1+2=A+B
Dpad controlers are 'rotated' so it functions liek the classic nes controller

Never got a real good look at the controller. I knew about the A on top and B on bottom of controller, and three buttons in the middle of the controlle. Didn't know there were some more towards the bottom/right (depending on how you hold it).

Thats a pretty clever idea though. It seems a lot are looking forward to playing old games on a new console, which is nice. But I want new games with new inspiration.

True. Thats why I am turning to the Wii because of its innovation and cheapness. I hope Excite Truck turns out well, heard it was going to play like Burn Out. That would be fun, especially if it can go online.

The problem with race games is a lot of them tend to be the same. There is FORZA, which is realtistic and many games try to mimic this. Or arcade like street racing bull crap like NFS. Or there is go-cart battling....

On top of that, driving in circles gets old after awhile. So I hope they pack some mini games in the Excite Truck that will keep it refreshed, just like they did with Burnout. Although, the game may always feel new because of the unique gamplay garunteed with the wii-mote.

There's another game that's going to be played like that... but I don't remember which one. I wonder how Excite Truck will actually be...
