Electronic Arts continues to hitch a ride on the Wii bandwagon, announcing Hasbro Family Game Night.  The game will feature five classic board games, including Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, and Sorry!  Best of all, the game will be hosted by the one and only Mr. Potato Head.

In addition to playing the traditional versions of the games, players will also get a chance to play newly enhanced versions like Connect Four Power Chips, Battleship Barrage, Reverse Yahtzee and Boggle Portal Cubes, which will feature new rule sets and power-ups.  The game will also allow players to customize their own game room with unlockable furniture, trophies, and other decorations.

EA is clearly going after the casual/family/party market, and as such, are going to be bringing the game to both the NIntendo Wii and the PlayStation 2.  Hasbro Family Game Night will be released in Fall 2008.
