Official Nintendo Wii Wheel
If you play Mario Kart on your Wii, the chances are you are going to want to play with friends.
Now, you can buy the game Mario Kart with an extra wheel and pay around $40 for the additional wheel. If you buy the official Nintendo Wii Wheel separately then you can pay around $10 or so for it, which is a significant saving.
In fact, it works out that for the same price as Mario Kart with two wheels you can buy the game (which comes with a wheel) and three separate wheels.
The concept of a Wiimote wheel was just plain hilarious. And very easy to poke fun of. Why do you need a plastic wheel that’s detached from anything? Are you going to drive with it at the top of your head? Then there’s the fact that they went through 20-iterations or so to design the wheel. And then you can go on and on about how complicated is it to design a wheel. It’s not like they needed to reinvent the wheel.
lets face it, all it is, is a plastic holder that is shaped like a wheel that your remote snaps into. And thats all there is to this accessory. Its nothing more then a holder shaped like a wheel to house your remote to give you the feeling of using a steering wheel while you play a racing game. So realize that going into the purchase that its just that and nothing more.
At least though the price is right and reasonable for the most part. This is not a must get though as all the games this will be for I’m sure will play just fine without it. But it will add a little extra something that the already gimic like remote provides for the Wii. This just takes that remote factor an extra step by giving the illusion and feel of a wireless steering wheel that you can hold anywhere and use to race on a screen far away.
It’s designed well, makes taking the remote in/out easily, the B button is done simply & well & even has the IR window to point to menu choices in between each race so you don’t have to remove it.
You can get a Wii Wheel from Amazon for a great price (under $10) so it’s a fantastic purchase if you want to increase the fun of Mario Kart and play against your friends. Click here to get your Wii Wheel today.
