    Update: Check my next comment in here for updated information!

    Original post: Exclusive presentation on some French website. It looks pretty good so far.
    Click here to watch the video as I can't embed. It looks like the PC version (duh).
    If the level sharing and multiplayer is in, this is a must have. Can anyone translate?

    Edit: Translation from Rallier:

    • Online multiplayer
    • turn based local multiplayer
    • 4 player splitscreen
    • 6 environments (desert coast stadium island snow and rally), the "B" environment is missing since they "could not" bring it to the Wii
    • Early 2010 European release
    • Level editor is there and you can send your levels to your friends
    • Puzzle Mode
    • Platform
    • New circuits

    3 control types:
    • Nunchuck/wiimote combo
    • Classic controller support
    • Motion based steering

    Sweet :-)

    Ah looks like track mania, which was an awesome game, though I'll pass on this based on the fact there's a free PC one.

    I have the free one, it's awesome, but it lacks what makes the full version perfect, the other worlds and tracks and cars.

    More news on this...

    CaVaYeRo said:

    Well, yesterday I played the game some time, asked Focus people, get some pics, etc. I really liked it, and beign so early, I think it'll be awesome. They really want to put all they can in the game.

    This is my (Spanish) report: http://www.revogamers.net/fullNews.php?newsId=4031

    I have translated some highlights:
    - “deep discussions with Nintendo” for trying to skip friend codes. They want to seamlessly include circuit sharing because D/L is almost instant, and anyone should try other’s creations, so they don’t want any barriers. (We explained Boom Blox Bash system, but then again, it’s EA’s). They'll probably use SD storage as well.
    - they want as many online players as possible. Starting with 8, but aiming at 16, more or less.
    - 200 tracks included are made with in-game Wii editor, exactly like PC one.
    - All Mario Kart control configs + NES-like, using D pad.
    - gamescom build is from last Friday (14th). It’s smooth and fast, and already has loads of tracks. Q1 2010 is still the date and keeping 60 fps, the goal.
    - snow, coast, rally, stadium, iron and island environments will be there.
    - not on PS360 because not being realistic simulator could be underrated. Also because of Wii audience, controls and input for editor
    - single / track editor / multiplayer menu and the shop. Race, platform and puzzle are back for single player, aside from “my tracks"

    Seems like the perfect game for the Wii, though I'm sure it'd do great on XBL and PSN as well.

    Ive never played these games, but it seems like the kind that needs something like a mouse to work best, so the wiimote cou;d work great.

    Wow, the marketing guys really don't know what they're doing.  I guess they'll find out soon enough.
     
    I just recently bought Trackmania United Forever on Steam (during the discount period), so I'm set for now.

    I've never played a Trackmania game before. Are they full retail price games?

    Trackmania Nations is free, but generally they're full price.

    I didn't get Trackmania myself, but I still know it was a pretty awesome game on the DS. Having it on the Wii though, well that probably wouldn't really be as much fun.

    Any reason this game can't do on retail?
