All the high-octane action and risky business that fans crave from the Hardy Boys will all come to fruitation with their very first Wii game. And no, I’m not talking about the charismatic enigma and his bow-legged brother Jeff and Matt Hardy, I’m talking about the original deduction-duo, Joe and Frank Hardy.
“The Hardy Boys for Wii is an excellent choice in games suitable for the whole family. It incorporates an enjoyable story, likeable characters and challenging puzzles,” said Dan Dawang, Product Manager at The Adventure Company. “It’s a non-violent video game option that players of all ages and fans of The Hardy Boys book series can become a part of with the immersive gameplay style of Wii.” The Adventure Company, in collaboration with JoWood, is re-releasing the 2008 Windows title, The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft for the Nintendo Wii this September. The game will see Joe and Frank trying to tie-up loose ends to a mansion robbery that just keeps escalating with intrigue and becoming more complicated and more sinister. Soon, the mystery-solving brothers find themselves trying to stop a crime from happening that takes them from Bayport to New York City. The game will be available for the Nintendo Wii for the suggested retail price of $29.99.
