Wii's Excitebots Sells Just 13,000 In The U.S.

Wii News from N4G | Excitebots: Trick Racing

Wii - Excitebots: Trick Racing - Wii's Excitebots Sells Just 13,000 In The U.S.

Despite message board buzz and strong reviews, the Wii-exclusive Excitebots: Trick Racing sold just 13,000 units in the U.S. for its April debut, research firm NPD Group told Gamasutra on Friday.

The Nintendo-published game launched in the latter half of NPD's retail calendar on April 20, so the game has yet to reach even a full month of availability on store shelves. (NPD's retail calendar for April ended on May 2.)

But the amount of units sold is still low, considering the popularity of the game's predecessor, Excite Truck, the strong reviews, and the buzz amongst the press and hardcore fans.

NPD said the game wasn't even able to crack the top 100 games by unit sales during the month of April.

Wii - Excitebots: Trick Racing - Critical Reception: Nintendo/Monster Games' Excitebots: Trick Racing

This week's edition of Critical Reception examines online reaction to Monster Games' Excite Truck sequel Excitebots: Trick Racing for Wii, which reviews describe as "an engaging, exciting blast." Excitebots currently earns a score of 80 out of 100 at Metacritic.com.

IGN's Matt Casamassina rates Excitebots at 8.4 out of 10. "It's been nearly three years since Nintendo released the Monster Games-developed Excite Truck for Wii and in so doing surprised racing fans with a compelling, if not thrilling title that took the neglected franchise into a new high-flying direction," he says.

Wii: The Games of April '09

"When comparing the big three consoles, the Nintendo Wii takes the crown for the quantity of releases for the month of April. Lets be frank though... quality vs. quality has always been a bit of a challenge for the Wii. With that being said, we are starting to see the results of developers/publishers re-focused efforts due to the success of the Wii platform.

Highlights for the month of April 2009 include ExciteBots: Trick Racing, Samurai Shodown Anthology, and Gravity.

What titles are you looking forward to?

Check out the full list of new video game releases (USA) for the month of April 2009 on Nintendo Wii! As always, release dates are subject to change, slip, slide, and be fairly unpredictable."
