E308 | WaveRace 64 Team Working on Wii Sports Resort

By Adam Riley 17.07.2008 9

When it was reveled that there would be a Jet Ski game within Wii Sports Resort, many were disappointed that WaveRace looked like never returning in its own right. But fans should keep an eye on it, as it has been revealed that the original team behind the N64 game (the version still deemed on the whole as the best in the series) has been working hard on the Jet Ski side of the new version of Wii Sports.

According to Yeguch-san of the team, speaking at the special Nintendo conference where Pikmin 3 was confirmed, the WaveRace 64 team will be making that section of Wii Sports Resort far better than the N64 game.

After several fans were disappointed in the GameCube version of WaveRace, this certainly comes as great news...

Cannot complain that they are behind it, it can hardly be a bad thing, still, like others say I also want a new Wave Race Wii.

I got the Virtual Console version and it's plastered with Wii logo's all over the advertising hoardings.

WaveRace64 is a legendary game! So if they make this to the same standard as the N64 game this will be pretty darn good!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Pffft, 64 was great but Blue Storm was superb. I'd rather have Waverace Wii though.

Bluestorm was made by NST so hopefully they will get cracking on 1080 or Waverace soon enough. With Wii Balance board controls!

Blue Storm was abysmal compared to WR64 (imo) and totally ruined the WR experience for me. Sure, it looked bloody fantastic, but the controls were just so 'off' compared to the N64 version that I'm glad it didn't sell as well, tbh.

NST did a FAR better job with Ridge Racer 64 and 1080� Avalanche on GC instead. Glad to see the original WR64 back in action...
