Retro fans will like the news that classic Activision title, Pitfall will be reworked for the modern age in a new game for the Nintendo Wii. Titled Pitfall: The Big Adventure, it will follow Pitfall Harry as he leaps headfirst into the classic action that will blend "the action of reptile dodging and vine swinging with clever puzzles." The Wii-mote will be utilised by "revolutionizing the classic franchise" with "innovative application" of the Wii's control mechanics.
Activision's Dave Oxford had the following to say, "Pitfall is one of the most legendary franchises in the history of videogames, so we look forward to releasing a new version exclusively for Wii, what could be more fun than using the Wii Remote to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?"
Indeed, here's hoping that this release will be a tad better than the last Pitfall release which left a lot to be desired for. Poor Pitfall Harry...
