Please stop complaining that Nintendo forgot about the core gamers. Unless this doesn't look like fun, in which case, feel free to keep complaining about how Nintendo has forgotten us core gamers.

Game looks mad goofy and fun. Hope the multiplayer is better than Excite Trucks though.

 

[Skrah]

If the items are optional I'm getting it.

I think you missed the point of the game, but O.K.

 

[Skrah]

Lol I know, but I want to be able to race without minigames too. I just find it really stupid that in the middle of the race you have to throw a pie at a clown. Like wtf? Other than that the game looks awesome.

I think the point of Excitebots was to put as much WTF into a game as possible, and then come up with a franchise for it later.

I might consider getting it. Obviously, like most other cartoony racing games that's not Mario Kart, it'll be better and take more skill than any Mario Kart game. Plus those vehicles were cool.

Of course, you KNOW this game will bomb because the 'hardcore' won't buy it because it's not Mario Kart. lol

Edit: The release date says 4/20 and there's NO 420 joke? WTH guys? Fine, I'll make one.

"It's obvious that this game comes with free MJ. I mean, who would pass on free pot?"

 

[M.K]

I think this game looks mad fun. The trailer intrigues me and the people who have played it rave about it.

 

[GreenKirby]

Well, I'm gonna get this game today, but i won't be able to play it until next Friday.

And once again, here's another Nintendo game that's hardcore but the stupid Nintendo 'hardcore' ignores it because Mario/Zelda isn't in the title. *sigh* Seriously how long will the "two snakes eat other by the tail" relationship between Nintendo and its whiny fans go on before both sides actually get the hint?

Edit: This game comes automatically with the Wii Wheel.

 

[rinoH]

this game is awsome i just got it and the online is so smooth and you can buy the game without the wheel for 10$ cheaper

 

[Unseen_Killa]

Honestly guys, this game is crazyyyyyy fun. The game's items are nothing like Mario Kart, and this game is crazy fast. You can NOT ignore this one. The reviews I saw for this game are such bs, this is probably the best racer for Wii right now. On top of this, the game is only $50 or $40 if you don't get the Wii Wheel (I already had the wheel from ****ty Mario Kart, so I only paid $40). On top of that, even though you have to use the Wiimote and/or wheel, this game's controls felt surprisingly crisp and precise.

Here's one of the farther levels that I havn't even gotten to:

Gamespot gave this game an 8.0.

But it could have been worse. It could have been 8.8, MIRITE!

What's the reference?

Is it the 8.8 they gave Twilight Princess?

 

[GreenKirby]

Yes, somehow an 8.8 is worse than 1.0.

 

[Unseen_Killa]

I wouldn't trust reviews for this game, this is one of my favorite games I've played in a whillllllllle. It feels so awesome to do like a bunch of shortcuts in a row, lol.

 

[M.K]

This is a wonderful game!
The little "tricks" are incorporated seamlessly, and you really get a good feeling when you launch yourself from a pole at high speeds or bowl over all the pins to get major stars!

Your saying that popping a bowling alley in front of the race track is "seamless?"

Although I will probably get this because I have a high threshold and enjoyment of randomness.
