producer, Adam Affrunti, about the latest Wheel of Fortune game (to be released November 2, 2010, for Wii and DS). Now, before you start groaning and bemoaning this as yet another typical iteration of this most famous of game shows turned video game, you might be surprised to learn that this game has aspects unlike it’s predecessors. And it was almost based on the show’s original format.

Ah, yes, The familiar chant of the audience that begins each show, as well as this game. The clings, the clangs and the weird melodies that accompany each puzzle. So very memorable. From there you can pretty much forget Pat Sajak or Vanna White in this game.

Even so, the iPhone and iPod Touch release of Wheel of Fortune version holds up pretty well, utilizing the touchscreen so you can you actually spin that infamous wheel (I haven’t played all the countless video game releases over the past 20+ years but I’m pretty sure that’s a first.)
