Developer Destineer has announced the December 9th release of a Wii version of their Nintendo DS and online puzzle game WordJong Party. Described as a mix of the classic Chinese tile game and the popular western word game, the Wii title looks like it may offer up an innovative blend of both. Part Majong, part Scrabble, WordJong Party, "the smash online and DS puzzle game is coming to the Wii December 9th with all-new multiplayer modes, gorgeous new visuals and more!

"Use a set of lettered tiles to create words and clear the board in both single-player and intense four-player modes. WordJong Party boasts several new features exclusive to the Wii system not found in any other version."

The Destineer press pack brags that "the Wii game "features a 'Party Mode' where you can go head-to-head against three other players (human or AI) in intense splitscreen modes: Turn taking Round Play and real-time Frantic Mode."

The game also features lots of new tiles and great new ways to strategically use them. "'Score Multiplier' and 'Wild Tiles' have been joined by mighty new 'Power-Up Tiles' in Party Mode; use these tiles to help yourself, hinder all players, or target a specific opponent. Use the Wii Remote as a flashlight after being hit with the screen darkening 'Cavern Tile,' and wipe your board clean during a 'Sandstorm Tile' attack.

"The Wii game also features an enhanced solo mode. Daily Mode returns with all new features and themes like ice puzzles, jade puzzles, and more. In Battle Mode you begin the perilous journey up Zodiac Mountain, stopping at sacred Word Temples along the way to test your knowledge against the various Zodiac characters. Be wary though - you may find yourself battling two cunning opponents at the same time!

"Immerse yourself in the world of WordJong with all-new backgrounds, music, and special effects! Expect to see many familiar faces, as well as an mysterious all-new challenger!"
