Activision today announced that it is developing Little League World Series 2008. The game will release on Wii and DS, with batting, pitching and fielding controls being made to take advantage of those platforms' particular strengths. Little League World Series 2008 will feature eight U.S. and eight international teams.

"Little League baseball fans, players and families simply haven't had a videogame made just for them, so our goal is to fill this niche," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "Creating this game with the Little League organization has been a pleasure and we look forward to paying homage to the three million Little League players around the world today."

"Activision has captured the essence of what makes Little League so wonderful for players and spectators alike," Jud Rogers, Sr. Marketing Executive, Little League International. "We look forward to working with them in the upcoming months to help polish the game and bring it to Little Leaguers and fans."
