Mattel’s Bounce-Off Game Triggers Cuponk! Flashbacks

Anyone out there remember Hasbro’s Cuponk! game (Amazon.com search*) from a few years ago? Ping pong balls, a plastic cup with electronic gizmo, and cards directing the action this was an elaborate and insane version of Bozo’s Grand Prize Game with a twist. And, unfortunately, it didn’t do all that well in the market.

Well, it looks like Mattel is now taking a stab at the “do what it shows on the card and land your ball on a target” angle of gameplay with their new Bounce-Off game. Check the video and then visit the official site for more info.

Or go straight to Amazon.com* and just buy a copy if you’re a fan of this type of dexterity game. Will this succeed where Cuponk! failed? I have no idea. I guess we can watch and see where the game’s at this time next year to figure out just how well it’s performing.
