Published by 505 Games and developed by Tantalus Media, Funky Barn lets players engage in hands-on farming as they raise and manage animals with quirky personalities, use offbeat farm equipment such as The Shearing Machine and The Egg Collector and manage their open-world farm by balancing a budget, laying down roads, planting trees, protecting the land against natural disasters and more.

The innovative Wii U™ GamePad™ lets gamers shake trees to make fruit fall, map out how to build the farm and interact with the farm animals using the touchscreen and microphone.

Funky Barn has been rated E by the ESRB and is priced at $49.99 for Wii U™.
