Activision Introduces Shootin’ Fun For Everyone with Top Shot Arcade Exclusively For W Ii, Coming This March
Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced that TOP SHOT ARCADE, a new arcade-style shooting experience developed exclusively for Wii™, will be available March 2011
The game comes equipped with the TOP SHOT ELITE peripheral that features pump action reload and an adjustable stock to fit players of all ages and sizes. TOP SHOT ARCADE is designed to be the ultimate party game with four person head-to-head shooting action.
“Players will have a blast with friends and family in the wild, fun competition of an arcade shooting game in the comfort of their own home,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “TOP SHOT ARCADE is packed with arcade style action and over the top humor to keep players high fiving and laughing!”
TOP SHOT ARCADE allows players to compete in over 75 arcade shooting galleries across 15 North American locations where up to four people can play simultaneously. Target practice definitely pays off, as TOP SHOT ARCADE includes 15 hilarious bonus games, including Night of the Living Trophies (zombified bucks anyone?), Trailer Trashin’ (no explanation needed) and Animatronic Annihilation (make those dang robotic animals stop singing!). You’ll need to get your trigger finger ready for the included TOP SHOT ELITE peripheral, designed by Red Octane (Guitar Hero fame), that makes the game immediately accessible so everyone can get in on the shootin’ fun.
TOP SHOT ARCADE, bundled with the TOP SHOT ELITE, will be available exclusively for Wii™ in March 2011 for a MSRP of $49.99. The game is rated T for Teen. For more information, visit www.topshotarcade.com or follow on Twitter and Facebook - @ActivisionHunts – Facebook.com/ActivisionHunts
