Wheel of Fortune (America's Greatest Game Shows) Description:
America's Greatest Game Shows: Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy! was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 7, 2017 and for the Nintendo Switch on October 30, 2018. The games can be purchased together in retail stores for $40 or separately online through the PlayStation Store or Xbox Games Store for $20.
The Wheel of Fortune game is the first to feature the Express wedge and even has an achievement for completing a successful Express run for the first time.
Interestingly, instead of Pat and Vanna, the game has a generic host and hostess, a nod to Sharedata's games for the PC and GameTek's first three games for the NES. This is because Ubisoft refused to give them more money in exchange for their likeness and voices being used in the game; there was also a 2016–17 video game voice actor strike started by the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union against 11 American video game developers and publishers. Jim Thornton is still the announcer, however.
The gameplay is the same as Season 34 with a few differences.
There are no Crossword-themed puzzles.
The Prize wedges and Prize Puzzles are all worth $7,320. The player can choose which Prize wedges and Gift Tags (which are for fictional companies rather than real ones, possibly to avoid Ubisoft paying residual fees) s/he wants on the Wheel.
The car, offered through both the 1/2 Car Tags and the Bonus Round, is valued at $46,840, making it extremely difficult for an opponent to win the main game if a player wins the car via the 1/2 Car Tags.
If a player picks up the Mystery Wedge containing the $10,000 prize, s/he does not give back the $1,000 per consonant that s/he earned.
The Prize Puzzles are not always related to the Prize.
The current music package is used, but the previous solve cue is used when a contestant gets at least $5,000 from calling a correct consonant or picking up the Prize wedge or Gift Tag. A different piece of music is still used whenever the contestant scores less than $5,000 for a correct letter. Casino-style music is played throughout the game.
The Bankrupt slide whistle is used when someone lands on Bankrupt and Lose A Turn, just like the games for the PlayStation 1.
The buzzer used on the show is not used. Instead, a different buzzer is used when a player takes too long to make a decision (although it was also used for an incorrect attempt at solving before an update patch was released). No sound effects are used when a player calls an incorrect letter.
As with the Nintendo DS version, Round 4 always starts as a Speed-Up.
The Million Dollar wedge is not surrendered if the player in possession of it does not solve the puzzle the round it is picked up, but it can still be lost to a Bankrupt.
The music used when a player tries to solve the Bonus Round puzzle is the same one used in the Speed-Up.
