First-Ever Pokémon Adventure Game for Wii Lets Players Control Pikachu

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Launching today across North America, the new PokéPark™ Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure game is the first Pokémon™ adventure game created exclusively for the Wii™ system, placing the world-famous Pikachu™ in a massive world filled with friends, foes and exploration. Series fans and newcomers alike are invited to play as Pikachu as they progress through a wild set of challenges, tangling with other Pokémon and racing to save the PokéPark from an uncertain fate.

At the outset of PokéPark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure, the Rare Pokémon Mew™ appears and summons Pikachu to the PokéPark. Several pieces of the Sky Prism have gone missing, and it’s up to Pikachu to retrieve them. Players take control of Pikachu to compete in a wide variety of Skill Games and Attractions, bringing Pikachu one step closer to saving the PokéPark. As they move through the park’s many action-packed Zones, players can befriend other Pokémon by defeating them in Skill Games. They can also play as other Pokémon in certain Attractions and revisit challenges again and again to attempt new high scores. Fans with keen ears will be especially pleased to note that the Pokémon speak with the same voices heard on the popular Pokémon animated series.


Halloween has passed, but there’s no reason you can’t spend time pretending to be someone – or something – else. For the WiiWare™ downloadable game service, players can hop inside a robot in Robox®. For Nintendo DSiWare™, players can take on the role of the Ultimate Pacifier in Paul’s Shooting Adventure or go solo with Peg Solitaire. For a sporty look, try out a classic three-on-three basketball game for the Virtual Console™ service. Get the best of both worlds with a virus-controlling game, Gene Labs available for both WiiWare and Nintendo DSiWare.
