Not much of the classic Excitebike formula has changed and remains extremely simple. Racers speed down a constant straight-way beset with dirt jumps, ramps, and mud pits. There is no turning, so the d-pad is limited to simply controlling which lane your bike is in and, if you choose, to control your bike's pitch. Players only have an accelerate button and a turbo button at their disposal, making the sideways Wiimote position perfect for World Rally. The bike's turbo supply is unlimited, but using it causes the engine to heat up so you must either let off the turbo until the engine cools down, or drive over one of the cooling strips that are found sporadically upon the tracks.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "This past week, Nintendo announced that after more of a decade they would be shutting down the Wii Shop Channel. Many gamers (myself included) have found memories of taking our Wii consoles online, putting in our Wii Point Card numbers and downloading a whole bunch of classic Nintendo, Sega and NEC titles onto the Wii system. But the Wii Shop Channel was also home to a whole catalogue of new games that made up the system’s WiiWare service. It was here that many of the system’s smaller and more experimental titles came into being and many of the developers that brought us these games are now responsible for big indie series’ thanks to their original success on WiiWare. So as a sort of goodbye to Nintendo’s original download service, we’re counting down the Top 20 Best WiiWare games starting with numbers 20 through 11 today (check back next Friday for 10 -1)."
