WiiWare Revs Up with Rush Rush Rally Racing

Dreamcast indie game turns to Nintendo

by James Newton Thu 19th Aug 2010

Despite having never really taken off in the face of the PlayStation 2 – though that's a story for another site – the Dreamcast is still a much-loved console to this day, with small developers still releasing new titles. One such team is Senile Games, whose classic racing games Rush Rush Rally Racing is making its way over to WiiWare courtesy of Redspotgames.

A 2D top-down racer reminiscent of Super Sprint, Supercars, Micro Machines and more, Rush Rush Rally Racing focuses on multiplayer thrills and old-school arcade action and as such could be a welcome addition to the WiiWare library. Feast your eyes on this Dreamcast trailer and check out the developer's website for lots more info on this upcoming game.

That might turn out to be good. Hopefully, they will get the controls right. Will keep an eye on it. I liked Micro Machines very much back then.

I LOVE games like this. This reminds me of the epic 'Death Rally'. Oh boy, those were the days!

This looks like a winner. I love stuff like Thrash Rally on Neo Geo, if it's anything like that it'll be a hoot.

This sounds pretty good. I like Driift Mania okay, but it's been awhile since I've played it. Can't hurt to have a second game like that on WiiWare!

Online would rule for this game. As Sean said, Drift Mania was okay, but this looks much better.

Cool! I also bought this game for the Dreamcast and I liked it. It's a good game and quite similar to one of my all-time favorite racing games: Micro Machines. If they fix up a few things for this version, like bigger variation between tracks, higher resolution so it will be easier to see where the next turn is and four player support in the Get Ahead-mode it could become a really great game!
