Bing Bing! Bingo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bing Bing! Bingo is a Japanese Bingo game released in 1993 for the Super Famicom. You can play Bingo through a slot machine, while skydiving, and you can even play a game of Bingo with Santa Claus. And there's a special added bonus: There is also an option to play Bingo on a pirate ship. There is also arm wrestling and betting on horse racing modes available in case you don't like Bingo.
A party mode is present for two players. However, the numbers are announced in Japanese rather than English, so knowledge of Japanese numbers is vital for multiplayer action. This game was never scheduled for a North American release, due to the fact that video games over there at that time were made for preteen males and none of them were interested in Bingo.
This was the only Bingo game released for any Nintendo system that played like a real game of Bingo. There was a Bingo-like Game Boy game called Panel Action Bingo which was a puzzle/action game where a bird has to avoid a cat. Even though that game was completely unrelated to Bingo in real life, it was the closest thing that Americans and Canadians got to playing a Bingo video game.
Since there are no plans to release a Bingo game in either North America, Europe, or Japan on the PlayStation 3, this game might be the only escape for people who are willing to open themselves to the Bingo experience.
