"Wii PLAY IT"

London, United Kingdom -1st December 2006 - System 3 today announced two titles ready for the launch of brand-new games system, Nintendo Wii.

Gottlieb® Pinball Classics and Super Fruitfall will be available for December 8th launch day of Nintendo's new hugely anticipated games machine.

Following-up on the success of Gottlieb Pinball Classics on PlayStation 2 and PSP comes a brand new version featuring a new control system written exclusively for Nintendo Wii. 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 is expected to retail around £29.99.

Super Fruitfall, It's a brain game and a unique puzzle game concept which is ideally suited to the Nintendo Wii casual family-gaming philosophy and the play mechanic is crucially simple-to-play but difficult to master. Players rotate the puzzle board to group-together fruit types in order to eliminate them from game. Sounds simple, eh? These core concepts combine to ensure that Super Fruitfall is the perfect puzzler for Nintendo Wii and brings a brand new element to the puzzle genre. The game is expected to retail around £24.99.

Managing Director, Mark Cale, commented, "We're excited to be a launch partner to the trade for Nintendo Wii. We've had great success with Gottlieb Pinball Classics on other formats and have worked extremely hard to ensure that the already excellent gameplay is enhanced by the new features in the Wii. Super Fruitfall is a fantastic concept and will have very broad appeal and is a perfect pick-up title for 'Day One' hardware purchasers."

Both games are being released by the System 3 Software under the company's flagship premium brand, System 3.
