Nintendo's Console Takes the Next Leap in Video Games
Description
In the grand racing tradition of Excitebike®, get ready for a big-air experience
like no other as players rocket their trucks across dynamically changing
terrain.
- Remember tilting your arms while playing Excitebike to try to make your
character land a huge jump? Well, that experience is finally a reality with
Excite Truck, a wild, off-road race only possible on Nintendo’s Wii console.
- Players hold the Wii Remote like an NES® controller to control the truck.
The 2 button is the accelerator, the 1 button is the brake, the + Control Pad
is the turbo … but that’s just the beginning. Tilt the Wii Remote right and
left like a steering wheel to steer. Once the truck goes airborne, tilt the
Wii Remote every which way to line up perfect landings for turbo boosts.
- Pick up items on the courses to make the terrain deform in real time, turning innocent bumps into massive launch pads that affect not only the player’s route, but that of his or her rivals. Players jump and bump their way to the highest score and highest finish.

Excite Truck may be short, but it’s also very fun and creative
