2K has announced the release of It’s My Birthday!, a new Wii game designed to feature all the fun of a children’s birthday party, but none of the cost.

Priced £19.99, It’s My Birthday! promises to save parents as much as £2,014.23 over a seven year period (6-12 year olds) – assuming each party costs between £268.57 and £358.35 for a party of 12.

It’s My Birthday! includes party invitations, banners and colouring sheets in the box, along with a special crown for the birthday boy or girl.

“It’s My Birthday! is a fantastic alternative to expensive organised events,” says Simon Turner, UK Marketing Manager, 2K Play. “Providing all the fun of a traditional birthday party, it’s a brilliant way to entertain your children and their friends without the huge expense of hiring an entertainer or booking a venue.”

Turner added: “This £19.99 game can act as the centrepiece to any child’s birthday, offering superb value for money during these tough economic times. Of course, it’s not just a case of sitting children in front of a screen – thanks to the unique motion-sensing capabilities of the Nintendo Wii, children will be actively taking part in digital recreations of classic party games, brilliantly designed and hugely entertaining.”

Up to 12 children will be able to take part in the birthday celebrations, with classics including pin the tail on the donkey, sack race, musical chairs and 17 other traditional birthday games all modernised for Wii.

Handily It’s My Birthday! will also include on-screen lyrics when it comes to singing “Happy Birthday”, encouraging everyone to join in.

It’s My Birthday! is out now for Wii.
