Activision confirms the return of Pitfall with a new adventure shaping up exclusively on Wii...
Marking a return to one of its older brands, Activision today announced Pitfall: The Big Adventure exclusively for Wii.
Set in the Peruvian jungle, Pitfall: The Big Adventure promises to bring the brand to an entirely new audience. Featuring over 60 levels spanning lush rainforests, creature-filled caves, and glacial mountains, the game offers the action of reptile dodging and vine-swinging with the Wii Remote along with plenty of puzzles.
"Pitfall is one of the most legendary franchises in the history of videogames, so we look forward to releasing a new version exclusively for Wii," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "What could be more fun than using the Wii Remote(tm) to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?!"
"Wii is a natural and perfect fit for a Pitfall game, and it's been fantastic to revolutionize this classic franchise through the application of the innovative Wii game mechanics. It's a completely new experience for the gamer," said Binu Philip, President, Edge of Reality.
