Choro-Q takes a road trip to Wiiville

Nintendo 64 racing fans will recognize Takara's Choro Q series as Penny Racers. Conspiracy Games localized a few other games in the series under the Road Trip banner, which somebody might have seen at some point. But everyone, no doubt, will recognize the cars: squatty caricatures of real vehicles with a slot in the back for an exciting penny, which causes the cars to freak out and spin around.

There aren't so many pennies or freakouts in the video game version, just driving tiny cars around in everyday environments. We hate to call forth the angry "GRAPHICS DON'T MATTER" comments, but without playing the new Wii game, all we have to go on is graphics, and it doesn't really look like much has changed since 1998. We're not saying the game won't be fun-- just putting our two cents in.
