Driving on the Wii?

Leave it to Nintendo to make gamers change their play style. Blakguy’s blog on Jeuxfrance.com has released a picture of driving instructions for the upcoming Excite Truck. We’re not sure where he got it, but turning and lifting your truck by moving the controller around seems like a pretty good way to simulate driving. It’s a bit of a stretch for those used to using an analog stick, or perhaps even a d-pad, to move around but it’s innovative at the very least.

It’s almost certain that this new style of play is going to shake things up for Nintendo, and you can almost see the camps for the new and old controller types getting ready for flame wars once the Wii shows itself. Hopefully, Nintendo will find a middle ground that will allow both sides to work the way they want to.
