0Jeopardy — Wii U / Wii (U.S. Nordic Games version)
Overview
A digital version of the classic TV quiz show, letting you play “Jeopardy!” at home. The game faithfully recreates the iconic board, clue style, and host voice, so it feels like you’re on the real set.

Wii U: Use the GamePad (buzz‑in button, on‑screen keyboard or USB keyboard) or a Pro Controller. The board is displayed on the TV; the GamePad can show the board or a personal “buzzer” view.
Wii: Wii Remote for buzzing; the board appears on the TV.
Clue library – Over 2,000 clues pulled from the real Jeopardy archive plus fresh, original material. Several “game packs” (theme packs, “Kids” categories, seasonal sets) are included, and extra downloadable clue packs keep it fresh.
Customization – Create your own contestants, pick avatars, adjust wagering, “Daily Double” frequency, and a “Tournament” mode to chase high scores and a Hall of Fame.
Presentation – Full‑screen TV set, authentic set design, classic theme music, “thinking” music, and the familiar host voice (Alex Trebek/standard U.S. host). The UI mirrors the TV show, with the $200 → $400 → … values.
Rating – PEGI 3 / ESRB E (suitable for all ages).
U.S. Nordic Games release specifics
Region: This is the U.S. (NTSC) version released by Nordic Games. It’s not a PAL “green‑triangle” product; it’s built for the U.S. market, so it runs on NTSC Wii U / Wii systems and carries the U.S. rating, box art, and English language.
Packaging & branding: The box features the “Jeopardy!” logo, Nordic Games logo, and the standard U.S. artwork. Because it’s the U.S. version, there’s no green triangle — that triangle is only on the PAL/UK/EU green‑triangle releases. Nordic Games’ involvement means the title may have a slightly different “Nordic Games” badge, but the core game is the same Jeopardy experience you’d get in the regular U.S. release.
Language: Primarily English, with the original host voice. No extra European language options (unlike some PAL builds); the version is geared for the U.S. audience.
