First Details of 'ExciteBots' Revealed

 
The next issue of Nintendo Power magazine drops some details on upcoming vehicular-mayhem game Excitebots: Trick Racing . The game is a Wii sequel to ExciteTruck that will feature a vehicle lineup including four-wheeled animals and insects, including bats, ladybugs, mantises, beetles and turtles. But no trucks. The trucks were jettisoned because it was felt that the wilder, more insane stunts of Excitebots called for different kids of vehicles, and you don't get much more "different" than a frog car! Like it predecessor, winning a race is secondary to looking good performing stunts, and Excitebots allows you to win a race even if you don't cross the finish line first. Check out the April Issue of Nintendo Power for the full story, or hit the "Source" link for a look at the scans! Source (link)
