REDWOOD CITY, CA. – November 11, 2008 – Hudson Entertainment, the North
American publishing arm of HUDSON SOFT, today announced that they will
bring Pit Crew Panic!, an all-new “panic-action” game, to WiiWare.

repairs a variety of bizarre “WHATSITS” as fast as they can.

“Pit Crew Panic is crazy enough when playing alone,” said Sabine
Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment.

it goes beyond crazy. Endeavoring mechanics will find that it’s a ton
of fun when there are four people waving Wii Remotes around to fix
parts on a giant broken toilet!”
