Kav Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I've booked the 13th off with work. I'll be up playing Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 before the event!
Dcubed Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Lovely timing there, GG Nintendo! Ahh well, who needs sleep anyway?
Ashley Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Lovely timing there, GG Nintendo! Ahh well, who needs sleep anyway? Thanks for volunteering to cover it
Dcubed Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Thanks for volunteering to cover it Shoulda kept my big mouth shut... No doubt Gamexplain will probably have a 10 hour long video up quickly for me to nick everything from anyway :p
killthenet Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Even for an insomniac like me, 4am is going to be tough. I'll probably try and get to sleep early so I can wake up around 3am and be able to watch it live. At least it's a good time for the Easy Allies to get together and cover it.
liger05 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Another third party game. The Brazil Advisory Rating Board has rated Rime, the formerly Sony-owned PlayStation 4-exclusive from Tequila Works, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. When we last heard from Rime, Tequila Works had announced that it partnered with Greybox and Six Foot to publish the game in 2017. More details are due out in early 2017. http://gematsu.com/2016/12/rime-rated-ps4-xbox-one-switch-pc-brazil
killthenet Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Another third party game. http://gematsu.com/2016/12/rime-rated-ps4-xbox-one-switch-pc-brazil Awesome, Rime looks great. I had hoped it would come to the Switch when Tequila Works cancelled their exclusivity deal with Sony, so good news to see it confirmed.
Happenstance Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Its going to be interesting to see how Rime turns out. It didnt sound like they had much to show for it when Sony dropped them.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Its going to be interesting to see how Rime turns out. It didnt sound like they had much to show for it when Sony dropped them. Indeed. Apparently the game looked nothing like the trailers they showed and it was in quite a mess. I'm very curious to see what it actually looks and plays like.
Ronnie Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 The original trailer looked stunning but given the development trouble I was convinced it was never going to release. Great to hear it's been rated, and for Switch as well.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 It seems Nintendo have filed/renewed the trademark for Excite Truck. Could both this and Wave Race ( same happened for this recently ) be making a return on the Switch? Hopefully. I LOVED Excite Truck on the Wii and it would be amazing to see it make a return.

It's an incredible game. I got it a few months after launch and was hooked The music, the circuits.....<3 I seem to recall Canada being my favourite. A sequel in HD would rock and I actually think it would be the perfect game for the joy-cons, especially if they do have motion control.
Ronnie Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Excite Truck is easily one of the Wii's best games, fingers crossed this means a Switch entry...
Josh64 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 YES! I played that Canada stage so many times, it was fantastic. I would die for another Excite Truck.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Fuck yeah, I'd be all over ExciteTruck. Unless they "forget" to release it in Europe or something. *glares at ExciteBots*
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 YES! I played that Canada stage so many times, it was fantastic. I would die for another Excite Truck. ...Are you sure about that? But then how would you play?
Josh64 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 With the Nintendo Switch you can take gaming anywhere - On a plane, on the train, to a party! Why not the after life? As for Excite Bots Flink - that game was fantastic! A really great sequel, though there were moments where I thought they'd perhaps taken things a bit too far wheras Excite Truck was the perfect mix of racing and tricks. Nintendo pushed me to do naughty things with my Wii in order to play it sadly.
Ashley Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 One great thing about ExciteTruck that I can't recall being in any other Nintendo game (although my memory isn't great) was the fact you could use your own music in game. Oh how I wanted that more.

A really great sequel, though there were moments where I thought they'd perhaps taken things a bit too far wheras Excite Truck was the perfect mix of racing and tricks. Nintendo pushed me to do naughty things with my Wii in order to play it sadly. I tried to be a good man and wait for Nintendo to see some sense and release the damn thing in Europe. Still massively surprised that they didn't bother. Why go to all of that effort to make the game and not release it?! It's not like ExciteTruck was panned either; the fans loved it! One great thing about ExciteTruck that I can't recall being in any other Nintendo game (although my memory isn't great) was the fact you could use your own music in game. Oh how I wanted that more. I'm pretty sure Endless Ocean allowed you to do this, too. It was a really cool feature at the time. It wasn't an easy or ideal solution though as the playback options were extremely limited. Thank god for Spotify on PS4. I'm expecting Switch to have some options with this...

Oh how I wanted that more. That worked really well! I also liked that you weren't limited to just casually listening but you could set specific songs to specific levels and it'd remember next time. The one stage will always remind me of Rick Astley now even though that SD card with my music is long gone/lost
dazzybee Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Excite Truck was good. But I'd much prefer a new Excite Bike personally; especially after playing it again on VC!

They should just give the WiiWare version a HD makeover, slap in some party chat goodness and they would have a winner on their hands.
bob Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Maybe they could make an Excite Transport, and give you all the options, including Excite Scooter and Excite Tram.
