SYSTEM 3 ANNOUNCES GOTTLIEB® PINBALL CLASSICS FOR NINTENDO Wii™ AVAILABLE DECEMBER 8TH

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

-- 1st December 2006 --

London, United Kingdom -1st December 2006 - System 3 today announced the launch of one of two Nintendo Wii titles for simultaneous release alongside the highly-anticipated hardware launch on December 8th.

Following-up on the success of Gottlieb Pinball Classics on PlayStation 2 and PSP comes a brand new version showcasing a brand new control system written exclusively for Nintendo Wii.

It's a totally authentic pinball experience - capturing all the sights and sounds of the real arcade game. The game control system has been reinvented to take advantage of the amazing control system offered by the Wiii. Utilising the unique WiiMote and Nunchuck controllers, Gottlieb Pinball Classics players can shoot balls as normal while tilting the table with the motion-sensing controller.

The game is officially licensed by Gottlieb® the world-famous maker of pinball tables and features eleven of the greatest tables made by the prestigious manufacturer. Every table features authentic pinball table mechanics, designs, graphics and sounds.

There are six different camera angles to play from and a multi-player tournament with up-to four players competing with each other. Lots of un-lockable extras including hidden tables ensure that Gottlieb Pinball Classics is the most-accurate pinball game ever!

Managing Director, Mark Cale, commented, "We have a reputation for great pinball games so it was important that we ensured that the Wii version was not another 'port'. We've further enhanced the control system to utilise the unique features of the Wii and I'm proud of the great job we've done with Gottlieb Pinball Classics."

Gottlieb Pinball Classics is one of two Nintendo Wii titles launching on December 8th by System 3 under the company's flagship premium brand, System 3.

Gottlieb Pinball Classics on Nintendo Wii is expected to retail at £29.99.
