KOEI today announced the latest installment in the popular G1 Jockey series with G1 Jockey Wii 2008, which will be utilising the Nintendo Wii Console’s unique controllers to recreate the horse racing experience more realistically than ever before.
Players can use the Wii remote as the whip and they get the chance to leap fences and steer their horse through the feedback from the Wii Balance Board.
As well as providing gamers with one of the most intuitive sporting experiences on the Wii console, the G1 Jockey Wii 2008 game also contains a career mode where players can work their way from rookie status to horse racing legend.
“With G1 Jockey we have always strived to recreate the full horse racing experience in the most realistic and enjoyable way possible,” said Naoki Katashima, Executive Vice President KOEI Europe and US. “The Nintendo Wii and now the Wii Balance Board have enabled us to continue our desire to bring every facet of this fascinating sport into the homes of passionate horse racing fans and gamers who want to enjoy a sporting experience like no other.”
G1 Jockey Wii 2008 will be released in the UK and across Europe in September 2008
