I saw someone recommend this product, and the price is reasonable ($25 from Best Buy): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7196964&st=component&type=product&id=1113534250337 I purchased a MadCatz switch from Gamestop for $30 and it is great, but I don't see it being sold much anymore.

I guess I just compare this to the Waverace games, which were equally as short if not shorter. I was happy with the length then and I'm happy with this one here too. I do think it would be cool to have tracks with more crazy elements, as with Beetle Adventure Racing.

I agree, those features would be great and aren't unreasonable. I guess my point is, a lot of reviews bring up a similar list and use it to argue that the game "lacks depth" and is ultimately mediocre, both of which couldn't be farther from the truth. What you have with Excite Truck is a true...

I'm not sure about that. If you send a Mii to a friend, does it include all the accomplishments? If so, you could find a friend to use as a backup for all your Miis. Heck, you could even send your Miis from the old Wii to the new Wii since you'll have them both there together.

If you like arcade racing games, be sure to try Wave Race: Blue Storm. I like most of the games the others mentioned above. RE4, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Super Mario Sunshine, and Wind Waker are all great games. Personally I dislike Baten Kaitos though.

While I understand people often want more stuff, let's keep in mind that the number of tracks or extra features isn't what makes this a good or bad game. I'll agree with the previous poster who said it may be the best arcade racer ever. Time will tell if I continue to think so. They've created...

Hehe, it's not like they had to flip the world just to make him left handed :)

Can you hear the fans spinning? It's also possible that you have a poorly seated heat sink somewhere. Personally I'd call Nintendo so they can replace it.

I'm pretty sure all G routers and beyond also work with B devices. You don't even have to switch modes. For instance, my wireless-G card for my PC works at the same time as my wireless-B Nintendo DS.

Well, I hit my goal of 3000 today, and I'm sitting at 3005. Talk about diminishing returns! Near-perfect victories were giving me 5 or 6 points, while a 1-knockdown victory had me losing as many as 26 points! At that rate it would take me a minimum of 200 more victories, but more likely the...

Next time: safe mode. ;)

For Boxing, and probably for the other sports, that's not really true. Once you get pretty high it becomes more and more stingy with points. One time I won a boxing match and actually *lost* 40 points!

That's what I'm going to do, and it's going to be tough.

I played last night and after about 10 wins I made zero progress. I started at around 2780, lost a few points after a knockdown, and then I made the unforgivable mistake of getting knocked down twice during a match. 40 point mistake!!! I spent the rest of my time gaining back what I lost.

You know, it's actually starting to get interesting. I haven't still haven't lost since I took on Matt, but the game is starting to be far more critical of my performances. I'm at 2700+ right now, and if I get knocked down even one time during a match it has me lose up to 20 points! The most I...
