2K Sports is proud to announce NHL 2K9 will be coming to the Wii™ Console from Nintendo this fall. As the first and only officially licensed NHL and NHLPA video game for Wii, NHL 2K9 will offer fans the fun opportunity to play like the pros using the Wii Remote™ controller as a hockey stick, and experience the sport in a new, entertaining and wholly unique manner.

• Wii Remote™ Shooting – Execute wrist shots with the flick of the Wii Remote or put some power into your stick by holding the B Button while flicking the Wii Remote to blast a slapper.
• Wii Remote Fighting – Adding a never-before-seen layer of fun to hockey video games, NHL 2K9 features on-ice showdowns. Once a fight has started, punch with the Wii Remote and balance with the Nunchuk to get your opponent off their feet.
• Precision Passing/Chain Passing – Take the guesswork out of which player is going to receive a pass by selecting players with the Wii Remote cursor. One-timers, give-and-gos and tic-tac-toe passing are executed by selecting multiple players prior to pressing the pass or A button.
• Wii Remote Goaltending – Gesture-based goaltending allows gamers to get between the pipes and flash the leather. Even take control when it counts the most – in shootouts!
• Full-Featured Gameplay – NHL 2K9 Wii offers a fullfeatured, fun hockey experience complete with Franchise mode, Zamboni™ races, Superstar Moves and more!
