NGamer bashes Excitebots by comparing it to the Fukushima nuclear disaster

Earlier today, Nintendo announced that Excitebots: Trick Racing would be offered in Japan as a Club Nintendo reward. NGamer doesn’t seem to be a fan of the title, as they sent out the following tweet a few hours ago:
Obviously the tweet caused a hugely negative response, but for what it’s worth, they removed the message and issued an apology.
Even though NGamer was trying to make a joke, they didn’t really use much tact. Plus, most North American fans would say that Excitebots is actually a very enjoyable title. It was viewed favorably by critics as well.

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
2011 is the year of Zelda with Nintendo celebrating 25 years since the beginning of the critically-acclaimed franchise. The Legend of Zelda™ was first released on the Nintendo Entertainment System™ a quarter of a century ago this year, and to help celebrate this occasion Nintendo are releasing a limited edition pre-order bundle for the latest instalment in The Legend of Zelda franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, coming to Europe on 18th November 2011.
Games in The Legend of Zelda series invite players to explore vast environments, solve puzzles and battle enemies in a fantasy world. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword continues this tradition, but transforms the experience by using the Wii Remote Plus controller to offer even more precise control.
Excitebots heads to Japan as a Club Nintendo reward
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Excitebots: Trick Racing has been a North American exclusive for over two years. That’s changing now, as the title has become a reward on the Japanese Club Nintendo website.
Named “Excite Mou-Machine”, Nintendo has started offering the game for 1,000 points.
This is a complete Club Nintendo exclusive. Nintendo won’t be offering the title outside of the rewards service.
