About this game

Players try to answer 15 multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty, with the dollar value for each question increasing all the way up to one million dollars.

If they player is stumped by a question, they may narrow their choices down by using up one of three lifelines - Ask the Audience, Double Dip, and Phone a Friend.
Players can also choose to walk away and retain their winnings.
In single-player mode, the player simply plays as a contestant on the show.
Other aspects of the show, such as answering a question quickly to get selected for the "hot seat" are not recreated.
Lifeline answers are selected by the computer and presented by virtual friends/audience.
The player's total lifetime winnings are tracked in this mode, and the player will try to beat their performance in the previous game, or achieve the highest dollar score they can.
On the Wii, the player can use the direction pad or remote to select one of their four options.
On the DS, the player can use the direction pad or the stylus.
Multiplayer is achieved through a "Party Mode" for up to four players.
All players are asked a question, and each player selects their answer individually.
Those who answer correctly move up the 15-question "money tree." Incorrect answer moves that player down to the previous dollar amount.
The player(s) highest up on the tree wins the game.
Players must create a game profile (contained to Millionaire only) and select an avatar from Ludia's standard designs.
Specific goals outlined in-game will unlock awards and outfits for these avatars.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2010.
