Because I Love Trackmania

Kotaku AU

I’m going to post six new screenshots of the Wii version set for release on September 23. Just you try and stop me.

Originally released on PC and then last year on DS, Trackmania is part racing game against the clock on some pretty crazy tracks, part stunt sim on some even crazier tracks, and part editing tool where you can build the tracks as crazy as you want.

As a huge fan of the PC version, I’m really curious to see how well it shapes up on Wii – and what coming to Nintendo’s console has added to the template.

    Whenever I sit at my PC wanting to play a game but can’t figure out what, I inevitably load Trackmania.

    Keen to see how this goes on the Wii.

      God, i do the same thing. I love this game, seriously. The amazing track editor is what is awesome, sharing and swapping tracks with people and trying to finish their level… lol.

    track mania is one of the greatest car games i have ever played even right from the begining.

    This will certainly get some dusk off the old wiimotes!

    I can’t think of any other game that’s taken up as much time as trackmania has. Seriously, it’s a struggle to stop once I get started. I’d be mad not to buy the wii one. It’d easily be my most played wii game AS LONG as it has decent online multiplayer.

    Any news on TM3? I saw a video at some French show, but it was very vauge. Great series of games that is nothing special, just heaps of fun to play.

    While we have the TrackMania fans here, we may as well get each other’s names on the PC game so that we can recognise each other online!

    I’m RedIon1992, written in red and italics. If you see me online, let me know that you’re from Kotaku AUS.

    Also, for those who haven’t tried it, the TrackMania Nations game is free (the environment is the one in the second screenshot). Seriously, give it a whirl. Most of the online servers run Nations maps exclusively because it’s so popular.
