Nitrobike (Wii) Screens and Interview: from the makers of Excitebike 64

UI IGN link there :P

IGN Wii: What are you most proud of both gameplay wise and visually in regard to Nitrobike?

James Higgins: Online multi-player is probably the single biggest element from a gameplay standpoint that we're especially proud of. LFP is going to be the first 3rd party (unless someone surprises us) online Wii game and we can't wait to compete online with everyone.

Visually, we're really happy with the overall Arcade look and the intense sense of speed. We're also throwing around lots of particle effects and many of the levels are populated with spectacular collapses of environment elements.

They actually address that in the interview.

It actually looks kinda good... and it's from..Ubisoft?Travo_basic

Seems to be the only "game" they're working on for wii and not even from an internal developer.

A hobby, something people do to pass the time.

If this game is fun to play, and online is good we could have a winner. The promise is certainly there.

Don't underestimate the UbiTrash factor. Publishers have more influence over the final game quality than you think.

Looks pretty cool,though the graphics don't look so hot so far.Though online sounds great!Greyhound222

Have you checked out the trailer? It looks much better as its blazingly fast and smooth with a lot of stuff going on.

[QUOTE="ymi_basic"]What the heck is a past-time?bugsonglass

Why did they ask about the minigames from ExciteBike 64, but not a track editor? Is it already confirmed or are they just toying with me?yodariquo

Left Field haven't done much since leaving Nintendo's 2nd-party stables. I believe they made a dirtbike game for PS2 that wasn't so hot.

This one seems cool though, and Excitebike 64 was awesome back in the day. In fact, I'm hoping it gets put on Wii Virtual Console soon. Playing the old N64 games with a Gamecube controller and cleaner graphics with widescreen is just the best. *Shakes fistabout never being able to experience Goldeneye and Perfect Dark that way*

This has to be better thanthat Excite TRUCK game.
