A portion of a Level Up interview with creative director Matt Birch and producer Darren Potter at EA’s Bright Light studio…

LU: How many mini-games are there?

EA: Bright Light is still refining the list of mini-games. Among the ones we played included Get Out of Jail (cut through iron bars as quickly as possible), Hospital Fees (X-ray Mr. Monopoly to find all of his organs) and Ride to Reading (speed around the train tracks without overshooting each of the four train stations). “That’s a favorite around the office,” Birch says

of Ride to Reading. You hold your Wiimote down flat to help the train accelerate as fast as possible. But thereupon as you’re approaching the station, you have to pull it back up to brake. whether you overshoot, soon after you’ve got to go ’round the board again and get to the next station. I guess in a way it’s an homage to Densha De Go! or something like that. We could sit and play that all day.”
