Yuke's announces BPM Racing for WiiWare

Yuke's Company of America has announced a cool new racing game for WiiWare with a twist. If you are familiar with Yuke's, you may think that "twist" is wrasslin', but thankfully it isn't (though that has been tried). Instead, BPM Racing is a rhythm-racing game.We aren't exactly sure how this works, but you'll synchronize your driving (in some way) to the rhythm of the soundtrack to increase your speed, handling, and score. Players will also be able to add "their own samples and effects to various soundtracks."
Yuke's Company's Ken Koyama said in the press release that "The racing genre is ripe for a new, innovative direction and increasing the aural experience seemed like an obvious choice." To be honest, even if it doesn't work, we already appreciate this. The best thing about downloadable games is that it allows developers to create extremely risky games based on outrageous ideas without having to worry too much about their businesses dying if the games don't sell.

I'll be, a game named after a weblogs family commentator
Neat. What does BPM have to say?
