Wii Pitfall:The Big Adventure screens swing your way photo

Ah, Pitfall. As one of my earliest experiences with a video game (I was seven), the original Atari 2600 version was responsible for many bouts of fun and intense frustration. Of course, considering that my patience was ten times as short as it is now, that may not be saying much, but I have fond memories of it regardless.

It's hard to say if this new Wii version will be any fun or not, but you never know. With 60 levels to explore and lots of vine swinging and reptile avoidance in store, it just might be worth some fun. The game is out in North America already, so if you are a fan of the series,get ready for some hot Peruvian action. Wait ... that came out all wrong.

Isn't this a port of the one that was on Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox?

Yup. It's a direct port, although Activision says otherwise in their press releases.

This doesn't sound too enticing, no matter how steamy said action is.

Fuck this shit. Ports, over and over again. Goddamnit... I am so glad I bought a 360 over a Wii... and this is coming from a complete Nintendo fanboy.

Nintendo - reign in your publishers and third-parties.

Pitfall, kind of sums up Nintendo currently doesn't it?

Although I'm all about the retro, I never got into Pitfall, and this just doesn't look that great.

Not excited.

On the contrary, I think it came out exactly right.
