Sunday Comics: Dead Island Despite positive reviews for the Monster Games-developed Wii game, Nintendo’s Excitebots: Trick Racing didn’t burn up sales charts, moving a meager 13,000 copies in its first month on sale. Odd, considering it features playable poker and SUPER SANDWICHES.

Nintendo’s announcement of the existence of Excitebots: Trick Racing—the sequel to Wii launch title Excite Truck—was annoyingly short on details. Consider us detail-free no more, thanks to the latest issue of Nintendo Power.
