Disney Pixar's Cars Returns on Nintendo

Disney today announced that Cars 2: The Video Game is coming to major platforms this summer. Unveiled at the American International Toy Fair in New York City on 14th February, 2011, Cars 2: The Video Game will allow players to jump into the Cars universe with a brand new international spy theme. The game will feature an array of beloved Cars characters competing in action-packed spy adventures, as well as world-class racing. Inspired by the upcoming Disney Pixar animated film, Cars 2: The Video Game is slated for release this summer.

Cars 2: The Video Game introduces the international training centre for CHROME (Command Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorised Espionage), where players choose from one of 25 different characters such as Mater, Lightning McQueen and the newly introduced Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell and train to become world class spies. As part of their international training, they will participate in simulated hazardous missions using high-tech gadgets to evade and slow down adversaries.

Avalanche Software, the developer of Toy Story 3: The Video Game, is back in the driver’s seat for Cars 2: The Video Game, working in close collaboration with Pixar to bring the humour and personality of the feature film to life.

Cars is one of Pixar’s most successful and treasured franchises, so we are thrilled to be working with Avalanche Software again to extend our creative vision of the Cars 2 universe into the interactive medium. Avalanche Software has the technology, experience, and history in working with us to create the best-looking Cars video game to date.
