lol at everyone getting owned with the description :P

Before I looked at the description I assumed you'd be doing all those crazy minigame-esque things while racing and I actually think that'd be pretty exciting and would add more challenge to the game.

 

Looks like you absolutely will be doing those things while racing. Check out the screens here, complete with poker, pies, and rocket launchers:

Oh i see. That actually looks kick ass. I was assuming something much worse (basically the game stops all racers for some pointless minigame)

 

Amazing what facts will do to break up FUD

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

What did you just say about the best racing game on the N64???????????????

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.

As a few others pointed out, the guy who wrote this article has no clue about sales.

“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.

6 players for multiplayer? Mario Kart Wii had 12.



Maynard_Tool on 03 March 2009

Excite truck is really good, i hope this game will follow

didn't the original only provide 6 cars in any race? If it means more detail and speed who cares

I know I'm buying. I think it will still be very challenging. Some people can't see genius at work anyhow. To get an S-rank you need to be able to combine all these elements whilst going at blistering pace. Its not as childish as some of you think by just seeing boxart. Seriously sometimes I just hate videogame fans. Go play your burnout and leave us alone.
