Hot Wheels: World’s Best Driver heading to Wii U, 3DS
GameStop and EB Games have outed “Hot Wheels: World’s Best Driver” for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Firebrand Games is behind this one – the team that made Trackmania DS and Need for Speed: The Run for Wii and 3DS, but also the dreadful Fast & Furious: Showdown. Warner Bros. is handling publishing duties.
The two retailers provide the following details:
Developed by Firebrand Games (NASCAR Unleashed, Cars 2, Need for Speed The Run, Hot Wheels Track Attack), players can now join the ranks of Team Hot Wheels, an elite group of drivers competing for the coveted title: “World’s Best Driver.” The drivers are split into four teams, each with their own disciplines: Super Fast (Green), Outrageous (Red), High-Tech (Blue) and Powerful (Yellow). Compete in over 70 thrilling events in four Hot Wheels Test Facility (HWTF) locations around the world. For the first time, players can experience the legendary world of the HWTF where the latest and greatest Hot Wheels creations are born.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Thrilling Vehicle Experiences: Extreme motocross in the Andes, freestyle mid-air stunts on top of Shanghai skyscrapers, precision drifting through an obstacle course on top of a South Pacific aircraft carrier – the adrenaline-fueled excitement only Hot Wheels can deliver!
- Hot Wheels – For Real: 24 customizable vehicles including classic Hot Wheels designs such as the Ripper, the Twin Mill, the Boneshaker and the special edition Hot Wheels Camaro.
