Nintendo certainly kept us at the edge of our seats during President Satoru Iwata’s GDC keynote address yesterday. Although the announcement of a new Legend of Zelda title, along with news of a Wii storage solution and new DSi buyers getting 1000 free DSi Points were in the spotlight, some new information about the anticipated sequel to Excite Truck, Excitebots: Trick Racing, has also surfaced.

Developed by Monster Games, Excitebots: Trick Racing will be released exclusively for the Wii on the 20th of April. Up to 2 players can race locally while up to six can try cross the finishing line first via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in both Excite Race and Poker Race modes. If you can’t hook up with friends online, you can still compete by exchanging ghost data via WiiConnect24.

The game sees players racing around tracks in robotic insect and animal racers at high speeds, earning stars by performing stunts and participating in mini-games.
