High-Octane Stunts, Unexpected Twists and Online Competition Highlight New Motion-Controlled Racing Game

REDMOND, Wash., April 20, 2009 – Not even the craziest morning commute can compare to the outrageous behind-the-wheel action of Excitebots™: Trick Racing, launching today exclusively for Nintendo’s top-selling Wii™ console. Combining high-speed racing thrills with gravity-defying stunts and support for online action via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, the game pushes the full-throttle fun of the Excite franchise into the red.

Expanding upon the fast-paced action of Excite Truck™, Excitebots™: Trick Racing puts players in command of wild robotic vehicles styled to look like animals and insects. Players must drive, sprint and fly around the track to earn stars, performing wild stunts to boost their score while racing with an incredible burst of speed. The game puts the built-in wireless features of the Wii system to use, allowing as many as six friends to compete online using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can also trade ghost data via WiiConnect24™ and challenge each other to outdo their most dazzling tricks. Excitebots: Trick Racing uses the Wii Wheel™ accessory to let drivers pick up and play with ease, combining familiar steering motions with unique special moves such as turbo bursts, power slides and huge jumps.
