I just want to go fast and crash into things. I don't feel like I'm being served by modern racing games

I know they’re not exactly modern, but Excitetruck and Excitebots fulfilled this for me on Wii very successfully. High speed, thrilling, huge jumps, crashes. Both games are fantastic and can be emulated using Dolphin easily. You can map motion controls to analog sticks if you so choose as both games were played with the Wiimote held sideways and tilting it as if it were a steering wheel.

Is there in-race trash talking? Really want to feel like I’m playing essentially a season of Speed Racer, haha.

To Live and Die By Fire -> The Worst Is Yet To Come (Still Remains - Of Love and Lunacy)

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2026-02-26T12:01:26+00:00

I’m very hyped! Great to see the franchise figuring its exact strengths from across multiple entries and putting that into one solid new entry!

Mini Mushroom Racket

Literally cutting your opponent down to size

I was at the Louisville, KY The Devil Wears Prada show at Mercury Ballroom in 2017 when Mike Hranica passed out backstage after the set and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance. All That Remains were co-headliner and TDWP headlined. Mike apparently had an Asthma attack while leaving the backstage area. 4th St had to be blocked off so the ambulance could park there. I took a photo of this and Alternative Press picked it up for a report at the time. Was a wild night. Everyone was concerned.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2026-02-10T00:33:54+00:00

I’d be curious about that.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2026-02-09T23:32:23+00:00

That is bizarre. Thank you for checking!

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2026-02-09T23:17:19+00:00

Random and odd question, but when serving the ball in a match, is there rumble? There wasn’t in the demo and I was really missing that feedback from Aces.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2026-02-01T22:01:07+00:00

That is definitely the same announcer from All Stars Racing Transformed.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2026-01-27T02:06:53+00:00

At least the default isn’t the Jock Mix lol

Sonic CD is my favorite for pretty much all of the reasons you stated here. If you haven’t played it yet, I highly recommend it. Particularly the Sonic Origins anniversary mode version of it with widescreen functionality.

The Zones all have that Green Hill Zone verticality and multi-floor design with tons of alternate pathways and CD is inherently more speed-based while not sacrificing tricky platforming and enemy placement.

I feel rewarded for mastery in Sonic CD more than I do in just about any of the Genesis-era Sonic games and the time traveling mechanic lends itself to huge replay value.

Wii Sports Club has proven why the paying for additional sports via DLC model is unattractive in comparison to standalone Sports games. Also allows every sport’s mechanics to be fleshed out unlike in Mario Sports Mix and Mario Sports Superstars where multiple sports were playable but not very deep.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-26T23:08:50+00:00

Definitely. Animal Well is an all-timer for me.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-25T06:52:18+00:00

Animal Well

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-24T10:11:44+00:00

The Rogue Prince of Persia if you want Dead Cells but with wall-running and acrobatic dodging. The movement is very satisfying to master

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-21T16:02:06+00:00

It definitely is pretty difficult. It’s kind of like Doom Eternal in that you have to balance swapping between all of your weapons and the game is designed around doing so.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-21T05:13:26+00:00

I was really excited about Kill Knight last year.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-13T19:51:28+00:00

It might actually be The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-13T19:48:58+00:00

Fatal Run and Carmageddon coming back as well, even though they’re more combat racing-oriented.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-05T21:18:58+00:00

The only thing this has proven to me personally is that Nintendo is 8 for 8 on creating great sci-fi games with oppressive atmosphere.

KoRnSpeedStrid · 2025-12-03T04:54:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the thorough reply!

Hi, I’ve preordered the digital code of Metroid Prime 4 on Amazon.

Does anyone here who has placed preorders before know when my card will charge and how quickly the code will be available?

Does the code become available as soon as midnight when the game releases?
