Sniper Elite™, one of the world’s best-selling ‘Action/Adventure Sniper Simulators’ is being brought to the Wii™ this June.
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 may have influenced games such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Software-wise, Sniper Elite is a tactical shooter set in the Battle of Berlin in 1945.
The simulator, based on sniping gameplay, puts you in the shoes of an American OSS agent, Karl Fairburne, disguised as a German sniper, with the objective of obtaining German nuclear technology before the Soviet NKVD does.
Never before on Wii has the art of sniping been taken to the extreme, with options for enabling realistic ballistics, such as bullet drop, wind strength and breathing when attempting a shot. When you make an ‘extreme’ sniper shot, the view follows the path of the bullet in slow motion, while the camera rotates around the bullet, making for exceptionally satisfying kills.
The game will be exclusively bundled with a white Sniper Rifle to enhance the gaming experience. The Wii controller is installed towards the front of the rifle, and the nun chuck is installed just above the rifle’s trigger.
David Provan of Bluemouth Interactive said “Sniper Elite will be an essential purchase for all shooter fans on Wii. The bundled rifle makes full use of the Wii’s control system with movement and gestures”.
David concluded, “Sniper Elite represents a terrific retail opportunity. It immerses Wii gamers into Berlin 1945, plus the rifle accessory makes the game as realistic and exciting as possible. We believe this will be one of the most fun shooter titles launched in 2011”.
The Sniper Elite on Wii™ will be distributed via Bluemouth Interactive exclusively on Wii™ in June 2011 and will be available from leading videogaming retailers Big W, JB Hifi and GAME. Software is compatible with Wii Zapper.
Suggested Retail Price: $79.95. Bluemouth website landing page:
