I don't care what they say, that is just the Excite Truck engine with bikes dropped in. Nothing wrong with that mind as ET was great apart from being too short and no online so this should be ace. I just hope it doesn't use crappy friends codes.

Why, everytime a Wii game goes online do people say they hope it doesn't use friend codes, when it's blatantly going to use friend codes.

Friend codes are what Nintendo machines use for online. Everyone has made their feelings clear on this. All further comment is boring

It depends on what you mean by friends codes. They could use the system friend codes we already have and I don't have a problem with that at all. Using different codes for individual games is totally unnecessary though and just because Nintendo have done individual ones in the past it doesn't mean they will necessarily do so again when they already have a suitable replacement system in place.

Sorry, I'll take my constructive criticism to the Sony thread where apparently it's acceptable.

Like Fog says. I think the problem is when games use their own friends codes rather than the system one. I'm looking at you Endless Ocean.

That and friends codes are shit of course.

I hate all this Wii code, friend code rubbish, whats wrong with a unique username used for everything, works pretty well on xbox live?

And as for the star points to wii points fiasco, i'm guessing it must be someone's idea of a joke as thats the only way it could intentionally be so utterly shit. I've still not managed to get any.

Is it though?

I don't know how true it is but I've read the game is done by a completely different company and despite appearances they actually have bugger all in common.

Yeah that's what I meant

It is being developed from the ground up by a totally different company but it looks pretty much identical in ever way. Like I say, that's no bad thing as the ET one is sound, but they could have saved themselves a lot of time and effort.

Heh yeah and it actually puts me off a bit...

I was all for Excite truck with more tracks and online play. Nitro-bike may well play and handle completely differently.
