It doesn’t actually impact the games either way, but it did seem to foreshadow the disjointed nature of this compilation. On one hand, it does make for easier access when you just want to play one game or the other, on the other hand, it does make flipping through the two games a slight bit more time consuming. Of all the physical releases I’ve played on Switch, I’ve never once seen a compilation do this before. Rather than accessing the two games from one, in-game menu, placing the cartridge inside the system prompts icons for both Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy to jump on to the Home screen. Right from the start, America’s Greatest Game Shows proves to be a rather unique cart. While it’s not a perfect compilation, it does prove to be the kind of innocent outing families can be happy to have around the house.
America’s Greatest Game Shows brings together Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy in one Switch cartridge.
Regardless, the game found its way into our collection and it did prove to be a fun, occasional distraction. Maybe it was on deep discount, or maybe mom just thought it would be something innocent she could get my sister and me to play together. It wasn’t something either of us had asked for on that particular shopping trip, and it wasn’t a show that regularly aired in our household. When I was a kid, my mom bought my sister and me a copy of Wheel of Fortune on N64.
