Pitfall on the Wii!

[CockroachMan]

A new Pitfall game is comming! For the Wii! With Wiimote vine swinging and all!

The game is being developed by Edge of Reality, same people who made Pitfall: The Lost Expedition for the PS2, and will be called "Pitfall: The Big Adventure"

from kotaku:

"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™ to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?!"

Set in the Peruvian jungle, Pitfall: The Big Adventure combines the action of reptile dodging and vine swinging with clever puzzles. The game will feature over 60 levels spanning lush rainforests, creature-filled caves, and glacial mountains. Within these dynamic worlds, players will explore cavernous jungles, discover lost treasures, battle shamen, narrowly escape treacherous traps and outwit creatures using innovative, accessible game mechanics developed specifically to take advantage of the Wii motion sensing controls.

"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.

I liked Lost Expedition on the GC, sure it was a little easy and kinda clichéd in parts but it was fun.

So?

Scores mean nothing, if you like a game.

Plus, they really mean nothing if you download instead of, or before, buying.

Pitfall on the Wii would rock so utterly hard!

Ahh!! A good, great, perfect game for the Wii is coming!! Ah, about time.

I beat the Lost Expedition on my PS2 2 times (save erase first time), and last time I beaten it for 100%, it was great and awesome and all, one best game. Truly.

And now this... woo!! And as for exclusivity, it means it will have good Wii graphics!

YAAAAAAYYYY!!! Can´t wait.

I played The Lost Expedition through on the PS2 (one of the few games I´ve actually completley played through), and

I really liked it! I bet this will be even better.

It looks worse to me, I know graphics don't matter that much but it would be nice if companies spent more time polishing games up.

It's looking like a Data Design Interactive game.. without the generic HUD

This is just the kind of trash I was expecting

Are those really official pics of the Wii version?
How could they?

Pitfall and Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure were such great games, and now this...

Edit: too late, didn't read Bob Evil's post

Found them.. yep.. same thing..

Still, it's ugly even for a Game Cube game

Looks nicer animated, rather than as stills.
