Pitfall Harry is back - or at least, he will be soon. The crocodile dodging, vine swinging adventure from the classic Pitfall games will feature in Pitfall: The Big Adventure on the Wii, Activsion announced today.

The press release makes the game look quite ambitious,
Set in the Peruvian jungle, Pitfall: The Big Adventure combines the action of reptile dodging and vine swinging with clever puzzles. The game will feature over 60 levels spanning lush rainforests, creature-filled caves, and glacial mountains. Within these dynamic worlds, players will explore cavernous jungles, discover lost treasures, battle shamen, narrowly escape treacherous traps and outwit creatures using innovative, accessible game mechanics developed specifically to take advantage of the Wii motion sensing controls.


There's no release date scheduled for the swinging game so far, so stay tuned for any new information coming in.

Were you a Pitfall fan back in the day? How do you think the Wii controls will be implemented? And what do you think of the word "Shamen" as a plural for Shaman?

Same. On second thoughts though I don't know why, given the shape of the remote.

i'm only confused that it took 8 posts to get disturbing.

i never got the idea of swinging. i'd prefer to know i was going to go with someone hotter than my wife, i wouldnt want to chance a fatty.

"wait, i want the astra, not the datsun... NOOOOO NOT THE .. OH GOD LET ME GO"

swingers parties, unless filled with people hotter than i am, dont interest me. my partner thinks the same.

What he's trying to say, is he won't go to a swingers party unless the bad, bad omen is there ;)

I thought it was gonna be golf, or something where you gotta get it in a hole.

As for only going with ppl hotter, that's what masks are for.
Go for the Point Break look: Dead presidents
