Nintendo Sponsors Race Car

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Monday, July 16, 2007 1:02 PM


The Nintendo Wii is not exactly known for its awesome selection of racing games... but all that might change--Nintendo announced today they will be sponsoring a real, live NASCAR race car.

Greg Biffle will be the man behind the wheel of the #16 Wii-themed Ford Fusion pictured above.

Reports that the car will be entirely controlled by a Wii-Mote and Nunchuk combination remain unsubstantiated at press time, although experts agree the suggestion is ridiculous. Automotive insiders confirmed, however, that while most NASCAR vehicles are powered by a precise mixture of methanol and ethanol, The Wii Racer will run entirely on adorablness and fanboy enthusiasm.

Look for the Wii-themed car at Watkins Glen International in New York on Sunday August 12th and then again at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware on Sunday September 23rd!

Vroom!

Hallelujah! But im still wondering... why?

Sony and Microsoft need cars in this race also- that way we can who will really win the console race. Now if only Burt Reynolds and Dom Delouise would pilot the Wii car...

I heard that Dale Jr. might drive a sony car now that he has changed teams, and thats about all I know about NASCAR.

Can't quite tell, but it looks like the Nintendo logo might be on the top of the trunk.

I think if sony and ms would drop off the gaming market mature gamers or maybe even harcore would perish meaning videogames would perish.

I hope Dale Jr rams this car doin' 150 and it explodes. I hope Biff's ok though, b/c he's a good guy. But I hope Jr dies...I hate all the rednecks who throw shit at Jeff's car...

Then Jimmie Johnson drives by and wins. ha ha ha ha ha! A perfect race...

Well that will make redneck Wii sales sky rocket. Add some fishin', huntin' and Monster truck games and The Alabama/Mississippi market is a shoe in/

Actually, the nintendo logo is on there...
it is next to the big wii logo, (above 3M logo) near the back of the car.

Nintendo + NASCAR = Wtf?

Posted by antiburgerjob23 - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 11:24 AM

Now I know Nintendo is trying to branch out to every person on the planet with the Wii, but come on...FRIGGIN NASCAR?!?! I hate Nascar, the entire premise is to race around in a cirle 500 times. GEE DOESNT THAT SOUND LIKE FUN? YEAH IF YOU HAVE ADD!!! Not to mention all of the money and gas wasted. So if you ask me, its a bad move on Nintendos part wanting to be associated with dumbass rednecks...
