Intuitive On-the-Ground and In-the-Air Controls Define the 5th
Iteration of Beloved Franchise
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2007--Experience
the soul of SSX™ remixed, re-energized and fully realized.
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced that SSX™ Blur,
developed exclusively for Nintendo Wii™, ships to North American
retailers today, and on March 9 in Europe under the EA SPORTS BIG™
brand. The game fully maximizes the intuitive capabilities of
Nintendo's next generation console while staying true to the fast
action-packed gameplay that you have come to expect from the
franchise. Developed by EA Montreal, SSX Blur is huge air, insane
speeds and monster tricks delivered in a fresh, innovative, Wii-a-fied
package.
Experience the familiar as well as the unexpected. You're still
ripping down the slopes, but this time you're carving and catching air
with the revolutionary new on-the-ground and in-the-air control
system. SSX Blur delivers the essence of the critically acclaimed
franchise but takes it to the next level with the capabilities of the
Wii. Use the Nunchuk to tear down the mountain and use the Wii Remote
to paint a virtually unlimited array of aerial maneuvers. Every second
of your SSX Blur experience will be maxed out with motion.
Your favorite characters return to the mountain to tackle 12
freshly laid tracks on three distinctly themed peaks. Feel the tunes
intensify as you pick up speed and stick your tricks, with dynamic
music mirroring your gameplay experience. Keep grooving, bombing and
boosting to fill your groove meter and you're set to let your Uber
Tricks loose on the mountain. SSX Blur is on-the-ground and in-the-air
excitement from top to bottom.
SSX™ Blur is available for the Nintendo Wii and has an MSRP of
$49.99. The game has been rated "E" (Everyone) by the ESRB and 3+ by
