Activision has announced the summer release of Little League World Series 2008 for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. Expected to hit stores August 5, 2008, players will have the ability to bat, pitch and field using intuitive controls developed exclusively for Nintendo's platforms.

"Little League baseball fans, players and families simply haven't had a videogame made just for them, so our goal is to fill this niche," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "Creating this game with the Little League organization has been a pleasure and we look forward to paying homage to the three million Little League players around the world today."

Featuring eight U.S. and eight international teams, deep character customization, World Series Mode, and various skill based challenges, Little League World Series offers an exciting, authentic baseball experience. Motion-sensing controls on Wii make it accessible for Little League players and parents, while the DS version gives players the freedom to get on the diamond anywhere.
