HUDSON ENTERTAINMENT AND KONAMI SHIP WING ISLAND TO RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE

Take to the Skies with High-Flying Thrills, Immersive Controls and Intuitive Gameplay in this Flight Action Game for the Wii™

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – March 20, 2007 –Fasten your seatbelts! Hudson Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Wing Island, exclusively for the Wii™, has shipped to retail stores nationwide. Delivering soaring aerial acrobatics, the game lets players use the Wii Remote™ to maneuver a variety of planes in and around a chain of island environments. Featuring both solo and multiplayer action, the game’s diverse missions range from racing and crop dusting to fire fighting and stopping thieves from stealing treasure. Filled with a colorful cast of animated characters, Wing Island is instantly accessible to players of all ages as they experience the thrill of flying.

Wing Island features three primary modes of play: Story Mode, Free Mode and Trial Mode. In all three game modes players can either fly solo or in formation, controlling a group of five planes simultaneously. Players have total control of their flight team, directing them to fly in a variety of formations simply by performing pre-set motions using the Wii Remote. The various formations are critical to completing mission objectives, as players zoom in and out of cramped caves, or fan out into a V-formation to deliver cargo.

In Story Mode, players assume the role of Junior, who must fulfill the responsibility of the family aviation business while his grandpa is on vacation. Junior, along with his friend Puffin, must help his fellow islanders by completing more than 20 unique missions. Using the game’s intuitive control scheme where players tilt, turn and twist the planes using the Wii Remote, players seamlessly perform banks, dives and loops to accomplish mission objectives. Successfully completed missions earn money, which can be used to purchase or upgrade new aircraft. In Free Mode, players can fly around at their leisure, taking in the breathtaking island scenery. In the game’s Trial Mode, two players can compete in head-to-head mini-games, or one player can compete against a computer controlled plane. In this multiplayer mode, players can use either the Wii Remote or Nunchuk™ together for additional multiplayer flexibility.

Wing Island is published by Hudson and distributed by Konami. The game is rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB and carries a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information on Wing Island, please visit www.konami.com.
