Custom Soundtrack in Excite Truck confirmed

The Wii has arrived in America for reviewers, gaming websites and media outlets. After getting their hands on Excite Truck, IGN can now confirm that you can play your favourite MP3’s straight off your SD card. The option allows you to choose your song or alternatively, stream up to 100 songs maximum.

Details inside! How to Select Music Tracks
1. Insert your SD Card into the Wii console.

2. Begin or continue a game and enter any race. Before the race begins, press + on the Wii Remote to access the Sound Options screen.

3. Select the “”SD Card”” option.

4. Any MP3 files available on your SD Card will be displayed (100 songs maximum). To choose a specific song for the race you are about to enter, highlight that song. You can also choose to randomize all songs shown for that course. Highlighting “”Default”” will play the standard in-game music.

5. Press 1 to return to the Sound Options menu, then 1 again to return to the pre-race screen. You can also use the “”Sound”” command at any point during the race to change the current song.

Expect more titles, First and Third party to utilise this feature as the months after the Wii launch come rolling in.
