As much fun as launch title Excite Truck was, we were all deeply saddened by its lackluster multiplayer options. However, it looks like all will be changed in the upcoming sequel, unsurprisingly titled Excite Truck 2. Up to six players will compete online using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, with bonus "friend code" fun thrown in absolutely free.
The racer will feature eight new playable environments, including some low-gravity tracks on the Moon. The press release specifically notes improved graphics, "with better visual effects and shadows." Of course, we don't care about that stuff--all we really want to see is Mii-integration (pictured above).

Part of me is happy that this has been confirmed fake and part of me is disappointed.
I'm partly happy because ExciteTruck is one of my favorite Wii games and I'd be totally bummed to find out a newer, Wi-Fi version is coming out soon after I already got the original.
I'm partly disappointed because ExciteTruck is one of my favorite Wii games and I would absolutely love to play Wi-Fi. The game screams for more competitive play.

I'd prefer an online-ready Mario Kart anyway.
