This is going to be awesome, but I bet it will be about 1000 points. I hope it will be only 500.

When is the european release??
I reckon it'll be 1000 points. This could be the best Wiiware game to date.

For those who are wondering, the online is like Mario Kart Wii. As in, zero lag.

No local multiplayer? Any chance for it to have a two player mode, at least, like the Jap-only 1987 famicom disk system game "Vs. Excitebike"? That would be sweet! Or even if you could unlock the original, too!

Fun and challenging game. I'm still crashing and overheating a lot but having fun doing it. My one beef is with the motion control. I intuitively want to pull or tilt back on the remote to pop a wheelie but they have you tilt left to do this and tilt right to pitch forward. Still getting used to that. Perhaps I should give classic controls a try? Don't let this dissuade you though. It's basically fun and getting into an online race is quick and easy. I won't play it for hours at a stretch but it's good arcade fun in short spurts. Just don't overheat and sputter out. I hate when that happens ; >

BTW, what do the yellow stars after game reviews or descriptions mean?

We ever going to see a review of this game? DIdn't expect it to be the last one done of the 3 WW games this week.

cash in if i ever saw one. However, looks just as fun as the original. Doubt i'll be buying it though, its an exact copy of the original with a graphic update. IGN gave it a 7.9.

Looks like buying the original Excitebikes on VC was a waste of money...

It seems it will have a nice review! This might be my first WiiWare game then.

" its an exact copy of the original with a graphic update."
Did the original have shifting terrain, unlockable bikes, and online play?
