A Black Falcon Wrote:Excite Truck was a Wii launch title and probably the launch game I wanted most... it was either that or Metal Slug Anthology. I've played it a few times, great fun game. The Wiimote works well for racing games, I think... sure, controls aren't that precise so for a Wipeout or F-Zero game it might be a nightmare, but for something like Excite Truck or Mario Kart it works well enough. :)
It is disappointing that Nintendo basically dumped Excitebots out there like they did... it should have done better.
Motion+ would make worlds of difference. The wii is doing so poorly in the eyes of third parties, no one's even making a racing game that uses motion+. Why isnt there a 'Tony Hawk' game that lets you use the motion+ enabled wiimote as the skateboard and essentially 'fingerboard' by laying it on a flat surface and using your fingers as the feet, clicking the face buttons to initiate or prepare a trick? Because developers are fucking stupid and they wanted to make the skateboarding equivalent to Guitar Hero cuz "there's money in them thar hills" and in the meantime, the games that actually have a soul are going unnoticed. It's a perpetual nightmare for gameplayers. Unless you have a 360.
