Sniper Elite
TM
, the world’s best selling ‘Action/Adventure
Sniper Simulator’ is being brought to the Nintendo Wii
TM
by UK publisher Reef Entertainment.
The original Sniper Elite
TM
was launched in 2005 on PS2, Xbox and PC and quickly set the
standard for in-game sniper techniques and bullet physics which
influenced games such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Unreal
Tournament.
Peter Rezon, CEO of Reef Entertainment said; ‘The Nintendo
Wii
TM
platform has been very good for Reef and we will continue to
develop innovative and unique games for it. Following on from our
recent launches of Free Running
TM
& Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre
TM
, we are incorporating features to ensure that Sniper Elite
TM
will be an essential purchase for all shooter
fans.’
The Wii
TM
version of Sniper Elite
TM
makes full use of the Wii’s control system with
movement and gestures, is compatible with the Wii Zapper, and
contains new levels and a raft of additional features, making this
game one of a kind.
Peter concludes, ‘Sniper Elite
TM
represents our most ambitious project yet. We have taken a
game which has been called ‘the Gran Turismo of War
Games’ and we will fully immerse gamers into Berlin 1945.
Rifle add-ons such as the Wii Zapper have been a primary focus to
make the game as realistic and exciting as possible. We believe
this will be one of the most fun shooter titles launched in
2010”.
Sniper Elite
TM
on Nintendo Wii
TM
will be launched Q2 2010.
