Ubisoft's Nitrobike Races to Wii
Wii-exclusive arcade racer from Excitebike dev.
The rapidly increasing popularity of Wii is seeing more and more exclusive titles announced for the system. One of the console's biggest supporters, Ubisoft, has announced a new motorcycle racing game for the innovative Nintendo platform.
Ubisoft announced it will release Nitrobike exclusively for the Wii in November. Developed by Left Field Productions - the creators of the classic Excitebike 64 for the Nintendo 64 - Nitrobike lets players navigate rocket-propelled motorcycles in an arcade-style racing environment.
Players will be able to race against the clock, or against worthy opposition in multiplayer and online game modes.
"Ubisoft is thrilled to be introducing the first Motocross game available for Wii," said Ubisoft's Jay Cohen. "Nitrobike's fun and fast-paced gameplay is sure to be a hit for Wii owners," he said.
