Images and info of ExciteBots: Trick Racing from Nintendo Power here.

 

Fun read. 

Apparently, the answer to 'why bots and not trucks?' is that they tried trucks, but felt they weren't insane enough for the incredibly insane gameplay they came up with.

 

Yeah nice info Rhonin, looks really nice like Excite Trucks did, and I'm a little more confident in the game itself lol

I feel a little better after reading that, but I think I'll need to see some video before I'm sold.

 

Pretty much how i feel. The screens definitely make it look more professional than the boxart implies, and it looks like the same basic mechanics will be there

 

I do like the fact that they might it more of a competition than strictly a race, something you could win in a more roundabout way. (like if you're .2 seconds out of first place, but you win because you played the stage better

 

"Taking Control
Of Excite Truck’s many features, best known is its Wii Remote tilt-control steering, which was a revolution when the title launched alongside the Wii. This control method is unchanged in Excitebots: you hold the remote sideways in both hands with the buttons facing up, and you tilt either side up or down (Like a seesaw) to turn left of right. Twisting the towards or away from you lets you angle the bot in midair to land on all four…"

Is this one of multiple control schemes, or is this the scheme. If so, i think it would be very awkward for the Wheel, don't you?
