INDIANAPOLIS
500 LEGENDS’
FOR THE WIIŪ
CONSOLE AND
NINTENDO DSŪ
MINNEAPOLIS,
MN – May 21,
2007 – Are
you ready to
careen
around the
world-famous
Indianapolis
Motor
Speedway in
a hand-built
1960s speed
machine that
hits speeds
of nearly
180 mph, yet
rides only 7
inches off
the ground?
Can you
survive a
moving
minefield of
crashes,
spinning
cars,
rolling
tires, oil
slicks and
32 rivals
competing
for the
perfect
racing line?
You’ll learn
these
answers and
more as
Destineer
today
announces
Indianapolis
500 Legends
for the WiiŪ
console and
Nintendo
DSŪ.
Set from
1961-1971, a
period of
loose rules
and
ever-faster
cars,
Indianapolis
500 Legends
lets players
experience
the
traditions,
rivalries,
terrifying
speeds and
jaw-dropping
maneuvers of
the world
famous
Brickyard as
they take on
the
arcade-style
gameplay
inspired by
the birth of
modern
racing.
“Indianapolis
500 Legends
combines
edge-of-your-seat
Indy-style
racing with
the
widespread
appeal and
accessibility
of the
Nintendo Wii
and DS,
making it
the perfect
choice for
racing fans
of any age
and skill,”
said Paul
Rinde, CEO
of Destineer.
In
Indianapolis
500 Legends,
players
assume the
roles of 30
of the
sport’s most
daring
real-life
legends like
Al Unser,
A.J. Foyt
and Parnelli
Jones as
they draft,
dodge and
slingshot
through a
virtual
minefield on
a track
where speeds
of up to 180
miles per
hour defined
racing’s
frontier
mentality.
Experience
crashes,
upsets and
thrills with
mission-based
racing that
puts you in
the middle
of some of
the Indy
500’s most
famous and
infamous
moments.
Drive the
last of the
front-engine
roadsters;
experiment
with the
first
turbine cars
or strap on
the earliest
sets of
bolt-on
wings. But
buckle up -
back then
the rules
were few,
protection
was a luxury
and making
it to the
finish line
was never
guaranteed.
Rounding out
the
experience
are pit stop
mini-games
that include
changing
tires and
refueling
via the Wii
remote and
Nintendo DS
stylus.
Players can
even unlock
historic
Indy
memorabilia.
From
Destineer
and
developer
Torus,
Indianapolis
500 Legends
races into
stores this
holiday
season for a
suggested
retail price
of $49.99
for the Wii
version, and
$29.99 for
its DS
counterpart.
