How are you going to play mario kart wii?

what control scheme are you guys going to use in Mario kart wii and why?

-Wiimote + nunchuck (A: accelerate, B:brake, Z:items and A+B(A+B not confirmed): Power slide, move with analogue stick, wiggle wiimote and/or nunchuck: Tricks)

-Wii wheel ( 2: accelerate, 1: brake, d pad: items, B or 1+2 power slide, wiggle for tricks)

-GameCube/****c controller ( A: accelerate, B: brake, L: items, R: power slide, analogue stick: move, d pad : tricks).

Ill try the wii wheel and if that doesn't work ill use the wiimote nunchuck witch i hearing good things about it.

(for people who are wondering where i got this info from: IGN and Gamespy)

***News regarding the control schemes, copied right from the official fact sheet***
Wii Remote Controller (with or without Wii Wheel): Steer by tilting the Wii Remote left and right. Or snap the Wii Remote into the Wii Wheel to transform it into a steering wheel for an intuitive, motion-based control scheme.

* Nunchuk Controller: Steer with the Control Stick on the Nunchuk and use the Wii Remote to accelerate, perform tricks and drift.

* cl a ssic Controller: Mario Kart veterans can let their thumbs do the driving with the cl a ssic Controller. However, players cannot perform certain moves with this control scheme.

* Nintendo GameCube Controller: Experienced Mario Kart fans may also enjoy this familiar scheme, although some maneuvers cannot be performed.

It depends on how it controls with the Wii wheel. I want to play with the Wii Wheel but only if its packaged in with the game, is it? :|SMR-Venom

It is.

Totally going to use my hands

I'm going to do it wheel style but without the wheel, I prefer just holding the bar.

Yeah the wheel's just a shell.

I just like the feeling of holding the Wiimote NES style compared to holding the wheel, maybe that'll change with the Nintendo version but I doubt it.

I going for the GC controller, just because I played a lot of Double Dash. But I have to try the Wii Wheel.izayoi

why use the cube controller, that makes the game essentially the same as double dash.

I'll will play the game with one hand on my drink and the other on the steering wheel.8)

Wii Wheel and if I hate it.... Wii mote + Nunchuck.

And if I still hate it. I throw it out the window.

Kidding, I'm going to love it no matter what.

I will play it: Not at all. :)GSU28

Because: you are stupid

So the only way this game is different from Double Dash is that you can shake the wiimote to do tricks?

can somebody please explain to me why you would play with a GCN controller? Isn't one of the best things fr the Wii the revolutionary control system? I understand people played Melee and Double Dash on the GCN, but this is the Wii- not the GCN 2! Move on, and come play in this generation of gaming.nakasa5

If you're given the option why not? I'm not against using new controllers, but why can't you use an older controller?

Does it not seem like a waste to you? You have a new console, yet you aren't experiencing anything new. The Wii's next gen is all about a new type of gameplay. PS3 and the 360 are all about new graphics. Playing a Wii game with a GCN controller is basically the equivalent of choosing to play a PS3 game with PS2 graphics. It seems like you are cheating yourself from the experience of this gen. But hey, whatever suits you, man.

What you're saying makes sense, and in case you didn't see my other post, I am going to use the wii wheel if it turns out to be pretty good, but I'm just not gonna surprised it doesn't work that well, then I'll use the Wiimote and Nunchuck, and if that doesn't work out then I'll use the GC controller. I did the same thing for Brawl. I tried the Wiimote and Nunchuck, didn't like it, so I used the GC controller. I just think it was smart of Nintendo to give players these options for Brawl and MK.

Wii Wheel. I already have a 3rd party one, so I'll have two when I get this.

Gamecube, because it's awesome.

Umm.. my $5 deposit includes a free Steering Wheel with my purchase, so i'm bound to at least try the wheel.. if not, then the classic control or way of the knunchuck... def not the GC controller... why look back :)EnozmeH

The game comes with a free steering wheel controller

You can't experience anything new in a game if you're not playing it with a new controller? So Mario Galaxy would be crap if it wasn't for the wiimote? Please. I might not even get Kart, but if I do, I would have no problem using a gamecube controller if it worked better than the alternative.
