Jett Tailfin was one of the first games announced for Wii U, though it quickly fell off the radar. News has been pretty much absent since the original 2012 announcement.
But Jett Tailfin lives! Funbox Media announced today that the game will be released this October in Europe/PAL regions. While Jett Tailfin will be hitting Wii U, there’s no word on the 3DS version.
You can find more information about Jett Tailfin after the break.
JETT TAILFIN™ is a third person game that joins the fun of street races with an underwater environment full of obstacles.

The scenarios include paradisiacal and mystical places like the Fernando de Noronha Island and the Pirate’s Island.

· Run the tracks! Run through unique underwater environments with stunning visuals and challenging tracks!
· Tropical Islands – A tropical island full of coral reefs, colourful fish and golden sand. Its clear blue water hides dangerous enemies and can be quite challenging.
· Pirate’s Island – This old island of lost treasures can be as dangerous and menacing as the pirates that once lived there. Go through hidden tunnels, avoid a school of ferocious sharks and get your great treasure: the winner trophy!
· Atlantis – The greenish waters and purple crystals sets the beauty of this exotic place that is thought to be the remains of Atlantis. Finding your way through the ruins isn’t so easy, since you need to avoid the ferocious sharks on the track.
· Ship Graveyard – Massive Rusty metal sunken ships surrounded by murky waters makes this course one of the most challenging of the race! A maze course inside the tanks of great cargo ships and the rooms of decadent luxury liners.
Escape the enemies! Jett Tailfin™ brings home speed racing with an underwater twist! You must escape from the dangers of the sea while racing to become Top Fin!
· Shark – Beware of the sharks as they can be scary! If you see one, swim away as fast as you can! Sharks also make sure you follow the course.
· Sting Ray – Don’t bother these guys. The will get annoyed and chase you!
Find you buddies! Your buddies can help you, but you have to free them from being trapped inside floating barrels scattered throughout the course. There are three weapon buddy families each with different abilities. After you free them, they will help you trap or slow down the other racers. Often called “weapon buddies”, they are a great part of the fun of Top Fin racing!
· Octopus – These buddies specialise in stopping or slowing down the other racers by using their sticky tentacles or releasing a black ink cloud.
· Electric Eels – These guys are fast and love to chase racers. Eel buddies can fire electric bolts at other racers or they can create a protective force field around you.
· Blowfish – Watch out for these guys! Their needles can be pretty useful in slowing down a racer. They can also get more friends and create a mine field behind you,
