Wacky Races: Crash & Dash: details, screenshots, and video

Just a few days ago, we covered a rumor that Eidos Interactive will be releasing a new game based on the old Wacky Races cartoon series. The company has confirmed the rumors as true, officially announcing Wacky Races: Crash & Dash for both the Nintendo Wii and DS. To find out more about this upcoming title, head on over to the full article for more information.

It looks like the rumors are true. Eidos Interactive has announced that it will be releasing Wacky Races: Crash & Dash on the Nintendo Wii and DS this June 2008.

Based on the Hanna-Barbara cartoon which originally came out in 1968, the game has all eleven characters and vehicles including Peter Perfect’s Turbo Terrific, Penelope Pitstop’s Compact Pussycat, and even the Slag Brothers’ Bouldermobile.

Much like the cartoons, players are tasked with winning a set number of races in the hope of being crowned the world’s wackiest racer. To help accomplish this goal, various power-ups are available to help speed up your vehicle or take down other vehicles.

If you’re interested in picking up this title, we’re pretty sure that you’d want to see some screenshots and a video of the game in action, so here are some assets from the game. Enjoy!
