Wii Games You May Have Missed: Excite Truck

Part 1. The purpose of this series of videos is to help spread the word on several Wii games which haven't sold too well. Also, since the Wii holiday lineup for 2008 isn't looking too swell, these could be potentially interesting games to check out for the shopping season, or simply games to check out in between larger releases.

NOTE: For this video (I am not sure about future ones due to time constraints), you can access subtitles for the video by turning Annotations on. This should help clear any difficulties with interpreting my voice in this video--I am sorry for this inconvenience.

The first game in this series is Excite Truck, an arcade racer that came out on the Wii's launch in 2006 in the Americas. Throughout the video, you will witness what makes Excite Truck unique, along with the many things that work well in it, and a couple things that don't work so well.

Excite Truck requires only the Wii Remote to play, and can be found at most retailers for less than $30 used.

I apologize for the occasional rough cut and audio issues in this video. In the remainder of this series' videos, I will do everything that I can to correct these issues.

This was probably the best review I have ever seen. I was very detailed and very good gameplay footage and good use of script! Keep up the good work!

[NintendoDSKid]

Hah, thanks dude. Actually, this is my least favorite video in the series due to the audio issues and my inexperience at editing videos at the time. I'm hoping to have several other videos done for more obscure Wii games in the coming months.

I never knew this game can play songs from your SD card, that's awesome!

[NintendoDSKid]

Yeah man; after I was able to get an SD card to use the feature, it almost felt like a new game. Sadly, I think that only MP3s work with it, so I had to convert a bunch of my imported iTunes stuff.

I just wanted to quickly mention that two more videos in this series are finally out for the games "Mercury Meltdown Revolution" and "Geometry Wars Galaxies." You can check them out in the video responses section above these comments.

Sorry for the delay!

[SilverCry93]

Woah you´re a really good pro!

[gearlockT]

Yeah Earthbound does rock!

[gearlockT]

Yep Excite Truck is one of the best racing games and best games for the Wii. Nice review dude!

[manofaluminum9000]

This has to be the single greatest little known game, other than EarthBound.

But why am i comparing 2 vastly diffrent games?

They both rock.
