Excite Bike: World Rally is less than two weeks away and was a surprise announcement to nearly everyone when it debuted on the Nintendo Week show this week. I'm totally excited for this game and will have to get some friend codes from you guys to play when it comes out. If it's anything like the original it will have hours of play time on my system. The following are some of the details we know about the game. These come courtesy of the IGN Nintendo Voice Chat podcast. * 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

I'm definitely picking this up day one; I'll be sure to give you my friend code ASAP.
I think, aside from online play, my new favorite feature is the 45 degree camera angle that you can use. It looks like it might make it a bit easier to see what's coming and give you a chance to avoid it.
Of course, you have to try it once, but then again, old school may still be the way to go. I'll be posting my friend code on the site for anyone that wants it and you'll be seeing a review very soon after the game is launched.
