Excitebike: World Rally – IGN Hands-On

Looks like this was probably the game IGN was talking about in their podcast.  They’ve had 2 weeks of hands-on with the game, and are now willing to tell all.  Here are some highlights of their article, compiled by GoNintendo.

• 60fps
• wheelie over slow-moving opponents
• ram your front tire into opponents to knock them down, and cool your engine
• race locations: Japan, Mexico, London, US
• multiple circuits
• earn ranks after races to move onto the next
• rank A or B and move on, rank C or lower and you have to race again
• S rank returns
• motion controls have you tilt Wiimote left/right to wheelie
• classic control plays just like the NES version
• game records best times, and marks each best time with an icon to let everyone know what control scheme you used
• change camera angle by pressing A
• new camera angel is angled, and gives you a better look down the track
• replay mode lets you watch the race you just finished
• create and save tracks with the track builder
• send created tracks to friends
• race random players online, or use friend codes
