Mario Kart Wii Wheel... Good Idea?
chrisbradshaw \| 9:01 PM on 04.06.2008	11 comments

Here we have Mario Kart coming to Wii, and there's a much heard about plastic add on coming out for it. 15 bucks. Worth it?

Let me ask this though? How is that question though? It comes with this game for free, and if you believe it's worth the additional purchases, then you'd by more. Play it, feel it, then decide.

I think it's pretty cool. Same with the Wii Zapper. Nice idea, kinda dumb if you think about how much it is for a piece of plastic. I'm not buying it though.

THIRTY PROTOTYPES.

Also, your banner is amazing.

If you like overpriced plastic that is made for 10 years olds. Yeah! Although, it'd be nice if it actually came free with the game.

i'm definitely gonna use the gamecube controller. the wiimote will probably end up being to sensitive to movement anyway.

Well From what i read its just if you want the wheel its 15 bucks...but other then that seems like a good way to bring new faces to Mario Kart, I'm actually interested of trying it

It will come with the game, yes. That's the reason why I'll have it. If it's really, REALLY that good, I may buy another one when the price drops.

1 wheel free with the game, apparantly it shows up on the high score tables as well. So it'll be a real burn if people using the wheel start thrashing everyone else's times. I'll use it on Friday and see what its like but I'm not going to pass judgement before I've held it and used it myself.

Also like Agent Chieftain said, that thing went through 30 incarnations. It has to be somewhat refined right? Also the Wii Zapper is awesome so I have faith.

about me
My name is Chris Bradshaw, I live in Canada- y'know home of the REAL free. I keep reading these stupid ass headline on the Newsnow feed... and there's always SOME sort of ass remark about the Wii somewhere. It's come to the point where I've seen those views actually manipulate the general 'hardcore (Dtoid) gamers' and I've kept quiet and I read stupid remark after another... but not anymore. I think these blogs need to have a Nintendo guy by there side to even the odds. Definitely. Someone who knows that there's more to Nintendo Wii than just -Mario -Zak and Wiki. I'm not a Nintendo 'fan boy' but I suppose that's something you'll figure out over time.
