Four New Games Coming to Apple Arcade, Including Wheel of Fortune

[MacRumors]

Apple today in an emailed press release announced four new games coming to Apple Arcade on November 7, including Wheel of Fortune Daily, which is based on the iconic TV show. The other three games coming next month include Drive Ahead! Carcade, Arkanoid vs Space Invaders+, and Texas Hold'em Poker: Pokerist+.

Developed by Frosty Pop, Wheel of Fortune Daily will be available in Apple Arcade across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. The game features classic Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzles, where the player starts with the letters R, S, T, L, N, and E, chooses three more consonants and a vowel, and attempts to solve the puzzle.

"Wheel of Fortune Daily turns America's Game® into a simple, short, daily experience you can enjoy anytime and anywhere," the game's description says.

Accessible through the App Store, Apple Arcade is a subscription-based service that provides access to hundreds of games, all free of ads and in-app purchases. In the U.S., Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month and is bundled in Apple One plans.

I’m pretty sure that if wheel of fortune was a VR game on Vision Pro, I’d give it a spin. 🤓

My mom will be thrilled about Wheel Of Fortune.

The iPhone is truly a wonderful gaming platform, with such cutting edge games as Assassin's Creed Mirage, Resident Evil Village, and... Wheel of Fortune? 😮

(joking aside, I'm probably going to play it)

"People Who Annoy You" better be in there.

another update to Apple Arcade, another batch of mobile game slop

Meanwhile amazon and epic are giving out free AAA games every month

Is the Wheel of Fortune game a DOS port?

Is the Wheel of Fortune game a DOS port?

Right? The graphics looked better on my 286 back in the mid 90s.

I remember playing this on Miniclip for $0 a month.

Apple Arcade could be a much better service, honestly, especially now that Apple Silicon has such powerful GPUs…

Is the Wheel of Fortune game a DOS port?

Hopefully, that keeps the footprint small. At least I would be willing to sacrifice some eye candy if it meant the game only takes up a few hundred MB, instead of eating up a whopping 1.5 to 3 GB.

Great games for upcoming M4. Is Ray tracing used here?
Apple, your hardware is great. Start working on software.

Does Wheel of Fortune have their hosts available? I'm guessing not since there may be a legal thing, and getting their likeliness could be too costly. Otherwise, it'd be neat to swap between Pat Sajak and Ryan Seacrest. Vanna White is STILL there, so mad props to that!

I had Arkanoid Vs. Space Invaders on my iPad and played it through. It was fun. It ain't no high budget, AAA game, but it still mashes up 2 beloved franchises into an arcade style game that should give AA more value. Having an actual storyline and plot was weird though. My character got "time off" fighting the aliens because I did a pretty good job in a set of levels

I think Maggie will take over soon.

Would be great on the Vis Pro

When Red Reign comes back I’ll resubscribe, but not till then.

How come the only games I want to play on AppleTV are not available for AppleTV? i.e., Vampire Survivors and Arkanoid vs Space Invaders+

My kids and I have been having a great time playing multiplayer games like Crossy Road Castle and Warped Cart Racers. It is great for us.

There's no business sense to make games for apple devices. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-enough-players-on-mac-to-justify-it.2407023/

 

[drumcat]

No, the answer is "Naggers".

 

[sleven]

Wheel of Fortune slaps.

 

[TommyBoy5]

November 7th. Another month to wait for Wheel of Fortune. I hate when AAA games get pushed back because all of the bugs found in Beta testing. Apple probably has a team of twenty engineers working 16-hour days to get this game to us a month late.

 

[ackmondual]

"People Who Annoy You" better be in there.

As much as I dug that, The Simpsons one to me is still king!

 

[svish]

Good to know about the additions to Apple Arcade. Would like to see some good quality games added.

Lacking Vanna White.
