CAGiversary!
Everyone knows about Trackmania on the DS, as it was clearanced out for $10 awhile back on Gamestop and was a pretty awesome racer. Anyways I don't remember hearing at E3 that a Wii version was coming out. Lock up this topic or merge it with an existing one (I can't find it on the wonderful search engine). Here's some news from GoNintendo:

- developer is working hard with Nintendo to avoid use of friend codes (Yay!)
- may use SD card for storage
- aiming for 16 players online (whoa)
- 200 tracks
- same control configurations as Mario Kart Wii (Yay?)
- due out Q1 2010
- 60 FPS
- snow, coast, rally, stadium, 'iron' and island environments
- Wii was chosen because of control methods for both driving and track creation
- Race, platform and puzzle return for single player

Lookin' good.
 
I'd say it's going to be no different and offer NO Wii advantage for controls.

The only place where it could excel at is during track creation, since the wiimote is great for aiming dropping and such.

Otherwise, it's all the same.
 
Trackmania has been officially announced:
