New racer pushes Wii to its limits

Advanced physics separates Wheelspin from F-Zero and WipEout.

Legendary British video game creator Archer MacLean has told VideoGamer.com that the physics implemented in his upcoming futuristic Wii racer Wheelspin will push the Nintendo console to its limits.

"Well the thing with Rollcage, WipEout, F-Zero as well, they’re all classic, classic games. They, F-Zero and WipEout, had you floating through the scenery, you were just sort of swaying left and right, we’ve got full physics, and we’re pushing the Wii to the limit to make the physics work," MacLean told VideoGamer.com at gamescom last month.

He added: “We like to think we’ve pretty much got it to the edge, yeah, right to the edge."
