Video game development company Destineer sent us a press release today regarding the newly announced Nintendo Wii title Summer Sports: Paradise Island. The new game should be out in March 2008.

At the beginning of this year, we ran an article indicating that the said title was spotted over at the online website of retail chain Gamestop. However, the link to Summer Sports was immediately put down at the time.

But all of that is in the past now and Destineer is more than ready and proud to make this game known. Some if its basic features include:

• Seven Addictive Games: Challenge your friends to seven different Summer Sports: Basketball, Croquet, Lawn Darts, Badminton, Volleyball, Horse Shoes, and nine uniquely-themed Mini-Golf holes. Basketball even features two distinct courts and three game types: Shot Clock, Around the World, and HORSE.
• Intuitive Wii Remote Controls: Summer Sports captures the authentic actions and motions of each sport. With distinct motions for bumps, sets and spikes in Volleyball; forehand and backhand swings in Badminton; and a completely unique Wiimote gesture for Basketball
• Island Living: Paradise Island is the ideal vacation destination, complete with the most visually pleasing environments unmatched in the genre. Every aspect of the game, from the loading screens to the characters themselves, is designed to immerse the players in the world of Paradise Island.
• Multiplayer: Up to four players can compete in multiplayer action. Play competitively or cooperatively with friends, experience both one-on-one and team-based games, and AI opponents of three different difficulty levels.
• Exciting Additional Features: Taunt your opponents with distracting noises, earn Accolades by accomplishing specific tasks during a game, and learn the definition of “squawker” in Lawn Darts!
