The 2008 edition of the MotoGP franchise is the first time a single developer, Capcom, will bring the game to all current system platforms. This also marks the first time in recent years that the 125cc and 250cc support classes are available in addition to the MotoGP class.
The Wii edition, as with most Wii ports, makes use of the Wii remote as the handlebars of the motorcycle to bring a much more realistic feel to the title.
Capcom editions have carried a reputation for a more realistic sim racer than the MotoGP games published by THQ, who have been acused of a more arcadey style. Capcom has allowed players to customize their experience between these two styles of gameplay for MotoGP 08.
