Activision long-running Pitfall series (first surfacing in 1982) has undergone a number of re-designs since its birth, the last being Pitfall: The Lost Expedition for the Nintendo GameCube. And today Activision has announced protagonist Harry’s latest adventure, Pitfall: The Big Adventure for the Nintendo Wii.

With a focus on “innovative” motion controls, players will traverse 60 levels spanning rainforests, caves and glacial mountains; swinging on vines, solving puzzles and dealing with enemies along the way.

“Pitfall is one of the most legendary franchises in the history of videogames, so we look forward to releasing a new version exclusively for Wii,” said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. “What could be more fun than using the Wii Remote to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?!”

“Wii is a natural and perfect fit for a Pitfall game, and it’s been fantastic to revolutionize this classic franchise through the application of the innovative Wii game mechanics. It’s a completely new experience for the gamer,” said Binu Philip, President, Edge of Reality.
