NASCAR Kart Racing pits on Wii

This looks like rubbish and it's not even rubbish PS3 and 360 owners can complain about. I mean 14 drivers. EA is ruining NASCAR games and they need to give the rights to maybe CODEMASTERS or someone else who knows how to make a decent racing game.

NASCAR games have not been on Nintendo since 2004 and EA now makes a NASCAR game for only Nintendo. This is the first year in over ten years that a NASCAR game will not be on a Playstation console. Sounds like rubbish to me. But seriously, 14 drivers, come on EA step it up.

Im going to add this one to my wishlist right away!

My ps3 definitely gets more play time than my Wii, but this game looks like a good one to play when your friends come over. Mario kart wii was a hit with my friends and I think this will be just as fun with a slightly different spin on it.

Love Mario Kart Wii but I've wanted a more serious karting game for so long! I hope this delivers.

I hate EA for buying major frachises and making them into generic games. I hate third-party developers for hashing out low-budgit games on the Wii. Now I have two reasons to not like EA.

14? lol

There are reasons my Nintendo gets no action.

I'm not sure if 14 drivers would be passable on the PS2........seriously, and if it's like mario kart, i can't wait to get the Bud Light power-up, which will act as star power.......and the bullet to the front will be the fed-ex guy or something...

If it has Mario Kart styled controls with some real racing gameplay, I'll bite.

Yeah, this sounds lame to most of us. EA is just trying to appeal to the broad casual gamer demographic that seems to be gobbling up the Wii consoles. That is what most devs are doing when it comes to Nintendo's console. It makes good business sense for them to go after the broadest spectrum of perspective customers. We can complain about the lack of AAA titles for the Wii all we want. The truth is, the core gamer is a minority. They don't cater to us because we don't matter to them.

Lets see XBOX 360 users are getting FORZA and Project Gotham Racing PS3 users are getting Gran turismo. While both consoles enjoy the Burnout series and for the Wii users( I was one of them)EA is now making this watered down version of a already great racing franchise.

NFL Tour, FaceBreaker and now NASCAR Kart Racing...Peter Moore does it again!!! I just can't get enough of these D list titles!!!

My god! It was games like this that killed the GameCube. And it will be games like this that kills the Wii. I remember when all the good games were on Nintendo's console. Nowadays, while awesome games like Fallout, Soul Calibur, Devil May Cry, etc are on PS3 and 360, poor Nintendo is stuck with Hello Kitty, High School Musical, and NASCAR Kart Racing while Mario, Link and the other 1st-party titles are virtually the only ones that are keeping the Wii from completely dying-out. Come on Nintendo, the Wii can use the GameCube controller and the Classic Controller, utilize the controllers to bring the big 3rd party titles in.

This is ridiculous, just make a kart game!!!!

UGH!!!!

I see m&m's on one the cars. And as I recall a m&m kart racer is out for the wii and it is bad. So that pretty much tells you how this title will turn.

Heres a riddle on the N64 MarioKart64 was a huge success but MickyMouse Racers was a failure and why did this happen because MarioKart64 was good and MickyMouse Racers was a poor attempt to hash out a copy of MarioKart64 with a different franchise. Ten years latter the same thing is happening again. I wonder what EA will tell their stock holders when this game crashes and burns.

this is dumb as hell, but at least i can use my wii wheel for something else. if i do play this game.

And this is why my Wii is collecting dust. I'm surprised Nintendo doesn't have any more watered down games for the system. Instead of GTA you might get Petty Theft Foot Pursuit. I'm about to beat mine to death with the balance board and it would probably be the last great game on the system. Good Grief!

What a Mario Kart ripoff XD

this looks so stupid

Epic way to introduce NASCAR for kids! but i hope the real NASCAR 09 is on Wii...(although i don't have a Wii)

Chalk up yet another kiddified wii version of a big name franchise. Now I get even more cartoony kids games to sift through when looking for a good wii game! >:(

/facepalm

I saw Jeff Gordon once in a restraunt in LA. He's a lot shorter than I ever imagined. I'm talking like, he's 5'5 or 5'4.

interesting

lol at shovelware .... im going to put the same comment every time the wii degrades our gaming another step ... its the truth.

$20 says it's more realistic than NASCAR 09 for 360 or PS3. Seriously - way to go EA!! Must be nice to have all that money to purchase the rights to a sport and completley **** it's fan base. Just whip out the cash and give em the finger. Thankfully I'm not a Wii owner who's been waiting for a NASCAR game - or I'd be on my way to EA's studios to burn it down.

When are we going to see a decent wii game??? my wii hasnt been touched in over a year and all i see is shovelware coming to this system

More Wii rubbish. Anyone want to bet the unlockable drivers are plumbers... Sorry, my Wii will still remain not hooked up.

wow fail

What in the HELL were they thinking?

This is the ultimte smack in the face by EA to all of it's NASCAR fans, especially those who only have a Wii.

@snarple_basic Wow this looks like it will be a fun game...this looks like it could be a real treat if EA doesn't rush it out. .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-. Errr.. "NASCAR Kart Racing is currently slated to arrive for the Wii on February 10" That looks like a big rush to me... The average wii development time (to the shovelware) seems to be about 4-6 months... so, EA have already rushed this thing.

this is the kind of crap that everyone thinks the Wii is. There is some great games for Nintendo's console, but they keep making this shovelware.

Only on the Wii would you see something like this.

omg sweet!! *ejaculates all over*

Even in NASCAR doesn't get a real treatment in Wii world, instead it gets 'Karts'. I mean really. Make a NASCAR game or don't; just don't bucher it by putting bobble heads in small cars.

geez, I still haven't played Mario Kart

Wow this looks like it will be a fun game, I know for wii gamers they might not get a real nascar game but this looks like it could be a real treat if EA doesn't rush it out.

Man, I haven't had a real NASCAR game since my GC. Sadly, all I have to look forward to is racing karts. I would like a REAL Nascar game for the Wii.

Oh. And no online is just a really stupid move.

Lemme guess, those two unlockable mystery drivers are Mario and Luigi.

People spouting ignorant assessments of NASCAR and questioning it's place as a sport... talk about a no-brainer. "God Forbid" you get to know what you're talking about before flap your maw.

snooze fest

I didnt think ea could ruin nascar games any worse than they already have
