BPM Racing Gets the Green Light For WiiWare

WiiWare could use a good racing game.

I recognise the logo, but I can't remember where. In any case, I'll be keeping my eye on this, because I love racing games, and games that incorperate rythm into it's gameplay, so this should be perfect for me( if done correctly).

Reminds me of Audiosurf.

I agree with x.SuperMario.x, though it doesn't sound too much like the usual racers us Wii peoples are used to. Here's hoping the "something different" angle works

@Mickeymac

Do WWE Games ring any bells? XD

Wiiware definitely needs good racing games. Let's hope this one doesn't turn out like SPOGS.

i hated Spogs sooo much i hope this aint like it at all.
i want it to be like mario kart wii and hopefully this game has some sorta online multiplayer

@Angelic Lapras King

No, not really. I think it they're making some PSP Card game/strategy game that seemed really interesting.

Well if its a good Wiiware racing game, it would be the first of its kind. I'll keep my eye on it when we get closer to its release. Currently, my eyes hurt from watching all the awesome stuff that's coming out right now!

i thought no one was ever going to say the word spogs again after it went off the 20 top list lol

I still wish they would bring Micro Machines to WiiWare. I used to love that game on the NES and Genesis systems. Simple but fun. Or maybe even RC Pro Am. I'd take that one as well.

Hopefully it does end up like audiosurf, but keep the ability to add your own songs.

This sounds interesting! Considering i own a pair of technics 1210s and love djing and love racing games ill watch out for this one.

I'm not about to jump onto the hype train, but the concept sounds cool. If it gets a good rating, I'll nab it. Here's hoping this won't be another SPOGS.

Interesting, but I would rather see a remake of Rad Racer.

It's not that I don't like games to be diferent but, there are very good small racing games out there that would fit perfectly on Wiiware (Corbie mentions some) I'd rather have something like that.
Btw we should all forget about SPOGS, lets hope for this game to be as good as it can be, and stop that "I hope this ain't like SPOGS" thing.

This could be pretty cool, I could also use some more old school nes style racing games like RC Pro-am (which won't ever be on VC since Rare owns it). Micro machines or whatever. Little cars in an almost overhead view can be suprisingly satisfying and simple. Remember "off-Road" in the dawn of 4-player games on NES. a game like that would rock my world.

Regarding Audiosurf, the devs of that should bring it over to WiiWare with MP3 support from SD cards. I know the install for it is like, 300+ mb but if they could somehow make it work I'd be all over it =X

Isn't Yuke's the company that put out Double D Dodgeball on XBLA? That game was awful, and they charged 800 points for it too. I could be wrong about Yuke's doing that one, but for some reason their name comes to mind with it, and if it is them, then I'm not so sure I have such high hopes for this new racer.

I still play the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive versions of Micro Machines and Championship Pro-Am all the time. Both are outstanding version of the originals. Maybe someday they'll at least show up on the Virtual Console.

@Hexrapper

Yes, they did do Double D Dodgeball. They also did NEVES, which I an okay casual game, and D1 Grand Prix, a less-than-stellar racing game. And yes, they are doing that Card/strategy game I mentioned( just localizing/publishing).

i juss want a good racer w/ online play and DLC dont care if its a remake or import from PSN or XBLA

@Hexrapper
I dont know how related this is, but if that game came on WIiware with SD music support, it'd be an instant-buy, espeically with online.

Coolness!!!

lols. if the game had sd-music support, i wonder how many people would buy it just for that feature

not that i would...

There's a small sensation in the back of my head that is warning me about this game. I'm looking forward to a good WiiWare racing game like most everyone else, but this one doesn't seem like it is the one that will do it for me. I don't like being skeptical this early, but...well...I'm skeptical.

Yay! It's a cross between Spogs and Helix!

@Corbie- Back to your old grim reaper?

Anyways, this game could be really good, especially with online and able to add your own songs off an SD. WiiWare needs more racing games.

Interest piqued.....
