New ExciteBots: Trick Racing details, Wi-Fi included

Posted by Daniel Vuckovic on 03.04.09

The first details on ExciteBots: Trick Racing have emerged since its announcement last week. From the newly released box art and small retail description we can tell that it'll take the Excite Truck game throw in some robots and fill your races with some crazy stunts and minigames. According to Nintendo "You won't believe your eyes when you find yourself shooting goals, throwing pies and even playing poker in the middle of racing robotic animals and insects around off-road tracks".

The game is being developed by Monster Games, the guys who also previously made ExciteTruck. The game is confirmed to have Wi-Fi connection play for up to 6 players.

While "mini games" never sounds good, doing them at speed in the middle of the race while pulling off tricks could be interesting. Although a far cry from ExciteTruck design-wise (although considering how well that sold it could be a blessing in disquise.

Could be awesome, you know Nintendo are the only dev. to get kid friendly racing games right. Diddy Kong Racing IS NOT that good



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
