Club Penguin: Game Day! is a Club Penguin video game for the Nintendo Wii, and the third overall Club Penguin video game. It was first rated on the ESRB site in April 2010[1] and officially announced on June 10, 2010.
Players can create and customize their own penguins to compete in conquering the island. Up to 4 players can play new games including Java Jump, Bean Balance, Fast Freeze, Sled & Slide, and Sumo Smash. Players could achieve 14 different stamps, earn coins, and buy 24 different items for their online account, prior to 2014.
The game and its rating were first found on the ESRB site on April 2010, but it was taken down before May since the game was not announced at that time. The descriptor was put up again on July 2010.
Club Penguin has always maintained a really strong emphasis on social, family fun and the value of working together. Moving onto the Wii platform lets us offer parents a great opportunity to connect with their kids in the comfort of their own living room around an active game that’s participatory, cooperative and a lot of fun for everyone, and that’s something we’re really excited about[2]
