It's been quite a ride, but MotoHeroz is now out the door and flying down the wires to eager gamers everywhere! We're told it should start showing up in the European market at around 14:00 GMT, with the Americas version later on in the day (check late afternoon or evening if you are in North America).

For those of you who are new to the Wii Shop Channel experience -- or need a refresher -- it is actually fairly easy. You don't need even need to leave home! All you need are some Wii Points and a connection to the Wii Shop Channel. This page from Nintendo explains the entire process cleanly and easily for you. Or watch this video.

Some quotes from the press release should give you the feeilng of the mood around the office:

“There’s no day like a launch day,” said Antti Ilvessuo, Creative Director of RedLynx. “It’s a culmination of lots of hard work and effort. It’s the day we finally deliver MotoHeroz to gamers and find out what they think about the game.”

“Creating games for gamers is what we do,” said Tero Virtala, CEO of RedLynx. “And we feel that with MotoHeroz, we have delivered one of the most complete experiences available amongst downloadable console games, with a rich single player adventure, a frantic local multiplayer game, and compelling, online challenges.

”It’s been stunning to see so many comments from the press and gamers commenting on articles, saying things like ‘Day one purchase’ and ‘Must-buy’ game,” said Virtala. “And now we’re thrilled to finally let gamers get their hands on their games.”

Then there's the development team, who had this to say: "Woooooppeeee!"
