Nintendo announces Excitebots for Wii News
Wii News by Oli Welsh
Nintendo of America announced a surprise new Wii game yesterday in a bumper list of release dates for the region. Excitebots: Trick Racing follows in the tradition of the Excitebike and Excite Truck arcade racers, and is out on April 20th in a bundle with the Wii Wheel accessory.
We contacted Nintendo of Europe to see if the mystery game would be coming out over here, but a spokesperson said they couldn't confirm anything at this time.
Despite its imminent release date, details on Excitebots are extremely scarce, which doesn't exactly bode well. Gamasutra says it will feature "unique and changing environments", minigames, and tricks.
Punch Out!!, the Wii revival of the NES and SNES cartoon boxing game, was also given a firm US release date in the list - 18th May. Other notable release dates include May 4th for the New Play Control! remake of the marvellous Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and June for SEGA shooter The Conduit.
There was one notable omission - Wii Sports Resort, Nintendo's launch-pad for the Wii MotionPlus add-on, which had originally been scheduled for a second-quarter release too.
We'll bring you European release dates for these games as soon as we have them.

i wouldn't put too much stock in the announcement being close to release as not boding well. Have nintendo not stated numerous times that they are no longer announcing titles too long before release so they do not get overhyped and/or analysed to death before people even have the game in their hands?

Made me think of Unirally/UniRacers for some reason.
Me too. I'm looking forward to it, loved ExciteTruck. |

You could also take the more cynical (probably more realistic too) view that the reason they do this is to get people to buy the games even if they turn out to be a bit shit.
