Conspiracy Entertainment has partnered with Epicenter Studios, developers of Real Heroes: Firefighters, to bring a new casual title to the Nintendo Wii console. The wii motion controls should fit right in with a game which “puts players in the soon-to-be soot-stained boots of a rookie firefighter who has just been assigned to a busy metropolitan fire station.”

The wii remote will allow you to work with realistic firefighter tools to save people from the deadly forces of fire. Epicenter CEO Nathaniel McClure says the game will be family friendly as the Wii has been intended allowing everyone to play the game as a family. “Because firefighting requires a lot more than dousing flames, Real Heroes emphasizes non-violent, game-integral puzzles that mirror the challenges and on-the-fly choices firefighters actually face.”

It seems the Wii continues to build gaming momentum as each month progresses. At first, it seemed the Wii could be in for a bunch of game flops but lately we’re seeing great quality titles. As long as we get one sweet title every other month this momentum should continue. Right now, we’re eagerly awaiting Boom Blox, a Steven Spielberg casual gaming title. How can the man who created the movie Gremlins let us down?

For the full press release on Real Heroes: Firefighters, read on.

Conspiracy Entertainment Partners with Epicenter Studios to Distribute Wii ‘Real Heroes: Firefighters’

Conspiracy Entertainment, a developer, publisher and marketer of interactive entertainment software in North America and Western Europe, announced today that it has entered into a publishing agreement with Epicenter Studios, developer of Real Heroes: Firefighters (”Real Heroes”), the fire-fighting action game exclusively designed for the Nintendo Wii. According to the agreement, Conspiracy has the rights to market, sell and distribute Real Heroes in the US, Canada, Mexico and South America. Conspiracy expects to begin distribution in the 2nd Quarter of 2009.

Real Heroes emphasizes non-violent, game-integral puzzles that mirror the challenges and on-the-fly choices firefighters face every day. Featuring Epicenter’s proprietary “Thinking Fire” technology, Real Heroes’ blazes will seem almost alive as they not only attack structures, potential victims and firefighters, but also cause unexpected changes to the environments that will suddenly alter the player’s options and strategies. No two scenarios will play out the same way.

“The motion sensing capability of the Wii Remote, combined with Epicenter’s intuitive fire technology, equips anyone to step into the role of rookie firefighter,” said Sirus Ahmadi, CEO of Conspiracy Entertainment. “Not only is this game thrilling, but its realistic action pays homage to the nation’s real firefighters and is appropriate for the whole family.”

Epicenter CEO Nathaniel McClure, “We are favorably impressed by Conspiracy’s flexibility and industry expertise in reaching the North American marketplace. We look forward to a successful product launch next year.”

Keith Tanaka, CFO of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, “We are pleased to add Real Heroes to our product line up for 2009. Designed by some of the world’s top gaming producers, the early buzz on Real Heroes has been very positive. We anticipate a very busy year into 2009, including distribution of this highly-anticipated release.”
