Here's an epic bump since Nintendo put up some more demos out of nowhere.  One is a game for those of you with a balance board and zapper.  It's called Horizon Riders.  I have neither and the game played kind of crappy with just a wiimote.  Another game is Fast - Racing League.  I already bought it some time ago.  It's kinda like Wipeout without weapons, or the newer F-Zero games without taking down other cars.  It's pretty and plays well, but I didn't find it too exciting.

The other is a game called 3D Pixel Racing and I quite enjoyed it.  It's motion controls only and it felt really over sensitive at first.  But after a lap or two (and used my Mario Kart wheel shell for the first time ever) it was really fun.  For only $5 I would've already picked it up if I didn't just buy a hand full of games on WiiWare/VC.  I have points left over though so I'll probably get it sooner or later.

I've noticed it has got some really bad reviews.  But from what I've read they all seem to have problems with the controls.  I wonder if they're trying to play like ExciteTruck with the dpad and button facing the ceiling as opposed to Mario Kart where the dpad and buttons face you.  Because that's how I tried playing at first and it was really bad.  But like I said switching to the correct position and even using that wheel shell really helps.

Has anyone else tried this game out?

I played the 3D Pixel Racing demo. The presentation reminded me of Legos except without the charm, so I couldn't get past how terrible the game looked to really notice what it controlled like.
