Based on the upcoming Wachowski brothers film of the same name (itself based on the popular retro kids cartoon), Speed Racer will be released on the Wii and Nintendo DS. Set in a hyper-realistic world where car culture is the culture, players compete in the World Racing League (WRL) against up to 19 other racers across rollercoaster-like race tracks.  Players will enjoy a combative racing experience like no other when they take control of the T180 race car, achieving amazing speeds and mastering four independently turning wheels that allow drivers to engage in "car fu" to jump, flip, and outmaneuver their opponents.  Speed Racer captures the action, look and feel of the high adrenaline arena racing developed for the movie in an accessible, fun-filled game that allows players to actually get behind the wheel and on incredible tracks straight out of the world of Speed Racer.
