Review Frat Party Games: Pong Toss (WiiWare)
Is Pong Toss the life of the party, or just another sobering WiiWare experience?
Before we start, it's worth noting that Pong Toss began life as "Beer Pong" but due to worries about references to alcohol, developer JV Games opted for a more family-friendly name and removed all the naughty drinks as well. We're sure Nintendo and the ESRB...

Frat Party Games: Pong Toss News
News EU WiiWare Update: Beer Pong and Snowboard Riot
It had to happen some day. We’d been hoping and praying that it would pass us by; that maybe Nintendo, in its infinite mercy would deem us Europeans likeable enough to avoid such digital garbage, but sadly it wasn’t to be. We’re sorry to report that the lamentable Beer Pong! Frat Party Games – the game that proved that quality and popularity don’t always go hand-in-hand by topping the US WiiWare charts for God knows how long - is now available on the EU WiiWare service.

News Pong Toss Coming To Europe With Added Beer!
Yesterday, the OFLC revealed that Lonpos would be coming to WiiWare in Europe. Today offers a bit more shocking news.
The USK has rated Frat Party Games: Beer Pong. As you might be aware, this was the original title for Pong Toss, but it got changed, because an alcohol themed game upset some people who forgot that the prohibition ended in the 1930??
News USA WiiWare Update: Pong Toss
If the concept of tossing pongs appeals to you then this week’s WiiWare release will probably have you crying tears of ecstasy. Frat Party Games: Pong Toss (previously known as Beer Pong before Nintendo got a bit moody about the connection with alcohol) is a digital representation of the popular college pastime and certainly looks amusing enough, but as always we will reserve judgment until we’ve actually had chance to sit down with a cool six pack and review it – which should be very shortly.

News JV Games Interview - Pong Toss
With the upcoming release of the controversial WiiWare title Frat Party Games - Pong Toss, we thought it would be a good time to get some inside information on the title. We were fortunate enough to catch up with Jag Jaeger, co-founder and VP of JV Games and he was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to do an interview with WiiWare World. Here's what Jag had to tell us in this exclusive interview.
Wiiware World: What gave you the idea to translate this frat party game into a videogame? Jag Jaeger The reasons are many, but...
News Beer Pong Goes Alcohol Free
After coming under fire from groups like the Anti-Drug Coalitions of America last month it seems that Nintendo felt morally obliged to put the pressure on JV Games to change the title of their forthcoming game Frat Party Games - Beer Pong to the less offensive and alcohol free name of Frat Party Games - Pong Toss!
Here a bit of what the Las Vegas...
News Beer Pong Is Evil And Wrong!
When we first brought you the news last month that a game based on Beer Pong would be coming to WiiWare many of you had a good laugh at the stupidity of it all.
Lisa Lombardozzi of the Greater Herndon Community Coalition is not laughing however. In fact she is outraged! Her concern is that this game will encourage kids to play the college drinking...
News Beer Pong - College Drunkeness Is WiiWare Bound
When Nintendo announced WiiWare was going to pave the way for a new and more open world of videogame publishing, we were all fairly happy. After all, we all want to see the little guys of the software world get a fair slice of the pie, right? And WiiWare will undoubtedly open the window for more original and innovative gaming experiences.
Unfortunat...

Now this I gotta see. The real question is..."how much beer do you have to drink before this game becomes fun?"
First Major League Eating, and now this. What will be next?
Beer Pong is a blast. If they're giving you drinking time during the game, this will be awesome- and not anywhere near as messy as the real thing
I doubt this will be released outside the US... fortunately.
I can't wait to go over a 5 year old's house ask him what games he has and the first one he mentions is beer pong
why do they put this stuff on here. i am considering putting my parental control on just so i don't have too see this stuff.
@ strade32- but the people in the video look like they're having fun.
@ Corbie- how many beers does it take to consider buying this?
maybe that's cause they were drunk. and the people making the commercial probably pay well.
I think I agree with strade32.
In fact, the maker's of this game were probably drunk too so they thought of this bad idea in the drunken haze because they thought that since they liked it while they were drunk, and since they thought other people would be drunk, and drunk minds think alike, that the game would sell well because supposedly there would be a lot of drunk people out there wanting to do stupid drunk things.
Whew, that was a mouthful.
BEER PONG!!!!
A college student's dream!
We will drink while playn this game.
That'll defintely happen.
But for all ya peeps who don't play the actual real Beer Pong,
then don't get this.
It aint for you, it's meant for us "Jug Heads".
Rockn.
^Fine, you have fun, but just so you know, you're not having my liver when your's is gone from playin' too much!
This just sounds like a big stinkin load of shovelware. Stay away!!
this seems a bit pointless, now doesn't it? I mean, the premise seems more like a joke born out of sheer drunkedness rather than a premise for an actual game, if you ask me, so they probably aren't going to try too hard to make the game good. Not only that, but it seems like something that would get protested out the stores the moment it hit the shelves. I honestly think they are simply trying to push Nintendo's policies, because no other publisher would ever dream of publishing such a lackluster "idea". At least, that's what I think...
This game seems real pointless major league eating would be way better
I see they at least decided to change their name now, so it's a little less pointless. Still doesn't sound very fun though.
Looking at the video, this game has nothing to do with beer! They were just so drunk at the time that they decided to put the word "beer" in the name of a video game and hope it would sell well to the people who think the word "beer" is funny. Well, they changed the name to "Pong Toss," so now even less copies will be downloaded!
ugh, I feel even less motivated to buy this after watching the video.
@final_starman: "I think I agree with strade32.
In fact, the maker's of this game were probably drunk.......Whew, that was a mouthful."
Only a drunk would use the word "drunk" 7 times in a single sentence
Although getting drunk can be quite entertaining, LOL
This game has less depth than any other game...excpet maybe Ranch.
It just really blows my mind that this is a simulation for throwing balls into cups. Really, I'm sure that for 8 bucks (the price of the download) you could hit up a dollar store and get some plastic cups and balls or something to toss, and play it for real. Unlike MLE (which is way way way more deep than I'd anticipated) this just is way basic seeming.
@Cyclops
People can just be really #%$&ing dumb. Evidence-this game. Its creators. Its players.
Actually, while the game generally sucks..... It can be sorta fun in speed pong mode. However, I kinda commend them having the urge to put out a game targeted for the Adults. This one kinda flopped for the general public, for the 800 points it should have had... more "frat party games" instead of just one, how about 'quarters' when you bounce a quarter into the shot glass, or even some STAIR DIVING! lol (revenge of the nerds reference to the younger folks)
In closing, I think they took a descent idea for adults into a real poor finish, but having said that, sometime when I've had a few too many, I'll reload it and play it with a friend on speed mode, and see if i'm having any more fun that before.
2 out of 10..... (i give a one point increase to it's original 1/10 due to the designers taking time to think of something different and half-way fresh compared to the stuff you can find normally.)
You can't really compare this to Major League Eating, Major is much better than this crap, but why is it selling so good, because people who have been drinking still think it is Beer Pong even though they changed the name, but still, I would rather buy than My Pokemon Ranch. I may even buy some day when I 've got points and there is nothing good out curently and i'm bored with other games.
Wow, this looks like one of the worst wii games ever made on the system
@Lando
Now equal to Midnight Bowling
I'm definitely never going to get this game (if it gets here, that is)
EDIT
It's coming here, alright... * falls off seat* OFLC rated... * cry*
^excuse me, WHATTT?!?!?!?
First it gets universal disgust and they STLL rerelease it!?!?!
Appearently no one is paying attention that this game is totally shovelware! When will the developers wake up and realize we do NOT like it at all!
3.5/5 Broken Wii-motes on the frustration meter





Seemed cool, until I played it. I swear you can sink 10 shots in practice, do the exact same thing and miss the real one. This game gets real old, real fast.
Cost: 800 Worth: 200
