After Ubisoft's acquisition of the Driver franchise from Atari late last year, it's been revealed that the deal's first-born child will be a re-release of Driver: Parallel Lines, slated to come out on the Nintendo Wii on March 29. Just recently, Ubisoft has seen fit to let some details out of the bag regarding the game (the "Specific Wii special effects" thing sounds interesting). Read on for the dirt, straight from Aussie-Nintendo.com.

Wii Controllers Integration
Intuitive utilization of the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk for a unique sensation of driving and 3rd person action

Experience Open Environments Racing in Two Distinct Time Periods
Multiple paths to complete over 35 missions across photo-realistic 1978 & 2006 New York City

Achievement

Victory over AI and over human beings (multiplayer's a go then)
