Snaking, eh? Devilishly hard on the DS (but I managed to keep it up for short times), but could be oh-so-much easier on Wii.
The question is, though, how will this affect the long-term sales of the game amongst casual gamers? A non-snaker doesn't stand a chance on the DS online races, will it be the same on Wii?
If so, then this could have a negative effect over time, but not immediately. But, on the other hand, perhaps the innovative approach to the Wii may give the casual gamers a better chance?
Think it over!
