thefro said:It'd be nice if this game had split-screen local multiplayer and let you play against CPU opponents instead of just the clock, but it's a nice package otherwise.
I assume the people I've been playing against are using waggle, but even based off renting the old NES game back in the day I've been destroying people so far.
This. I bought it last night thinking there had to be multiplayer for me and my three boys and... no, just no.goomba said:No local multiplayer? WTFFAILBBQ.
crazy monkey said:how do we get the nitro boost. I have yet to win single race online :lol . It is hard to see who the real players are and who are the bots.
Davidion said:I don't have enough space on my wii to download this.
Could strangle somebody right about now...
goomba said:Get an SD card then?
Dave Long said:I'm also like the only guy in the world using the normal controls. Everyone else is has little NES pads by their names. I'm winning/getting second regularly with them, too. Really dig the ability to wheelie and land with the tilt.
Dash Kappei said:So they fucked up the number one reason for this game being in my most wanted list?
Damn.
gogojira said:Still need to get this game, but that's really, really weak that there's no local multiplayer. I spend most of my time online gaming with friends, so I suppose it's not that huge of a deal, but Excitebike begs for local multi. Ugh.
No, it wouldn't. Y'all have to think hard about this. REALLY hard.Nicktals said:Yeah, it really seems strange that there's not at least 2 person local co-op. A vertical split would be fine.
What about horizontal? I don't see anything wrong with vs. Excitebike.jooey said:No, it wouldn't. Y'all have to think hard about this. REALLY hard.
Nicktals said:Umm...Nitro is the 1 button, for sure with classic control...and I think it's 1 for tilt controls too.
The bots are white, and don't drive like humans?? :lol That's all I can really say about that...Except that it also doesn't really matter.
Head here (link) for the online match-up thread!

To add to this:Nicktals said:Finally S ranked the last course. Unlockable spoilers below:
You unlock "Pro Controls", which uses tilt for changing lanes, and for wheelies/tilting in mid-air. You also unlock a Bike with a skull on the side.
EXCITEapparently there is no room for lower case letters in the game except the i's in "Wii"
Dude, there has been a ton of good stuff on Wiiware since launch (i.e. Nyx Quest, Bit Trip Beat, World of Goo, Toki Tori, Swords & Soldiers, Alien Crush Returns, Bonsai Barber, Contra Rebirth, Lit, & more). I swear, Wiiware is so under-rated. Games get so overlooked on Wiiware while anything even remotely interesting on XBLA or PSN gets discussed to death.gabe90 said:Looks amazing! At the right price, I may actually buy my first WiiWare game since my initial purchases on launch day.
Mockingbird said:Gah. I can't join NickTail's room for some reason. Everytime I try joining it disconnects me.
japtor said:To add to this:
With Pro Controls you can also switch to a directly behind the bike view. It's actually kinda playable, but landings that are hard as hell from this view. Oh and you can also whip the bike sideways in the air with these controls.
dkeane said:Anyone have tips on getting better times? Do you constantly do wheelies? or is it all about landing well?
It's basically just do everything well and keep on the turbo as much as possible of course. On a lot of jumps doing the wheelie jump is necessary for to clear the next obstacle cleanly. On the later courses the (!) things are pretty important since they let you jump some sections that'll make you go slow as hell too. Knowing where the cooling things are is important too, otherwise just wreck others if possible. You can also wheelie over others but I haven't figured out the timing to get the cool down consistently with it.dkeane said:Anyone have tips on getting better times?

Having lots of fun playing this.
Awesome. I've lost a couple races by .01. So annoying. :lolbluehat9 said:So I tied with someone for 1st in an online race today. Both of us got 4 points, 3rd place got one.
I wish I had a camera.
Sometime in Q1 2010...yeah sucks.Jazzem said:I will when it's released in PAL regions
