Kemco's Top Gear racing brand is set to make its debut on Nintendo DS later this year thanks to a continuation of the company's relationship with Australian developers Tantalus, the studio responsible for bringing Top Gear Rally to GameBoy Adavance in 2003.
The developer, which recently produced the PSP title MX vs. ATV Unleashed: On The Edge for THQ, confirm that Top Gear: Downforce will be a top down racer with wireless multiplayer gamemodes and the ability for players to add hazards to the tracks with the DS stylus.
Tantalus CEO Tom Crago said, "We loved the original Top Gear on N64, and of course our rally title on GBA was a big success. This time around we're attempting something completely different. We want to create a racing game that feels perfectly at home on the DS platform, something built from the ground up to exploit the cool features of the hardware."
Kemco President Masakatsu Hirose commented, "Top Gear Rally on GBA rates among Kemco's most successful releases. Many people enjoyed this title, and we know that with Tantalus we can create a new game within the franchise that will be just as popular."
We'll have more on Top Gear: Downforce shortly...
