Konami announces the title we've all been waiting for...

 

GTI Club Supermini Festa!

 

"GTI Club wheel spins on to Wii

Konami’s latest coin-op racer heads to new pastures

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is bringing its classic GTI Club racing franchise to Wii early next year, in the form of GTI Club Supermini Festa! (provisional title).

 

Currently scheduled for a Spring 2010 release, GTI Club Supermini Festa! is based on the latest arcade iteration of the long-running series, and charges the player with racing a series of compact cars around a series of citiscapes across France, the UK, Italy, the US, and Japan. Everything about the game is geared towards searing speed and intuitive handling, with players tussling with CPU-controlled cars or their friends through busy streets as they attempt to be the first past the winning line.

 

 

Every stage has been designed for total freedom, with secret short cuts to find and steep hills and hairpin bends designed to test the player’s skill. Control is everything, and the Wii game enjoys beautifully balanced control systems that allow users to slide deftly around corners, whiz through extremely tight alleyways to bypass the other cars, and perform handbrake turns to shave vital seconds from lap times. In addition to the twelve cars from the arcade version, Konami is planning to add four more licensed cars to the mix, each offering different handling and acceleration balance.

 

GTI Club Supermini Festa! offers two key solo options, with Arcade offering a straight replication of the coin-op, while the new GTI Quest is a tour of the world, with a series of key objectives. Multi-player elements also play a massive part in the game, with the arcade game’s four-player mode faithfully recreated via a split-screen mode and online via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection’s online capabilities. Online, the game can be played as either a straight racer or as a series of fun sub-games including Bomb Tag and football.

 

Everything about GTI Club Supermini Festa! has been designed to give the player a feeling of sheer speed and total control, and users can also add a personal touch to their car via the extensive customisation features in the game’s Garage section."

Cardboardpeople ahoy!

 

Ah, those lovely grapics take me back to the early DC-days. Just not in a good way. I'm no graphic-whore, but are they even trying? Sure it's based on a old arcade game, but would it hurt to update the visuals just a bit?

The PSN one was was an old arcade racer (which was amaizng and I was addicted to; first game I remember that just had a level to race around rather than a linear track!!)

 

This...I can't see it...

 

Maybe I should give it another go.

 

Graphically I'll bet you can't tell them apart!

 

Not any more. I've been blinded. :heh:

 

It looks like an ugly version of GT for the PSP.

Amazing game. One of the two reasons I got a Dreamcast and the only reason I got an Xbox, then a 360.

This is the worst screenshot I have seen in recent memory. Seriously, it's N64 graphics.
