Some months ago, we had reported about a horse racing game called as G1 Jockey for the Nintendo Wii. The game did make some innovative use of the Wiimote as well as the Nunchuck. Now Koei has sent word that the forthcoming G1 Jockey Wii 2008 will have support for the Balance Board.
Naoki Katashima, executive VP, KOEI Europe and US says, “With G1 jockey we have always strived to recreate the full horse racing experience in the most realistic and enjoyable way possible. The Nintendo Wii and now the Wii Balance Board have allowd us to continue our desire to bring every aspect of this fascinating sport into the homes of passionate horse racing fans and gamers who want to enjoy a sporting experience like no other.”
So what can gamers expect from G1 Jockey Wii 2008? Well, they will be able to leap fences and steer their horse to victory, all this using the Wii Balance Board. The game also has an unbelievably deep career mode. Players will be have to work their way from rookie status to horse racing marvel.
G1 Jockey Wii 2008 for the Nintendo Wii is scheduled to be out in the United Kingdom and Europe in September this year. The game is expected to let players not only breed their horses but also develop them.
