Activision To Bring Pitfall To Wii

Activision has announced that it will be bringing the latest in its decades old Pitfall franchise to the Nintendo Wii with Pitfall: The Big Adventure, in development by Edge of Reality for a fall 2008 release. Activision says the game will combine "the action of reptile dodging and vine swinging with clever puzzles," and will span some 60 levels of "lush rainforests, creature-filled caves, and glacial mountains." Players will be able to "explore cavernous jungles, discover lost treasures, battle shamen, narrowly escape treacherous traps and outwit creatures," all via the Wii Remote's motion controls. Said Edge of Reality president Binu Philip, “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."
