 Ubisoft Propels Nitrobike™ Exclusively Onto Wii™    

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced it will release Nitrobike™ exclusively for the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo.    

Developed by Left Field Productions, the creators of the classic Excitebike® 64 for the Nintendo® 64, Nitrobike will be published and distributed by Ubisoft for Holiday 2007. Players will navigate rocket-propelled motorcycles in this arcade-style game. Players can choose to race against the clock or against worthy opponents in Nitrobike’s exciting multiplayer game mode and unique online mode.    

“Ubisoft is thrilled to be introducing the first Motocross game available for Wii," said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. “Nitrobike’s fun and fast-paced gameplay is sure to be a hit for Wii owners for the holiday season."

Rocket-propelled motorcycles?  How can you not think that's awesome!?

Left Field needs to make another NBA Courtside game, with waggle controlled Kobe Bryant rape.

That's just all kinds of wrong Brandogg.

Ubisoft is why, my friend, Ubisoft.

Just because Ubisoft has made some mediocre stuff doesn't mean everything they make is mediocre.  And besides that, Ubisoft isn't developing the game, they're only publishing it.

Ah, wow.  Left Field Productions... we haven't heard from those guys in a LONG time.  Hmm.. hopefully this "Nitrobike" shtick turns out to be pretty cool.  They are a pretty good dev after all.

I really like Excitebike 64, but I wonder how many of those people are still at Left Field, and whether they can make a modern game in the same vein without Nintendo's supervision.

[NWR_Lindy]

Left Field's reputation makes a living off of Excitebike 64.  The truth of the matter is that they've put out some really mediocre shiz overall.

Well well well, look who comes crawling back

One team that will never try to get Bryant: Denver Nuggets
