New Ricky Carmichael Moto-X Title Due For GBA
THQ today announced the definitive handheld motocross game for Nintendo s upcoming Game Boy Advance system.
CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael. Following the success of the Championship Motocross franchise on PlayStation and the growing popularity of the sport, THQ looks forward to expanding its motocross franchise with an all-new game for Nintendo s next generation handheld system. Currently in development by Tiertex, CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael will offer 30 professional riders and freestylers, 20 licensed events, five fully customizable bikes and an extensive library of tricks and combos, delivering the most complete handheld interactive motocross experience. CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael is scheduled for release in summer 2001.
"THQ is thrilled with the success of the CMX franchise", said Michael Rubinelli, vice president of product development, THQ. "We are committed to dominating the motocross genre and plan to deliver the most realistic motocross game on the Game Boy Advance with more real tracks, riders, equipment and sponsors than any handheld system has ever seen."
CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael features a 30 rider roster complementing Ricky Carmichael with seven of the current top 10 from the 250cc class, major 125cc class factory riders and some of the flashiest World Freestyle Association professionals. Riders can perform tricks and combos as freestylers like Carey Hart, Trevor Vines and Mike Jones or race as top names including Ricky Carmichael, Mike LaRocco and Kevin Windham.
THQ also has existing deals to feature licensed events and tracks including THQ's own title-sponsored event the THQ US Open. The Outdoor National Championships, Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals and the Free Ride Moto-X Championships will also be key events in CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael. Showcasing high-resolution graphics, the ability to feature up to eight riders on the screen at once, 20 licensed tracks, a robust freestyle mode, real freestyle events, real amateur races, authentic equipment upgrades and actual motocross sponsors, CMX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael clearly has the holeshot over the competition.
