Summer Athletics 2009 for Wii
introduces the Balance Board Cup
Summer Athletics 2009’s Wii
version will support Wii Balance Board controls. The game is equipped with a
unique Balance Board Cup.
Console athletes will need their
stability on the Wii Balance Board to control their character in the contest’s
five disciplines. These are high jump, triple jump, hammer throwing, high dive
and archery. Players wiggle their hips around to spin the hammer and gather
speed. Holding your breath and standing evenly balanced is key to hitting the
mark in archery. If you center your weight right in the middle of the Wii
Balance Board, you have only to adjust to cross winds to score full points.
Like all contests and challenges in
Summer Athletics 2009, the Balance Board cup is available in three difficulty
settings. "Easy" is recommended for players who have never played a sports game
before, "Average" appeals to more experienced players and "Difficult" requires
the skills of advanced players. It is possible to obtain a fourth difficulty
setting called "Champion" after unlocking special achievements. “Champion”
features the hardest AI competitors that will challenge even gaming veterans.
The battle for Gold Medals and
personal bests sparks excitement and healthy competition in Summer Athletics
2009. Athletes from all over the world run, throw, jump and swim for victory.
Millimeters and split seconds will decide the winners. When playing with friends
and family, a living room becomes a stadium. It’s not only four players
competing; in Summer Athletics 2009 they can chase records and beat their best
times as a team, to eventually celebrate their big victory together.
The athletes compete in 28 summer
time disciplines, including 100 meters sprint, high diving, javelin or the new
skeet shooting event. In Berlin World Cup mode, a national team can go for
ultimate glory in the World Championships in 15 track and field contests.With a
variety of game modes, format specific controls and up-to-date graphics, Summer
Athletics 2009 will be challenging and fun to play at the same time.
Summer Athletics 2009 will be
available this summer for Wii, Xbox 360® and PC in multiple territories. In the
United States, the game will be published under the name World Championship
Athletics by Conspiracy Entertainment.
