Click the following link, and you'll get a look at the Jakks Pacific Wheel of Fortune TV Game console:

Also, FYI, I spoke to a representative of Hasbro recently, who said she "believes," the WOF Live Play project was scrapped. A lot of the websites, Walmart, and others have removed the item from their online catalogs, so it probably IS TRUE!

Saw this last night in Linens and Things (of all places) for $25. It's not Bed Bath & Beyond, but it's close. The graphics aren't anything to write home about, but actually spinning the wheel is probably the best feature of the game.

[/quote]Did they finally put the Toss-Ups and the $100,000 Bonus Round in this one? The most recent Wheel video game was on PS2, was released I think in 2003, and was minus Toss-Ups and still had the old W-H-E-E-L Bonus Round.

I saw it in Kohl's last night! Either I didn't catch it, or there was no mention at all about Toss-Up puzzles.

It did, however, show the bonus round wheel ("Win $100,000 Cash Bonus," spelled out in wedges ala the show).

Saw it at RadioShack and picked up a copy. It does feature the Mystery and Jackpot rounds, but no toss-ups. As for graphics? Think 8-bit NES...
