Portlett Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 i loved excite truck but somehow this seems like its gonna be marketed to the casual ie exciting new mini games....but I hope im wrong and I hope its as good as excite truck was with online features.

DiemetriX Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I hate the new name though. Loved the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 sounds like 'transformers racing' to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 WTF is an Excitebot?!! Guess we'll find out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 "Excitebots™: Trick Racing has elements that make it one of the more unique racing games on the market. It launches April 20 and lets everyone in the family use the Wii Wheel™ accessory in unique and changing environments, play fun minigames and perform crazy tricks in a game that builds on the Excitebike™ and Excite Truck™ franchises". http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=12934 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Again this shows Nintendo's new marketing strategy. Announced with next to no info 1 month and 25 days prior to relase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hope this is a decent effort! A last minute 'diddy kong racing' and not some piece of junk!... which would be very unlike Nintendo... but then so is this announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Excitebots? I guess it's a forum spam program, kinda like xbots :P No, but seriously, I hope it's going to be like Excitetrucks, only with motorcycles, trucks and smaller rally cars. Then it would whup Motorstorms arse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teppo Holmqvist Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hope this is a decent effort! If it is from Monster Games, it has been under development for more than two years. They started their next title immediately after Excite Truck was done, and finished it about month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This MUST be monster game's title. I'm not to keen on the mini games aspect of it. Hopefully the mini games are optional like in New Super Mario Bros./Mario 64 DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I just don't get the 'bots' bit! It seems to rule out 'standard' vehicles... Maybe you build your own? maybe they hover? or maybe you can transform mid-race between land and sea vehicles [...and air? though that wouldn't really work with the terrain thing]!

nekunando Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I don't care how good the game is or how shallow this sounds.. but that name has got to change.. absolutely awful Having said that, if it is a sequel to Excite Truck then the name may be the only complaint.. I love that game : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If it's like Excitetruck and more count me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My guess is that it will be similar to Trickstyle/Airblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm dubious, but I've also quite a bit of faith in Monster Games. If marketing it as a kiddy mini-game collection is what it takes to sell, then that's absolutely fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Excite Truck was a brilliant game, so if Excitebots builds on that, I'll be very happy. I won't get too excited until we get more details, though - like most people, I hope it isn't just minigames, and there's a substantial racer, at least the size of Excite Truck, in there.

Zechs Merquise Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 This sounds utterly awful. A mini-game fest with a stupid name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 So, what we think is a new addition to the ExciteSeries should have us all excited. I must admit, I expected to come in here and see more positive reactions. I'm not the least bit disappointed with details about this game. Rather, I have to say that I'm very disappointed with the reactions from the forumers. Three words. Three Words. "Play Fun Minigames." Does it say what mini-games? Did any of you stop to think that these could be similar to the Challenge Mode (And Super Challenge Mode) sections from ExciteTruck, but expanded? And this is supposed to be a bad thing? Yeah, we haven't had many details about this until now, but did we even have that with the first game. That is why so many of us loved it. It was understated, and it quietly went about its business and did the job effectively. That is why I consider it to be one of the cult games on the Wii. Maybe we should rename this site to Negative-Europe. This is definitely not the first time that fans have cried murder over so little information.

Deathborn Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe we should rename this site to Negative-Europe. This is definitely not the first time that fans have cried murder over so little information. Agreed. They mention mini-games so the game is built around this? It seems to me they say it's a racing game and put more emphasis on it... Sonic and the Secret Rings is also a minigame fest I guess. No More Heroes too.
