Atari has confirmed that it's indeed working on a video game version of the block game Jenga for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS. Using the innovative controls of the two platforms, players are expected to experience the same thrills and spills that the real game has to offer.

If you're not familiar with the game, Jenga has players building a tower of wooden blocks at the start. When the tower is standing firm and complete, the players take turns removing one block at a time.

As the tower loses blocks, players must be ever more careful not to allow the whole thing to fall. If it crashes, you lose. Pokonobe Associates' Paul Eveloff added:

We are very pleased that Atari is now bringing Jenga’s universal entertainment appeal to video gamers worldwide. This new platform will extend the opportunity to play Jenga to video gamers and generate exceptional new play experiences. Atari’s Jenga for the Nintendo DS and Wii takes the Edge-of-Your-Seat Fun and party game style brilliantly to video game players of all skill levels!
