Redwood City, CA (March 7, 2007) -
EA today announced details on their Wii lineup of games.
From EA:
“The Nintendo Wii has allowed us to explore new and exciting game play
possibilities and attract a whole new audience to EA games,“ said Paul Lee,
President, Worldwide Studios, EA. “In the upcoming year, we will continue to
custom-design our most popular franchises and develop new EA properties that
take full advantage of this unique gaming platform.”
Building on the excitement surrounding the recent announcement that MySims is
being developed especially for the Wii platform, The Sims Division is thrilled
to unveil a new level in game. Just beyond Town Center lies the forest—a wild
and wondrous world filled with giant trees and hidden nooks. Explorers can
follow winding paths and search dark crannies, never knowing what surprise lies
around the next bend. Perhaps it’s a mysterious new plant, ripe and ready for
harvesting, or maybe they will encounter a hidden cave. By searching out every
corner, players will expand their MySims world and greatly increase their
creative space. Expect this first game in a revolutionary new line from
the developers of The Sims Division in fall 2007.
SSX Blur is everything you expect from the franchise, delivered in a totally
unexpected way. Revolutionary controls take full advantage of the
potential of the Wii by putting you in total command of your skier or rider,
on-the-ground and in-the-air, by translating every motion you make into skills
that create mountain legends. Tear down the mountain with one of your
hands and unleash a virtually unlimited array of aerial maneuvers with the other
one. This is the soul of SSX, remixed, re-energized, and fully realized.
Perfect your swing using the Wii Remote as you earn respect and climb the ranks
in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 07. The top-selling golf video game franchise is packed
with new content, including 18 championship courses and 35 pro and fantasy
golfers. The power and control of every swing are literally in your hands.
Whether you tilt the Wii Remote to hook and slice the ball or swing away for a
long straight drive, the innovative game controller provides the most realistic
golfing experience that has ever been felt or seen. The Nunchuk can also be
attached for the traditional analog swing.
The Godfather Blackhand Edition gives an enhanced experience with motion-based
Blackhand Control by integrating Nintendo’s innovative Wii controller. The
Godfather Blackhand Edition for the Wii offer brand new ways to go from Soldier
to Don as you gain control of the streets of New York. Follow the path of an
Enforcer or Operator; each with its own unique perks and abilities to earn. For
improved, hyper-intuitive control in The Godfather Blackhand Edition, use
gestures with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to perform true-to-life actions and
accuracy.
Join the ranks of the elite 82nd Airborne Division as Corporal Frank Keegan in
Medal of Honor Vanguard. From Operation Husky on the shores of Sicily to your
Operation Varsity airdrop inside Nazi Germany, you’ll jump behind enemy lines to
fight the epic WWII battles that turned America’s first paratroopers into heroes
of WWII. Choose from a variety of authentic, customizable weapons at your
disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Featuring spectacular
graphics and all-out combat intensity, Medal of Honor Vanguard makes you the
driving force in the struggle to liberate Europe.
