Motorbike Stunt Racing with Exclusive Track Editor

Paris, France – June 6th 2013
After reaching pole position for game sales in SCEA’s PlayStation®Store Chart, Tate Multimedia’s critically acclaimed Urban Trial Freestyle ™ is now revving up for Nintendo 3DS system. Confirmed for June 27th release on Nintendo 3DS in Europe and North America via Nintendo eShop, Urban Trial Freestyle ™ marks the debut of a Trials title on the console.

Urban Trial Freestyle ™ offers gamers real-life inspired motorbike stunt and racing action, all taking place on the game’s awesome tracks set across 45+ levels within five diverse cityscapes. The freestyle action continues beyond the tracks, as the game also includes 64 Custom Bike Configurations enabling players to customise their Body, Engine and Wheels options.

Urban Trial Freestyle ™ on Nintendo 3DS will also feature the highly anticipated Track Editor as a console exclusive, allowing players to create their own levels with unlimited possibilities.

More about the game:
Urban Trial Freestyle ™ includes three single player modes: Time Attack, Challenge and Stunt Mode which tests players’ performance skills for mastering special stunts such as the Highest and Longest Jump, Biggest Flip, Precise Aiming and Speed Check.
Players can challenge friends via a multiplayer asynchronous ghost mode and via leader boards.

Time Check missions, Environmental Objects and Advanced Physics and Dynamic Animations immerse players in all of the action. As players progress, new tracks are unlocked and custom motorbike parts, trophies and rider outfits become available.

Urban Trial Freestyle ™ has been greatly influenced by the support of Julien Dupont, the “godfather of urban trial freestyle.” Julien Dupont is known around the world for his unique street style and technique, mashing down barriers and setting new records.

I guess Nintendo doesn’t know the release date for Bugs vs. Tanks! after all. Even though it was listed for June 13 on the Big N’s official website, Level-5 has taken to Twitter and clarified that it will not be hitting the 3DS eShop that day.

The tweet reads:

All eShop demos come with a limit. For instance, you can only boot up the Project X Demo five times.

Who puts these limits in place? Nintendo won’t say, but an unnamed third-party publisher told Game Informer that the Big N initiates the requirement.

When it comes to official demo information from Nintendo, the only statement shared is as follows: “We don’t discuss our internal business practices.”
