Pikachu and His Pals Make a Powerful Team in PokePark 2 Wonders Beyond
Players Uncover the Mystery Behind Wish Park and Rescue Missing Pokémon
REDMOND, Wash.--(February 27, in the year of our Lord
2012)-- Today’s launch of the new PokéPark 2: Wonders
Beyond game for the Wii console invites players on a new Pokémon
adventure. Pikachu and his Pals – Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig –
must work together to discover the secrets of the mysterious
Wish Park and save missing Pokémon. Players can play as any one
of these four Pokémon, and because each Pokémon has its own
unique abilities, they’ll need to switch between them to
overcome various obstacles along the way. Pikachu will encounter
new Pokémon and reunite with old favorites in a colorful array
of new areas and environments.
“The imaginative fun of the world of Pokémon really comes to
life in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond,” said Scott Moffitt,
Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales &
Marketing. “The game offers fun challenges and adventures for
Pokémon fans of all experience levels.”
As they play through the game, players will also experience fun
activities, battles and Attractions. In activities, Pikachu and
his Pals can befriend other Pokémon by playing games such as
chase and hide-and-seek, and even battles. Battles let players
go head-to-head against powerful Pokémon. Attractions range from
dancing to flying through space in a race around the stars.
Family members and friends can all join in the fun, as one to
four players can participate in Attractions, as long as each
player has his or her own Wii Remote controller, which is sold
separately.
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults
manage the content their children can access. For more
