GameOn writes: "Trackmania DS 2, or TMDS2 for short, is currently being developed by Firebrand, the makers of original Trackmania DS, but this time around we are looking at a bigger and better game. Trackmania is essentially an arcade racing game featuring tracks aplenty and an easy to use track editor. Tracks are put together using "blocks" - these are similar to Lego bricks but with the exception that the end result can look a lot more detailed and varied if the player provides a sprinkling of their imagination".
Ex: Despite the usual onslaught of "Releasing this week" articles and the publisher's best efforts, the latest iterations of TrackMania won't be on store shelves tomorrow.
Maybe they should have announced this *BEFORE* the week that their games were to be released.
You would think. Then again they delayed LBP the week of release because of that stupid music issue.
This is similar to the Battlefield 1943 snafu for PC gamers, but not as bad. At least the publishers made an effort to get the word out. Why did no one listen though?
GamerZines: Ubisoft has announced in their latest release schedule that Trackmania Turbo will be released on the DS this September, coinciding with a Wii release featuring the same franchise.
Oh, awesome! A sequel!
Hello there! Trackmania DS 2 will be worth getting over its sequel, but I would just like to point out a mistake in the preview which has now been corrected: Trackmania DS 2 will only contain four of the seven environments - Coast, Island, Snow and Stadium, and not Rally, Desert or Bay.
However, the new online multiplayer support should make this a worthy sequel.
