Με το Nintendo Wii μέχρι τώρα ξέραμε ότι μπορούμε να κάνουμε… γυμναστική στο σαλόνι μας παίζοντας tennis, golf ή ακόμα και kick boxing χωρίς να πλακωθούμε στο ξύλο βέβαια στην πραγματικότητα με τον αντίπαλό μας. Τώρα έρχεται για το Wii το Thrustmaster T-Freestyle NW, το οποίο επιτρέπει στον χρήστη να το τοποθετήσει στο πάτωμα του σαλονιού του και να κάνει snowboard ή skateboard με την άνεσή του, αφού είναι συμβατό με όλα τα skate ή snowboard games!
Προς το τέλος του Νοεμβρίου θα είναι διαθέσιμο στις ΗΠΑ στην τιμή των 30 δολαρίων, ενώ παραμένει άγνωστο ακόμα πότε θα έρθει προς Ευρώπη και αν θα φτάσει και στα ελληνικά καταστήματα.
Ακολουθεί το επίσημο press release:
Experience the sensation of skateboarding and snowboarding like no other
New York, NY – (November 5, 2009) – Thrustmaster, the innovative PC and console accessory brand from Guillemot Corporation, is proud to unveil the T-Freestyle NW, the ultimate controller for snowboarding and skateboarding Wii fans. Experience the extreme action of boarding this winter from the comfort of your living room. Available just in time for the holidays, the T-Freestyle NW will be available at the end of November for $29.99 SRP.
With the T-Freestyle NW (patent pending), now more than ever before, it’s more fun and intuitive for gamers to land perfect maneuvers and link up slides from one rail to another. Wii snowboarding and skateboarding gamers can use the T-Freestyle NW to execute freestyle tricks and to control their boarding runs with the same spirit of “freedom” and the sensation of “no limit” that makes these sports so popular.
Crafted of genuine maple – just like real boards, the T-Freestyle offers the perfect balance between flexibility and resistance reproducing the real sensations of boarding. Maneuvering half-pipes and rail jams in games has never been this realistic. Designed to reflect the extreme attitude and style of boarders, the T-Freestyle NW features a “Skull” logo and the size allows for positioning just like a real board.
“In order to achieve this striking realism for gamers, Thrustmaster has employed Rolling Motion Board technology, allowing for true lateral movement capabilities just like in boarding sports, as well as a Safety Stopper feature to eliminate any risk of tipping over, for maximum fun and safety,” says Winn Keaten, Thrustmaster Marketing Manager.
Users can attach the T-Freestyle NW to their Balance Board quickly and easily, then get on and enjoy endless hours of fun playing their favorite boarding games with a level of realism that has never been possible until now. This is the ultimate accessory for current and future ultra-realistic snowboarding and skateboarding games on Wii.
