Updated Gretzky NHL '06 Screens

The NHL is back! The draft is this weekend, rosters and rules are changing... What better time then to get some new Gretzky NHL '06 screenshots?

Due to hit stores in September (PS2) and October (PSP), Gretzky NHL '06 is set to retake the virtual ice with an all-new mode that is easy to pick and for the new hockey fan or casual gamer, yet incorporates all the hard hitting ,fast paced action that hard-core hockey fans crave from their sport... plus it provides an opportunity to skate with "the Great One."

The All-New Wayne vs. Wayne Mode Prepare for fast-paced, arcade-style action where gamers have a chance to activate Wayne Gretzky and play with or face him over the course of a heated game. Executing specific actions during a game, such as playing good tough defense and sharing the puck to set up combos, allows players to accumulate and achieve “99 Time,” where Gretzky becomes a temporary playable teammate. Players can add him for a six-on-five offensive attack or attempt to defend against him in the same formation. To convey the confidence growth that teammates would have with Gretzky joining on the ice, players increase by 15% visually and also get a 5% increase in attributes making them faster, smarter, harder hitting, etc.

Gamers can achieve "99 Time" several times throughout the 3 periods and each time a gamer activates Wayne, they will receive a letter spelling out W-A-Y-N-E. For the ultimate line-up, gamers who activate Gretzky 5 times in one game and spell out W-A-Y-N-E are then able to have five playable versions of Gretzky on the ice at the same time.

 

With the spelling of W-A-Y-N-E, Tampa Bay has gained the services of 5 Waynes at once for the remainder of the game.  In this shot, 3 oversized Waynes chase down a loose puck.  Not only do Wayne and his teammates grow 15% bigger during Wayne Time, but their skills improve by 10% as well.  I’d hate to be this Ranger!
