Sniper Elite for Wii

Sniper Elite, the world’s best selling ‘Action/Adventure Sniper Simulator’ is being brought to the Nintendo Wii by UK publisher Reef Entertainment.

The original Sniper Elite 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 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 & Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre, we are incorporating features to ensure that Sniper EliteTM will be an essential purchase for all shooter fans.’

The Wii version of Sniper Elite 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 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 on Nintendo Wii will be launched Q2 2010.
