New Speed Racer Video Game?

clipper's remarks: Anyone heard anything about this one?

For those of you that would like to drive like Speed, there are plenty of video games available. The new movie will come out side-by-side with a game to release on Wii, Nintendo DS and Playstation, and the game will feature the actors from the movie reprising their roles for the game. If you can track it down, it might be fun to play the DOS version of The Challenge of Racer X or Speed Racer in My Most Dangerous Adventures- both published by Accolade. There’s even an arcade console that Namco put out in 1995, and there is a Playstation offering, too, from Jaleco, originally produced in 1998.

clipper's remarks: I love Racer X. What is it about the bad guys that's so alluring? Also, he's played by Matthew Fox- that never hurt, either!

Never fear, for those of you out there that prefer a physical to, you know, play with, there are Speed Racer Legos, and Mattel has the license to make toys for the new film. Die-cast replicas of the Mach 5 will be produced by JADA toys, and they are also putting out a plastic model kit (do kids still play with those?). For the girls out there, there will be Speed Racer and Trixie Barbies put out by Barbie Collector, and Art Asylum will also be producing a Speed Racer line of their very popular MiniMates. Toynami is also putting out large-scale reproductions of the cars from the live-action movie.
