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

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

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