Activision has announced "Pitfall: The Big Adventure" for the Nintendo Wii is in development and will swing onto shelves this Fall.

"Pitfall is one of the most legendary franchises in the history of videogames, so we look forward to releasing a new version exclusively for Wii," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "What could be more fun than using the Wii Remote to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?!"

The game will feature over 60 levels spanning lush rainforests, creature-filled caves, and glacial mountains. Within these dynamic worlds, players will explore cavernous jungles, discover lost treasures, battle shamans, narrowly escape treacherous traps and outwit creatures using game mechanics developed specifically to take advantage of the Wii motion sensing controls.
