In fact, you have to tilt the Wiimote pretty far to the left just to perform a wheelie and it quickly becomes tedious, so I suggest sticking to the d-pad.Īvailable from the get-go are three modes: a single-player championship mode where new tracks and bike colors are unlocked, an online-only multiplayer mode (sorry offline fans), and a track editor. Sadly the tilt sensors don’t respond very well as the bike’s pitching has fixed animations, removing any sort of accurate motion response. Either way, bike tilting will be used to generate soft landings off ramps and to perform wheelies which allow you to catch bigger air or run over obstacles and, strangely, opponents. For those who would rather have a more classic experience, the d-pad can be used instead. To better utilize the Wiimote’s capabilities, players have a choice to control the bike’s pitch using the Wiimote’s tilt sensors. 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. Players only have an accelerate button and a turbo button at their disposal, making the sideways Wiimote position perfect for World Rally. 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. Racers speed down a constant straight-way beset with dirt jumps, ramps, and mud pits. Not much of the classic Excitebike formula has changed and remains extremely simple. I’m here to say that Excitebike: World Rally certainly lives up to all the hype Nintendo created. Speculations ran wild, but hardly anyone expected the return of Excitebike, especially since Excitebots had released not too long ago. A month or so back, Nintendo declared in their new weekly news show on the Nintendo Channel that a surprising announcement would soon be made.
