I go over all the different wheel accessories Nintendo's released for Mario Kart games throughout the years. Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz
This style always reminds me of Classic Game Room; a gaming web series that looks at pretty much everything gaming. And these really feel like the hardware reviews.
@@lewatoaofair2522 Daaamn bro CGR. I remember I learned so much about gaming and its history from that channel. Pure gold mine for the culture. AVGN taught me a lot too. It's a shame CGR kinda disappeared and AVGN is a shell of its former self.
@@lewatoaofair2522 To me, Scott evokes that feeling I used to have when I was a kid and I gawked at Normal Boots and AVGN and I learned so much about games! I know pretty much everything Scott talks about in his videos but I would say it's the only remnant of quality left on Gaming CZcams. That and maybe Caddicarus with his shitty takes and whiny attitude and Eruption with his mechas. What do you think?
And the motorbike handles! Both are absolutely atrocious to use, but hey, at least it helps to give you some perspective on the quality of the default motion control schemes...
@@roderickbawcutt I feel like he could get at least a 40 minute video out of if, because he would first have to explain the origin of the alphabet and why Nintendo specifically chose that letter (and not a number). It'd also include the origin of the placement of the button, etc
I'm happy that now exist a Scott's Stash video on Mario Kart Wheels, but I'm also sad that this might be the last Scott's Stash video on Mario Kart Wheels Hopefully 5 years from now we might get a remake
I remember playing Mario Kart Wii with my cousin back then, every time he used the Wii Wheel and I always said "Hey man, are you sure you want to use the Wii Wheel and not the GameCube Controller?" And yet he still went with the Wii Wheel and he always wondered why he lost.
In my friends group we preferred the Wiimote not in wheel vs in. And yes when figured out the nunchuck worked it was a game changer. Far less fighting over GC controllers.
Isn't the GameCube controller kinda unconventional? Especially since tricking is mapped to the goddamn D-pad for no reason? I just feel WiiMote and Nunchuck is the most conventional
One pro i can say about the 3ds wheel is that it makes the 3ds much more comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions. It is basically the same as grips on a controller.
I remember the day when my parents, for the beginning of the school year, bought the family a Wii and Mario kart to go with it. Truly one of the best moments of my childhood.
Personally, I'm waiting for Mario Takes the Train, the eco friendly, accessible sequel franchise - comes with an accessory smart card that you can tap to the console's NFC reader to pay the fare
I just got out of the hospital! And my grandparents died 17 days apart! And this was awaiting me as I was home just crazy how time flies and I really didn't know what was going on besides a lot! This game represents a part of my childhood that I can vaguely remember about the game. And more about my actual life.
I don't. That hardware sucked, and I can play every game from that era that I cared about on better consoles. Except Mario Party 8 and Wii Sports Resort.
I like watching Scott’s stash at night, it just has more of a feeling where it is like he’s talking directly to you, probably because of the lack of a ton of editing like the usual vids
Appreciate that you took to the time to add more game footage and pictures to emphasis on some conversation to your videos on this channel more omg. I didn't mind the style of just a handcam with minimum editing at all (I could listen to Scott rambling anything tbh) but I commend you effort despite this being a side "free talk" channel
Funfact: There's another, non listed in this video, official steering wheel made by Nintendo It's the Labo Steering wheel. It's also compatible with Mario Kart and Grid, oddly enough.
I actually bought the joycon wheels at their launch specifically for them improving the triggers of the sideways joycon when I played multiplayer at school. Ended up getting rid of them once I got a second set of joycon to take on the go, but seeing them here just unlocked so many memories
Whenever I play Mario Kart Wii with friends, it’s a race to get to either the GameCube controller or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, no one wants to be left with the motion controls, doesn’t matter if it has the wheel or not.
9:37 this was something as a kid that really messed me up after playing mario kart wii, i thought that the controls were the same, and almost snapped my 3ds in half trying to shake the console to do a trick
I feel like it's impossible to understand how cool the Wii wheel was if you weren't there when it happened. It's easy enough to explain how it was a novelty and a big gimmick (in a good way), but it's very hard to convey the excitement that came with this plastic circle - it's very much a "if you don't understand I don't think I can explain" thing. I don't care about any subsequent wheels, but god do I want a Wii wheel. I don't even own a single Mario kart game. But I want that damn wheel. It's so iconic
I actually got a pair of Wii Wheels years before I got Mario Kart. They were found at a yard sale along with a pair of Wii Zappers. After a while, there were threats to get rid of them, but I insisted they stay. A year or so later, I won an auction and got Mario Kart 8. First game I ever bought at auction. I almost always use a Wii Wheel for Mario Kart, for better or for worse. The ergonomics are just that good!
I 100% completed Mario Kart Wii using the wheel. One of my best gaming accomplishments. I only use it when I play Mario Kart Wii. Happy to have that Gold Wheel Icon on my menu. Haha.
Man this brings me back to when I had the dreamGear Wii wheel. It mounted to a table and the base was blue and the wheel was red. That was my main method of playing the Speed Racer game for the Wii and then it came back into action when I started to play Mario Kart 8. The Wii Wheel is probably my favorite Wii peripheral.
i've been playing mario kart wii online lately, it's absolutely amazing that the community is still active to this day, despite the games servers being down for at least 8 years. that game is absolutely legendary. anyone who played it growing up has to hop back online it's such a nostalgia trip
I remember as a kid, I never had an official Wii Wheel. Instead, my family got some kind of third-party wheels alongside some of those dumb Wii Sports peripherals, and those were what we used for Mario Kart, since our copy was a rental from our local Movie Gallery (we eventually bought the game from the store when it closed down). I can't remember who made the wheels, but they had a split top, pink hand grips, and I think even an IR port.
bro i was crazy with the first person mario kart 7 motion controls. i was so good i tricked every other kid into thinking it was a superior control scheme and won every race against them
15:55 I think it was because at the time of the Switch's launch they were really honing in on the fact you could play 2 player anywhere with one system.
The joycon-wheel might actually be nice for "regular" side-ways joycon use like scott mentioned! l dont really play like that anymore but around the launch when fewer of my friends had their own switches it would probably have been more comfortable to play them in those holders rather than with/without the little clasp nintendo provided. huh
I was one of the few hundred people who actually used the Joy-Con to play online. I ended up getting a used set from GameStop since I said I used tilt controls. I didn't know at the time that I could use the Pro Controller/Joy-Con grip as the wheel. I spent over 3 years playing Mario Kart with the Joy Con wheel. Lmao.
I always used the nunchuck in MKW, but my brothers both had wheels. We had the official one, that came with the game, and a random third party wheel (by gamexpert). I actually preferred the third party wheel whenever I did use the wheel, it was just bigger and more comfortable in my hands.
When I first played Mario Kart Wii in 2009, I always used the Wii Wheel because I just thought it looked cool. A few years later I just used the Wii Remote on its side and thought it actually worked way better (it also helped that I actually got good at the game). Then in high school I switched over to the Wiimote and Nunchuck and haven’t looked back since.
On the topic of stache: I don't think there's enough discussion of the split that happened in Nintendo's brand image of Mario back with Paper Mario. Paper Mario depicts Mario's moustache as brown, matching his hair (as it should be!), and it also depicts the bill of his hat as brown as well. I prefer these changes. Nobody has brown hair and a black moustache. Also, Scott, why don't you have a stache? Definitely need one to be posting here.
I accidentally clicked on scotts stash and thought I was in the main channel, and I saw this video and clicked on it thinking it was a new scott upload. it took me about 10 minutes before I realized it was a scott's stash video.
One of my favourite things abt Mario Kart Wii is that the online mode allowed you to lie about using motion controls. You had a preset set of phrases you could say before a race, and one of them was "I‘m using motion controls!", which i LOVED spamming with my Gamecube controller 😌
I have a third party one that's bigger and personally I find it more comfortable, you can also use the Nunchuck with it, there's a connection that you open, put the Wii Remote in, close it, amd then there's a lid in the back that you pop off and plug your Nunchuck. I don't why anyone would do it, but you can.
20:17, got one of these for my son's 3rd bday and he loves it. We only use it maybe once a month but if you want a real challenge, play F-Zero 99 with it.
Seen the 3DS/Joycons wheels, did surprise me when I first saw them going what why! I think the plastic buttons do help for sure by the look. The Hori (proper) wheel peripheral with Mario stuff on it was hilarious to watch someone review as to me it doesn't work as well for Mario Kart as motion controls do especially with an automated control scheme compared to other racing games (Gear Club Unlimited 1&2 and Need for Speed are arcade racers, open world racing games are arcade ones to my knowledge don't know a single simulation one, Grid Autosport, WRC, MotoGP, Ride, Gran Turismo, Forza, in the PC space iRacing, no idea about Assetto Corsa but I know people were annoyed at Project Cars being different but to me it was a case of it being a Need For Speed Shift 3 which Shift was more simulation but PC3 is a bit more arcadey in content and feel than 1&2, they are more your simulation type racing games to compare. There isn't many arcade racers these days though unless you go Indie nostalgia ones (Outrun clones, of may Ridge Racer like ones) or your big name NFS/Forza Horizon, The Crew, TrackMania and such) on Switch. But Wii U always had Need For Speed Most Wanted and that was about the most major you were getting. It looks better and higher quality than the PS2 one that's smaller but similar purpose that I have a Tru Blu wheel. Then again the Wii U has no Project Cars 1 on it that was cancelled that port so otherwise it was good for kart racers, certain arcadey (your wave race/jet ski style, 3DS got Outrun and many bike games or Spy Hunter being a more vehicular combat game), and futuristic ones that was about it. I guess F1 the cartoony one was there and some arcade top down ones exist that are very retro style but no MotoGP/WRC at all or Sim of other games known from the era. Even the 3DS had one WRC, Ridge Racer, Driver Renegade and Asphalt 3D are apparently bad, a F1 2011 (Vita had 3, 4 & 5 but still compared to the Switch having many entries). I prefer Wii over 7 though to play though if I had a working Double Dash I'd say that but I have a dead copy. For feel of controls for content not sure. I think plastic/peripherals did it for sure. I think 'actual peripherals' than plastic shells is better but still the illusion works. You would pretend to drive with the wheel for sure as a kid or understanding a controller. Ah how we prefer to play not have things automated. XD I find tilting motion controls not that possible in racing games. I think Mario Kart Wii did it well though, from my tests with Need For Speed Nitro on Wii, Gear Club Unlimited 2 on Switch or Gran Turismo 5 onwards with Sixaxis/Dualshock 3s for PS3 and GT Sport on PS4 Dualshock 4s I just can't do it, it doesn't work well for those arcadey or simulation physics/feel for those games unfortunately. Driving to me is boring IRL regardless of speed signs (gamer first, not into cars but knowledgeable from games aspects about cars. Gran Turismo 3 and Project Gotham Racing 2&3 are my favourite physics in games, but do they have the most realistic physics no they don't even if one is simulation in its tagline it's fun enough assists on and off, tossing a rally car is more fun then other entries or even WRC games for me. The other an arcadey racer with city custom tracks that are well designed and gameplay mode type approach (and Geometry Wars because why not in there) with Driveclub being the closest successor to that) I think real world physics suck over video game physics in simulators and arcadey racing games and I'm not big on most of the maybe 20+ I've played. Driving slower cars is fine in a video game, fast ones vary in fun if the physics are good (i.e. GT3) in real life it doesn't feel great at all for weight, pedals, steering, any of it for the slower cars (I hate Sedans to drive IRL so I go for Hatches IRL but even still they are the least annoying for me to drive). Driving in a simulation or arcade (I find kart racers boring or the AI cheat) is more fun. I've played Mario Kart Wii and 7 and they are....... Fine. I prefer other racing games or on the Wii especially Need for Speed Nitro or GT Pro Series (Ubisoft published and made the wheel for that game and others I think, otherwise MTO made good racing games) but still I get why it was popular, I personally find the games fine the feel isn't as fun as Crash Team Racing one of the few kart Racers I can stand (prefer F Zero or WipEout or Redout instead) for me but still.
Im a huge fan of motion controls, the arcade series, 7, gyro in tour enabled. just bought the wii wheel, console and mk wii (missed out on the console as a kid) which comes tomorrow, nice timing of the video lol.
I like to imagine that Scott’s laying on his stomach with his feet waving in the air.
Never learn what his carpet actually is, it will haunt you
the idea of that makes me giggle
@@Lunar_Atronach my whole life was ruined when I learned the truth
I'll ruin it for him, its a carpet on a table.
I feel that he sounds like a FaceTime with my boyfriend or friends
I love that these videos still have the "Scott The Woz feeling" in it while being a different style of video
This style always reminds me of Classic Game Room; a gaming web series that looks at pretty much everything gaming. And these really feel like the hardware reviews.

Really funny how Scott's Stash became a more traditional videogame channel over the years
I just realized that this channel has been around for over 3 years. It feels like it was yesterday.

don’t forget about the labo wheel that works for MK8D as well, a true legend
we don't talk about labo here
We’re talkin about plastic here, not cardboard
Thought you typed mkbhd lmao
Even Scott can’t be dealing with all that cardboard.
And the motorbike handles! Both are absolutely atrocious to use, but hey, at least it helps to give you some perspective on the quality of the default motion control schemes...
I am shocked that Scott didn’t reveal he bought another Wii U specifically for the Mario colored wheel
I thought he already has that one.
@@xXOpenYourHeart759Xx He has like 5
This man is the only person who can get 22 minutes about an over priced piece of plastic
Imagine how long he could talk about the L button
@@roderickbawcutt the L button is actually 96% the price of any controller

Hopefully 5 years from now we might get a remake
5 years!? I can’t wait that long! I hope it’s next week
When I discovered the first person mode as a kid I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Wait there is ?
Only in Mario Kart 7. No other game has it.
@@onerandomguy4832 did he watch the video he asked tsss off course its scott cant skip a video can i ?
I can’t believe we discovered scot in first person
Funny how Mario kart wii did not turn out to be a casual. It actually became the most competitive game in the the whole franchise
Mario Kart Melee
ikr
I remember playing Mario Kart Wii with my cousin back then, every time he used the Wii Wheel and I always said "Hey man, are you sure you want to use the Wii Wheel and not the GameCube Controller?" And yet he still went with the Wii Wheel and he always wondered why he lost.
i always won with the wii wheel until i realized that nunchuck controls was even better
In my friends group we preferred the Wiimote not in wheel vs in.
And yes when figured out the nunchuck worked it was a game changer. Far less fighting over GC controllers.
Isn't the GameCube controller kinda unconventional? Especially since tricking is mapped to the goddamn D-pad for no reason?
I just feel WiiMote and Nunchuck is the most conventional
I spent 23 minutes and 21 seconds watching scott talk about wheels. This is peak living. You're a treasure scott.
*and 22 seconds
Scott has found a niche that works, he’s mastered how to find something random and make it entertaining with his amazing commentary.
One pro i can say about the 3ds wheel is that it makes the 3ds much more comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions. It is basically the same as grips on a controller.
Yea I permanently had my 3DS in one one of those wheels for that very reason
I got the 3DS Wheel as a birthday present back in 2012.
_Rarely_ did I ever use it as a wheel. But as a sort of grip case? It was perfect!
Yeah, it actually makes the original 3DS comfortable for hours long play sessions. Because holy poop did the original 3DS hurt after a while to play.
The Wii Wheel made my dream come true
I was able to ride Luigi!
What in the fuck
Huh
My life changed when I found out you could just play Mario Kart Wii with the gamecube controller...... This was in 2018. I got the game in 2008.
I remember the day when my parents, for the beginning of the school year, bought the family a Wii and Mario kart to go with it. Truly one of the best moments of my childhood.
The wii wheel was my childhood, so many hours of playing with tilt controls.

Hi Scitt
Scott talks about putting rectangles into circles and its actually entertaining
Personally, I'm waiting for Mario Takes the Train, the eco friendly, accessible sequel franchise - comes with an accessory smart card that you can tap to the console's NFC reader to pay the fare
Mario Kart Wii is probably the Mario Kart that I played the most. It was so responsive, and playing with the wheel was so much fun
I just got out of the hospital! And my grandparents died 17 days apart! And this was awaiting me as I was home just crazy how time flies and I really didn't know what was going on besides a lot! This game represents a part of my childhood that I can vaguely remember about the game. And more about my actual life.
Sorry for your loss my guy!
Scott I have to say, this type of video is a wonderful supplement with your main channel's content!
The 3DS Wheel is one of those things I want just because it exists
23 minutes of content about a plastic wheel. Thank you!
I miss this generation of consoles so much. The wii, the 360, the DS, I wanna go back…
I don't. That hardware sucked, and I can play every game from that era that I cared about on better consoles.
Except Mario Party 8 and Wii Sports Resort.
I like watching Scott’s stash at night, it just has more of a feeling where it is like he’s talking directly to you, probably because of the lack of a ton of editing like the usual vids

I didn't mind the style of just a handcam with minimum editing at all (I could listen to Scott rambling anything tbh) but I commend you effort despite this being a side "free talk" channel
At this point Scott could do with rebranding Scott's Stash as this top tier video game talking... 20 minutes on wheels!
I FUCKING HATE CIRCLES
9:06 Scott face reveal
We finally know!!!
Wow he looks nothing like how I expected him to
omg!!!1!1!1111!!!!!!
These are the videos we live for. Thank you scott
Surprised Scott didn't add/show off the Nintendo Labo motorcycle. It technically counts as a "Mario Kart Wheel".
I FUCKING LOVE CIRCLES
Funfact: There's another, non listed in this video, official steering wheel made by Nintendo
It's the Labo Steering wheel. It's also compatible with Mario Kart and Grid, oddly enough.
Can you imagine using the racing wheel for MK DS where you have to mash left and right to mini turbo?
I actually bought the joycon wheels at their launch specifically for them improving the triggers of the sideways joycon when I played multiplayer at school. Ended up getting rid of them once I got a second set of joycon to take on the go, but seeing them here just unlocked so many memories
The last game I expected to see over Scott's table was Starcraft II.
Whenever I play Mario Kart Wii with friends, it’s a race to get to either the GameCube controller or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, no one wants to be left with the motion controls, doesn’t matter if it has the wheel or not.
Very similar experience.
almost a Scott The Woz feeling episode. rather formatted and quipy. I do kinda miss the ones about specific things like this. Simple but effective.
3:32 Mainly due to the fact that you can get so amazingly good at it
If Scott can make a twenty three minute video about the Wii Wheel, then surely he can find some way to actually make a video about the L button.
@Msg.OfficialJimmydarts0 Not even the right channel, dummy.
9:37 this was something as a kid that really messed me up after playing mario kart wii, i thought that the controls were the same, and almost snapped my 3ds in half trying to shake the console to do a trick

"Over Shotting and Under Shotting"
- Scott Wozniak 2022
The start of this video is like a retelling of the start of Scotts old MKwii retrospective, but longer
I 100% completed Mario Kart Wii using the wheel. One of my best gaming accomplishments. I only use it when I play Mario Kart Wii. Happy to have that Gold Wheel Icon on my menu. Haha.
People: (Plays Mario Kart)
3rd Party Companies: “Allow us to introduce ourselves.”

H these vids are so relaxing and comforting
I haven't used a Wii Wheel in a long time! I just use the grip cover on my Wiimote and it works just fine. Controls are phenomenal.
for the wii u i was genuinely thinking scott was gonna pull out some massive ass plastic wheel shell that encases the wii u gamepad
Whoa, seeing scott in the 3ds reflection was delightfully jarring!
I love the videos on this channel
Scott talking about simracers for a moment put a smile on my face
i've been playing mario kart wii online lately, it's absolutely amazing that the community is still active to this day, despite the games servers being down for at least 8 years. that game is absolutely legendary. anyone who played it growing up has to hop back online it's such a nostalgia trip
It's just a shame that most players now are complete sweats
I've found myself more drawn to these videos recently! They're nice and full of information, but in a Scott style~~

I always remember this black Wii wheel that had 2 grips on the side. It felt amazing, and it was the only way I'd play
I don't have the 3DS wheel but it at least looks like a good way to make the 3DS feel more like a traditional controller
15:55 I think it was because at the time of the Switch's launch they were really honing in on the fact you could play 2 player anywhere with one system.
In additon to all of these, the steering wheel from the Nintendo Labo vehicle kit and motorcycle handlebars from the variety kit also work with MK8D.
The joycon-wheel might actually be nice for "regular" side-ways joycon use like scott mentioned! l dont really play like that anymore but around the launch when fewer of my friends had their own switches it would probably have been more comfortable to play them in those holders rather than with/without the little clasp nintendo provided. huh

Scott’s stash has just become a more informal version of Scott the woz
The Ashens of video games. Making videos on things from a brown couch, and Scott making videos on gaming things from a carpet. It checks out.
I always used the nunchuck in MKW, but my brothers both had wheels. We had the official one, that came with the game, and a random third party wheel (by gamexpert). I actually preferred the third party wheel whenever I did use the wheel, it was just bigger and more comfortable in my hands.
Dude I’ve binged all the console videos that Scott has and they’re honestly just as entertaining as the main channel videos
Video on Wiimote skins/straps when?
If Scott doesn't talk about the Madagascar kartz wheel, I am going to freak.
I remember my friend having a pair of wheels and pedals for N64. That was really fun for Mario Kart 64.
When I first played Mario Kart Wii in 2009, I always used the Wii Wheel because I just thought it looked cool. A few years later I just used the Wii Remote on its side and thought it actually worked way better (it also helped that I actually got good at the game). Then in high school I switched over to the Wiimote and Nunchuck and haven’t looked back since.
Mario Kart Wii defined my childhood with the Wii! I love that game, flaws and all, and the Wii Wheel made it even better!
Oof. I really related to not knowing what automatic & manual drift was when for a while. I didn't find out what the drift was until Mario Kart 7.
On the topic of stache: I don't think there's enough discussion of the split that happened in Nintendo's brand image of Mario back with Paper Mario. Paper Mario depicts Mario's moustache as brown, matching his hair (as it should be!), and it also depicts the bill of his hat as brown as well. I prefer these changes. Nobody has brown hair and a black moustache.
Also, Scott, why don't you have a stache? Definitely need one to be posting here.
I remember so well buying it on release. With the big box it felt like a special edition
It amazes me how scott can make an entertaining, 23 minute (!!) video about a plastic wheel
I accidentally clicked on scotts stash and thought I was in the main channel, and I saw this video and clicked on it thinking it was a new scott upload.
it took me about 10 minutes before I realized it was a scott's stash video.
scott should become a salesman because, had no clue a old wheel existed or a pro switch wheel but now i want one
I loved the 3ds wheel as a kid not because it was a wheel, but because it made the ds more comfortable to hold like a normal controller
Idk how many notice, but I love the crinkle cut cardboard edges on the Wii products
One of my favourite things abt Mario Kart Wii is that the online mode allowed you to lie about using motion controls. You had a preset set of phrases you could say before a race, and one of them was "I‘m using motion controls!", which i LOVED spamming with my Gamecube controller 😌
I have a third party one that's bigger and personally I find it more comfortable, you can also use the Nunchuck with it, there's a connection that you open, put the Wii Remote in, close it, amd then there's a lid in the back that you pop off and plug your Nunchuck. I don't why anyone would do it, but you can.
We need more Scott ranting about obsolete Nintendo products.
scott’s stash is just scott the woz but not canon
I remember how hard to find Mario Kart Wii was when it launched. The game launched I'm April 2008, I didn't get a copy until November that same year.
20:17, got one of these for my son's 3rd bday and he loves it. We only use it maybe once a month but if you want a real challenge, play F-Zero 99 with it.
had this up on the other monitor playing trackmania and zoning out, then looked over and tuned back in at 19:17
footage of scott using a wheel to steer a bike is nuts
Seen the 3DS/Joycons wheels, did surprise me when I first saw them going what why! I think the plastic buttons do help for sure by the look. The Hori (proper) wheel peripheral with Mario stuff on it was hilarious to watch someone review as to me it doesn't work as well for Mario Kart as motion controls do especially with an automated control scheme compared to other racing games (Gear Club Unlimited 1&2 and Need for Speed are arcade racers, open world racing games are arcade ones to my knowledge don't know a single simulation one, Grid Autosport, WRC, MotoGP, Ride, Gran Turismo, Forza, in the PC space iRacing, no idea about Assetto Corsa but I know people were annoyed at Project Cars being different but to me it was a case of it being a Need For Speed Shift 3 which Shift was more simulation but PC3 is a bit more arcadey in content and feel than 1&2, they are more your simulation type racing games to compare. There isn't many arcade racers these days though unless you go Indie nostalgia ones (Outrun clones, of may Ridge Racer like ones) or your big name NFS/Forza Horizon, The Crew, TrackMania and such) on Switch. But Wii U always had Need For Speed Most Wanted and that was about the most major you were getting. It looks better and higher quality than the PS2 one that's smaller but similar purpose that I have a Tru Blu wheel.
Then again the Wii U has no Project Cars 1 on it that was cancelled that port so otherwise it was good for kart racers, certain arcadey (your wave race/jet ski style, 3DS got Outrun and many bike games or Spy Hunter being a more vehicular combat game), and futuristic ones that was about it. I guess F1 the cartoony one was there and some arcade top down ones exist that are very retro style but no MotoGP/WRC at all or Sim of other games known from the era. Even the 3DS had one WRC, Ridge Racer, Driver Renegade and Asphalt 3D are apparently bad, a F1 2011 (Vita had 3, 4 & 5 but still compared to the Switch having many entries).
I prefer Wii over 7 though to play though if I had a working Double Dash I'd say that but I have a dead copy. For feel of controls for content not sure.
I think plastic/peripherals did it for sure. I think 'actual peripherals' than plastic shells is better but still the illusion works. You would pretend to drive with the wheel for sure as a kid or understanding a controller.
Ah how we prefer to play not have things automated. XD I find tilting motion controls not that possible in racing games. I think Mario Kart Wii did it well though, from my tests with Need For Speed Nitro on Wii, Gear Club Unlimited 2 on Switch or Gran Turismo 5 onwards with Sixaxis/Dualshock 3s for PS3 and GT Sport on PS4 Dualshock 4s I just can't do it, it doesn't work well for those arcadey or simulation physics/feel for those games unfortunately.
Driving to me is boring IRL regardless of speed signs (gamer first, not into cars but knowledgeable from games aspects about cars. Gran Turismo 3 and Project Gotham Racing 2&3 are my favourite physics in games, but do they have the most realistic physics no they don't even if one is simulation in its tagline it's fun enough assists on and off, tossing a rally car is more fun then other entries or even WRC games for me. The other an arcadey racer with city custom tracks that are well designed and gameplay mode type approach (and Geometry Wars because why not in there) with Driveclub being the closest successor to that) I think real world physics suck over video game physics in simulators and arcadey racing games and I'm not big on most of the maybe 20+ I've played. Driving slower cars is fine in a video game, fast ones vary in fun if the physics are good (i.e. GT3) in real life it doesn't feel great at all for weight, pedals, steering, any of it for the slower cars (I hate Sedans to drive IRL so I go for Hatches IRL but even still they are the least annoying for me to drive).
Driving in a simulation or arcade (I find kart racers boring or the AI cheat) is more fun. I've played Mario Kart Wii and 7 and they are....... Fine.
I prefer other racing games or on the Wii especially Need for Speed Nitro or GT Pro Series (Ubisoft published and made the wheel for that game and others I think, otherwise MTO made good racing games) but still I get why it was popular, I personally find the games fine the feel isn't as fun as Crash Team Racing one of the few kart Racers I can stand (prefer F Zero or WipEout or Redout instead) for me but still.
I got my mario kart with the wheel the Christmas it came out. My aunt got it for me, I WAS SO HYPED
Wheelie good episode 👍
Great video
I played Mario Kart Wii so much as a kid, so I became one of those people who was good with the wheel
Im a huge fan of motion controls, the arcade series, 7, gyro in tour enabled. just bought the wii wheel, console and mk wii (missed out on the console as a kid) which comes tomorrow, nice timing of the video lol.
