Warner Bros. confirms the development of Wii, DS and PlayStation2 adaptations of the 2008 feature film...
Set to arrive in cinemas during 2008, the Wachowski Brothers' re-imagining of Tatsuo Yoshida's anime Speed Racer will be getting the almost obligatory adaptation to consoles, courtesy of Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment.
Focusing on the combative racing between Speed and his rival, the mysterious Racer X, Speed Racer is currently in development for PlayStation2, Wii, and Nintendo DS. WBIE also confirmed that whilst the game will be released on both Nintendo platforms to coincide with the release of the movie in the cinemas, the PS2 version won't be out until its release on DVD.
"Speed Racer is an exceptionally creative property and teamed with the Wachowski brothers' vision it makes for action-packed racing gameplay," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "The game will capture the intensity of the racing in the film to give gamers and movie fans a chance to take the wheel after they experience the film."
"We are very excited about this natural extension from the Speed Racer film to the videogame. Larry and Andy are videogame fans themselves, so they believe that an interactive game is a key component to the entire Speed Racer experience," said film producer Joel Silver.
