Team6 -- the studio responsible for hits like
Sunshine Beach Volleyball and
Pacific Liberation Force -- have announced
Glacier2, a racing game for the Nintendo Wii.
Glacier2 is an over-the-top, arcade racer that pits players against the elements and each other. The game takes place in the Alps, so be prepared for plenty of icy encounters and power slides. It seems as though the game’s crux is built upon killing the other racers. Cars come equipped with an assortment of typically handheld weapon like sniper rifles and shotguns.
No word on release window, but Team6 did drop some other concrete facts. The game will have 18 “freezing cold levels” and seven “tuned superrides” (I think that means “cars”) to choose from.
Press release included after the break.

But "full support" for the wiimote? That sounds dangerously waggly.
