Looks promising. I was worried about the controls with the wheel but it looks like you can use about any controller you want. I also like the addition of the motorbikes. Breathes a little new life into a series that hasn't progressed too much. I'll be buying this for sure.

Tracks wise, the 64 is the best IMO.

32 tracks is quite a bit for this new one. I'm wondering what the older tracks will look and play like.

This is awesome. Even though the wii-mote hasn't failed me yet, I still had some reservations about it being as accurate as an analog stick. Really smart move here :thumbsup:

did you read the article?

Even though the steering wheel comes packed in with the game, you're not forced to use it. Mario Kart Wii will have full support for playing using the Wii remote exclusively, or the Wii Remote with the Nunchuk, or the Classic Controller, or even a GameCube controller. The game will automatically recognize which controller you choose to use the moment it's plugged in, and every best time will be noted with a specific controller icon to let everyone know just how you managed to get that score.

Ohhh, I get it. You use a steering wheel because in the game your character rides a motorcycle. Nice. :idea:

it looks like they have carts and motorcycles. Some of the carts look pretty bitchin though. It looks like somebody pimped mario's ride.

It will probably be easier to play with a gamecube controller anyway. I imagine it will be comparable to MK:DD
From what I'm reading the steering wheel is just a piece of plastic that holds the wiimote.
There will probably be a learning curve with the wii-mote/wheel method.

It might be easier to play using either the Gamecube controller of the "Classic Controller".

I was hoping the DK board from MK:DD would make it... that's my favorite board of all-time.

According to Nintendo the steering wheel has proven to be the most popular controller amongst testers.
