Vowing that this is "the game that fans of the Twilight film have been asking for," Scene It? creator Screenlife and video game publisher Konami today announced that they have paired to deliver Wii and Nintendo DS trivia games centered around the sparkly vampire series.

Those looking to be quizzed on the minutiae of commoner Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen's whirlwind teenage romance will be faced with "over 500 multiple choice questions based on movie clips, music and audio from the Twilight movie" on Wii.

"It will be the first time fans will be able to directly interact and challenge each other within the Twilight universe on Wii," observed Konami VP Careen Yapp.

The Wii release of Scene It? Twilight is due "a few weeks" after the "immersive DVD trivia boardgame" Scene It? Twilight Deluxe Edition, which is itself due in October. The Nintendo DS edition, meanwhile, is slated to arrive in early 2010.

Should you hunger (or sparkle) for more details, look no further than below:

A few weeks later, for the first time on Wii, fans will put their knowledge to the test to determine who will be the ultimate TWILIGHT expert. Scene It? Twilight will challenge Wii players' powers of observation, memory and puzzle solving, as it transports them to Forks, WA and creates an interactive multiplayer trivia experience brought together seamlessly on Wii. Fans can learn more about Bella Swan, TWILIGHT's heroine or test their memories on Edward Cullen, the dark and unlikely love of Bella's life.

Scene It? Twilight for Wii features will include:

  • Rich-media trivia content: Over 500 multiple choice questions based on movie clips, music and audio from the TWILIGHT movie.
  • New user interface: The new Scene It? Twilight Wii version presents a new look and feel, giving fans a great reason to play both the Wii and the DVD boardgame versions.
  • Motion functionality: Use your Wii Remote to buzz in and beat your opponent!
  • New gameplay modes: Single and multi-player modes and new scoring systems keep the game close, exciting and challenging enough to please all TWILIGHT fans.

"Konami is always looking to engage people in new means of interactive gaming experiences. The TWILIGHT film has an incredibly popular following who crave content and new media well after the movies are no longer in theaters," said Kazumi Kitaue, Chairman and President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "With extensive content from the film, Scene It? Twilight will bring life to the excitement and energy surrounding the popular film in an all-new way."

And, just for kicks, here's a look at the "immersive DVD trivia boardgame" edition:
  • TWILIGHT content: On-screen puzzles, movie clips, sound bytes, music and trivia questions pulled directly from the very successful first TWILIGHT film.
  • All-new puzzle types: Puzzles including "Alice's Vision" and "Locker Picks," sure to satisfy both Team Edward and Team Jacob fans around the world.
  • Bonus features and activities: Bonus activities like "Which Cullen are You?", and an exclusive downloadable bonus feature for hardcore fans, which provides all the planning elements for hosting the ideal TWILIGHT-themed party.
