Conspiracy Entertainment Corporation has revealed its plans to release “Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge” for Nintendo’s world-leading Wii console, with the game set to ’sprint’ into stores in early August 2008 in the North American market.

Gamers are told to prepare their inner athlete for what is described as “the ultimate summer challenge” as Conspiracy Entertainment has finally announced that “Summer Athletics” has now gone gold and is being readied for release for the suggested retail price of US$29.99, aiming to try and capture the lucrative family and casual gamer market share that has helped THQ’s Big Beach Sports and Hudson’s Sports Island to massive sales already.

“We are very excited to start rolling ‘Summer Athletics’ onto store shelves across North America next month. We have timed the game’s release to ride the wave of excitement surrounding the world summer games in Beijing. Through our strategic, global partnerships, we are pleased to bring yet another fresh and fun take on sports entertainment that creates a user-controlled thrill ride using the best of the Wii’s controls.”
- Sirus Ahmadi, CEO of Conspiracy Entertainment.

Developed by 49Games, “Summer Athletics” will bring more than twenty-five action-packed sports right into your home. Featuring controls custom-tailored to each platform, the game will be accessible to all types of gamers. A character editor, career mode, three-dimensional animations and realistic environments round out the game’s offerings, ensuring fun for the whole family and sports fans alike.

“Summer Athletics was created by the innovators behind one of Conspiracy’s top-selling games, ‘Winter Sports.’ We look forward to bringing ‘Summer Athletics’ to the same markets that made Winter Sports such a success for us.”
- Keith Tanaka, CFO of Conspiracy Entertainment.

Summer Athletics features twenty-five sports, such as sprinting, archery, javelin, hammer throw and swimming. A custom character editor, lifelike graphics and realistic animations will apparently immerse players in the game’s diverse and challenging events.
