What is Galaxy Racers. I tried to come up with a mental image of what something called Galaxy Racers would look like. The first thing I imagined was a futuristic racer, like F-Zero, where floaty ships zoom along spacey tracks. But we don't need another one of those, so I thought of something else.
What about a turtle that is annoyingly slow? That sounds fun, doesn't it? You hold a Wii Remote and a Nunchuck, each representing the turtle's slow-ass legs. Waggle with all your might to see him move at a snails pace. To beat the game, you have to have Mr. Turtle run all the way across the galaxy.
We can only make sh*t up, as Ubisoft's trademark filing does not tell us much. It's a game. That's all we know. We'll look forward to hearing what Galaxy Racers really is.
In the meantime, got any better ideas? I really like the turtle idea.

Why have a clone when you can hope for the real thing. Considering how many series have sprung up on the Wii I wouldn't be suprised if this came up after all if Punch Out Wii happened, Excitebike Wii happening and Star Fox Wii is being considered F-Zero Wii seems likely.
I know but personally I felt that considering Ubisoft treats the Wii and DS like absolute shit the chances of a decent clone are very low. On the other hand Nintendo really wants to get out some of the classics to please the hardcore crowd as much as they can.
A F-Zero Wii just seems obvious to me.
Finally answering the age old question: Who would win a race the prince of Persia or Altair? Actually that sounds pretty cool if it's a foot race.
