If I don't import the Wii itself then I'll definitely be importing this title, unless it comes out within a week or 2.

 

Old thread bump! :D

 

How lovely is it when you plunder your back catalogue and rediscover an old flame? Been playing this again a lot recently, and I stand by my comments years ago that this is one of the best Wii games and a complete joy. What's so startling is how it seemed to hit the ground running with some amazing controls and levels so early in the Wii's lifespan. There's nothing like grabbing big air and hearing the whoosh of space and the music stop as you drop back to earth with a thump on top of a rival and a cheeky boost. A classic Wii gaming moment for me.

 

I'll never forgive some of the low scores it got at the time (Edge 6/10! WTF??), but I think time has revealed the true diamond within and it has quite the following now. For me this is easily the racing classic that the Wii needed and like F-Zero GX on the GC before it, it deserves to be remembered as such.

 

If any of you are craving a truly great Wii racer and you haven't played this...where were you? Try and get it now if you can.

 

I saw Cube playing this at Extra Life and had to dig it out myself.

 

Absolutely one of the best Wii games. One of the best motion control games. Classic. So arcadey. So fun. Fast. Awesome.
