SANTA MONICA, CA – November 21, 2008 – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today Big League Sports for the Wii™ has hit retail shelves in North America. Developed by Koolhaus Games exclusively for Wii, the game is all about putting players right into the action in the most thrilling situations in their favorite sports.

There are multiple disciplines to master within tennis, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse and hockey. But unlike other games the focus is not on the team – it’s on whether or not you can deliver in specific, adrenaline-pumping moments. Whether it’s acing an opponent in tennis, hitting a basketball shot at the buzzer, or bending free kicks around a goalie in soccer, Big League Sports offers a fresh interpretation of what a sports game can be on Wii.

“I can’t tell you yet but I will say we are already working on a couple new [Dragon Ball] games for fans…At this time there are no plans in the works to bring Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World to the Wii…That is definitely a possibility as there is plenty more story to tell! [Dragon Ball: Origins sequel]”

Now, a sequel to Dragon Ball: Origins is something that I’d like to see. The one available in stores now really hits close to home for those who watched the TV show.

“Kidz Sport Crazy Mini Golf” Nintendo Wii

Stourbridge, England, 20th November 2008. Crazy Mini Golf is more than just seaside fun and games on a rainy day, it’s actually an international sport, which we British excel at! Chris Harding – the current British Champion and 2007 World title holder – regularly tours the world with his putter in hand, taking on all contenders. This week, he took time out of his busy schedule to visit the Data Design Interactive development studio where he put his skills to the test in a game of “Kidz Sports – Crazy Mini Golf”. “Kidz Sports – Crazy Mini Golf” is available on Nintendo Wii.

QUOTE from Chris Harding

I knew from the start that quite a lot was at stake, this was going to be a serious game. The lads had beer and pizza on the table, and were egging each other on. It’s about reputations and I wasn’t going to go down without a fight, and I have to say this is a brilliant game – I had a fantastic time, I haven’t laughed so much in ages. True, this doesn’t capture the feel of a real game where you have to put up with wind, rain and sometimes snow, but there is (as in golf) serious science in this game; positioning, speed and angle are all there, plus the most important part – the fun…
