Mario Kart Wii Wheel - Where to get ?

brianon

Anyone know anywhere in Limerick you can get the Wheel separately ?

Was in Newbridge yesterday and seems sold out everywhere

Any places online to get it besides ebay ?

Smoggy

Online, somewhere like amazon ?

You're the 1st person I've heard to say that, Im hearing that its very responsive and adds to the experience

Helix

i can guarentee you those people havent tried it with the gc controller

the wheel im sure is grand for people who are either new to mario kart or wouldnt play games that much, id consider myself a moderately decent player at it, and the wheel just doesnt cut it

I think the wheel is great,arms are in bits though!

OP if you are around Kildare again,Xtra Vision in Celbridge had plenty of wheels last time I checked.

Its fine for me, takes some getting used to. I usually just use the controller on its own at this stage though.

Does the wheel come with the game?

I've playing since the SNES days so not new to Mario Kart and have been playing games since the NES days and the wheel is amazingly good, I was honestly shocked, I too thought I'd be on the GC controller but the wheel is great.

Yes one wheel comes with the game and the game is priced the same as a game without a peripheral so is in essence free.

I'm sure once the hype of mario kart calms down there will be a steady increase in them, especially since nintendo intend to have more games using the wheel.

Got it myself yesterday and was surprised how good it is to use.
