Hinted at by Reggie Fils Aime himself, the man promised "a completely new experience in racing games". The rest of the scant details after the jump.

(Note: Though we are filing this under rumour until its official confirmation, there is little reason to disbelieve the following.)

At a special event held in New York City's Nintendo World Store, Nintendo icon Reggie Fils Aime (aka Regginator, aka He Who Will Take Your Name, etc) was on hand to sign autographs and chat with visitors. A contingent from GoNintendo was lucky enough to attend and they came away with not just autographed goods and a firm handshake from the man himself but a red hot nugget of Wii information:

Once six rolled around Reggie had to make his way out of the store, but he was nice enough to hang around and answer some questions from the crowd. Almost every questoin that was asked was met with the answer "you will find out in 10 days!" referring to E3. He played a game of cat and mouse with all the Wii questions simply because Nintendo wants to keep all a secret until the media briefing. After the final question Reggie finally decided to leave us with one little secret. He informed the entire crowd that Nintendo is working on a new racing game for the Wii. He made the point of telling everyone that the game is controlled with the core controller (Wiimote) and it would be used in a way that no one would expect. A completely new experience for racing games.

Yup, thats all he revealed. It would appear this may be a new IP as opposed to a new entry in the seminal Mario Kart or F-Zero series (though those are certainly in the pipeline). Used in a way that no one expects? A completely new experience? Wii-volutionary (sorry)? Bold claims. Lets hope E3 sheds some light on this exciting new development.
