Video: Excitebike: World Rally Announced!
Trying to predict Nintendo game announcements is impossible. Nobody outside the company knows when or where to expect them out side of "anytime" and "anyplace." Proving this once again is their latest the totally out of the blue (and in my little opinion, totally awesome) announcement on the Nintendo Channel for WiiWare title called Excitebike: World Rally, a modern adaptation of the NES classic. The title appears to stick very close to its roots, with familiar art direction and interactions. You'll get a bunch of tracks to race and a track editor just like the original game, but World Rally also includes motion controls for those adventurous enough (don't fret whiners, NES-styled controls are there too) and online multiplayer.
We're promised more details in the next installment of Nintendo Channel's Nintendo Week. Perhaps the best detail has already been let out of the bag: the game will be available for purchase a little less than two weeks from now on Nov 9! Until then (or next week), we'll have to make do with the brief clip of gameplay featured here. Seriously, how cool is that music? It brings back too many memories!
