Why does every jerk in art school take it upon himself to cause mass fanboy hysteria with phony video game mock-ups? Because they can. Luckily, a liberal arts degree can leave you light in the vernacular pants and thus result in laughable faux press releases:
UPCOMING EXCITE TRUCK 2 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VANCOUVER, B.C., April 21, 2007 – Lack racing games on your Wii system ? Excite Truck 2 is on the way.
As every multiplayer addict asked for it, Excite Truck 2 will have an online multiplayer mode: up to 6 players, with Mii dispay. According to Nintendo's privacy policy, the "friend code" system will be applicated. A lot of online options will be available.
A bunch of new tracks will be playable with 8 environments, among which the brand new couple of tracks taking place on the Moon. Be sure that you will take a flight at low gravity! The "Stars" system during the race is still there, and you will have to master two new tricks: frontflip and backflip. Those who already played Excite Truck can easily imagine the way they will be able to perform these tricks! With your "Stars", get some "Excite Points" to upgrade your truck to an amazing monster of steel an power!
The graphics will be improved, with better visual effects and shadows. We even implemented several ambiances to every track, like dawn or sunset. The two sreenshots linked below were taken from a beta version, but they already show the global quality of the game.
Attached are two artist renderings of what Excite Truck 2 might be like, a sequel that we'll surely see in our lifetime but will hopefully look more polished than dusty fox feces. Nintendo has confirmed the lameness of this hoax by dispatching photos of the hidden knifeblades in their lawyer's shoes.
Besides, Nintendo actually doing something with their Mii's? ROFLMAO suuuure.
