Wii Beer Pong! August 30, 2007
Frat Party Games – Beer Pong has been designed exclusively for WiiWare, with accurate and easy to use controls. Frat Party Games – Beer Pong will feature three different play environments and allow players to choose from multiple tabletops to enhance the playing environment.
“Beer Pong is quickly becoming a worldwide sensation, from high-stakes competitions being held here in Las Vegas to more and more establishments creating Beer Pong environments to attract new customers,” says JV Games VP Jag Jaeger. “Being Beer Pong players ourselves, we realized this is a game niche yet to be filled, and the Wii® is the perfect system to replicate the game. We created a very accurate and realistic throw system. No buttons to time your throw with; just hold the Wii Remote like you would a normal ball and throw.”
Early response has been overwhelming. The Frat Party Games MySpace site (www.myspace.com/fratpartygames) experienced much activity, and staff is having a hard time keeping up with e-mail inquiries. “People are anxious to get their hands on the game,” Jaeger says.
The name of the game has been changed. After concerns were raised about the game promoting drinking and since they never had any drinking in the game, they changed the name from “Beer Pong” to “Pong Toss” to better reflect it’s true contents and cater to a larger audience.

This seems to be more of a Wii Play for grownups. Let’s see how it does.

Fantastic. Another mediocre party game for the Wii. Unoriginal concept, bad premise, and just plain overdone.
Rediculous! I don’t even know what that is, but I’m sure it isn’t a good influence on the younger people out there or even older adults that need to stay away from alcohol. I really hope this is just a bad joke.
Oh, I’ll be drankin’ and this aint no joke! It’s going down on November 5th. I can already see 3 Benefits in Midway making Beer Pong for the Wii:
1.) You can play by yourself (as lame as that sounds)
2.) Play beer pong w/out drinking basement floor bacteria
3.) No more clean up besides a few beer cans!!!!
