This video of Dead or Alive X2's jet ski gameplay is so blatantly Waverace that Nintendo could probably sue if they wanted. Still, it actually makes me interested in the game, since I'm always up for a new Waverace (and who knows if or when they'll make a new one for the Wii). I'd have to get it online, though, because I couldn't work up the nerve to buy a game like that in person. Not without tucking the game into a brown paper bag and clutching it to my chest as I point at the counter clerk and scream "DON'T YOU JUDGE ME!"
