MotoGP 08 will be arriving on the Wii next week. It's taken some time, considering the other game systems have had MotoGP 08 since October 2008, but this is the first time the series comes to the Wii, and uses the unique motion control features. From Capcom: MotoGP turns the Wii remote into a virtual set of handlebars to deliver the definitive two-wheeled racing experience. The development team's overriding aim is to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access points for gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide a challenge to meet each player's abilities.
