We previously wrote about Otomedius Excellent back in our games of September feature, which gave us the opportunity to spin several breast jokes in the span of a single paragraph.

Anything With an Engine marries the name and visage of NASCAR's most successful modern driver with a goofy, down-home country aesthetic and kart racing mechanics — not to mention a budget price.

The 3DS version is just now hitting stores with a PSP version to follow on November 8 , and we seriously hope it takes its cues from the earlier releases. But with racing elements similar to that of Burnout and MotorStorm, and role playing and sandbox elements thrown into the mix? Perfect, especially considering the fact that id Software are handling this game. While we do not know a whole lot of stuff about this game, we definitely cannot wait to get our hands on it.
