I think this game would lend to a multiplayer party better... 4 people sitting on a sofa could have a blast with this.

Blake, did you feel like there was lag? Or was it tight, but just different (and could get used to with time)?

maybe you were having trouble steering because your "monster mudders" are either packed with mud or are almost bald?

I've only seen the short bits of gameplay from the press conf. yesterday but the game looked crappy and not too much fun either. Does the game look decent? Did you enjoy the little bit of time you got with the demo?

I'll just pick up the original Excite Bike (one of my favorites) on the virtual console ;-)

Hey Brian did you even read the impression:

"the game does a nice job at bringing back the traditional fun of Excite Bike in a 3D, motion sensing world."

Yeah I read that, I was hoping for a little more elaboration. Was it actually fun on its own or did it just remind him of the fun he had 22 years ago? It's probably the only Nintendo first-party games announced yesterday that didn't excite me in the least. Pardon the pun.

Well IGN and Gamespot both also said the game seemed like a lot of fun and a little faced paced and hectic.

"1. I think this game would lend to a multiplayer party better... 4 people sitting on a sofa could have a blast with this."

Isnt that what the whole console is all about ?

Would you really stand in front of your TV alone waving arms all evening?

Would you play singstar alone in your room?

This isnt a single player console in my opinion. The games probably are fun at a party but just dont fit in a sigle player session.

Doubtful as games like Metroid Prime, Zelda, etc. are more single player affairs.

Excite truck, like Mario kart however is the type of game meant for party/online play more than single player

Seems like the first party games are more polished at this point than the third party stuff.

Dreizehnernuss, I was mostly comparing it to the tennis game... as it looks like it needs a whole stage for 4 people to play. I think multiplayer over the network could be fun with friends as well.

Ooh, someone mentioned Mario Kart above. This would give a lot of headway as to just how a Mario Kart Wii would play in similar aspects. Powerslides with that controller would probably be a lot of fun.

The face buttons playing the role of accelerator and brake, meanwhile, the trigger button underneat would be optimal for the fire button of your weapons. It would be very interesting to say the least.

I think a lot of Excite Truck's main appeal will be the fact that the game looks crisp and clean, and is EXTREMELY fast while doing so. I think its a one-two punch that garnered the Burnout series a lot of love from its fans, so it should be most welcomed by a lot of the gamers that enjoyed that series.
