Dick Dastardly To Pursue Penelope Pitstop On Wii & DS
For those of us who had childhoods way back in the late 60's and early 70's, or for young'uns who appreciate the Boomerang reruns, Eidos Interactive is bringing retro Hanna-Barbera classic Wacky Races to the Wii and DS.
Players can race through a variety of cross-country rallies from the TV series, shooting for the title of World's Wackiest Racer. Racers can also earn "Wacky Powers" to use against their opponents by collecting items on the racetrack.
No word yet if we'll be able to play as Penelope Pitstop driving her Compact Pussycat 05, but I know plenty of boys around the castle who are already pulling out their pink driving getups.

Ahh.. the good old days... Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal laughing at dick dastardly's attempts in vain to capture miss penelope!
Good time realy...
I wonder if the wii version is a port of the old dreamcast game - which was kinda fun, though a bit shallow. With all the PS2 ports going to Wii it seems weird to see an even MORE "last-gen" game coming to the system.
Don't forget muttley, I wish I had boomerang to watch that show.
