Today System 3 revealed information regarding one of its upcoming European Wii launch titles, Gottlieb Pinball Classics, which will ship to stores contemporaneously with the launch of the Wii on December 8.
Titled Pinball Hall of Fame in North America, the game follows hot on the heels of the success of Gottlieb Pinball Classics on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. This brand-new version showcases an original control scheme designed around the abilities of the Wii's motion sensing remote.
Officially licensed by world-class pinball table manufacturer, Gottlieb Pinball Classics features eleven of the company's tables, each of which showcases authentic pinball table mechanics, designs, and sounds. The game will make use of the WiiMote and Nunchuck to shoot balls as normal while tilting the table via the controllers' motion-sensing capabilities.
There are six different angles of play, as well as a multiplayer tournament where up to four players can compete against each other. The game also features unlockable extras including hidden tables.
Managing Director, Mark Cale, commented, "We have a reputation for great pinball games so it was important that we ensured that the Wii version was not another 'port'. We've further enhanced the control system to utilize the unique features of the Wii and I'm proud of the great job we've done with Gottlieb Pinball Classics."
Gottlieb Pinball Classics on Nintendo Wii is expected to retail in the UK at a suggested price of £29.99. No official North American price or release date has been announced.
