Nintendo's executive VP Reggie Fils-Aime made his scheduled autograph-signing appearance at Nintendo World in Rockefeller Center today, and let the assembled fans in on a little secret:

"I'm going to give one little secret," Fils-Aime said. "Only one little secret, and hopefully I won't lose my job. We're going to show a racing game at E3 where you use the core controller in a very different way. That will answer all the questions to how you'll play a racing game."

That's all he said, but, well, add "Untitled Racer" to the Wii games list, which isn't so wii anymore.
