I think it's gonna be cool to use the Wiimote as a steering wheel, but I was thinking the experience would be a lot more immersive using the Wii Balance Board to mimic accelerator/brake pedals. It'll be just like playing in arcades but in your home. What do you guys think? Imagine Sega Rally with this control scheme :shock:

Standing up while driving isn't exactly second nature for many people.

Good idea at first but when you think about it there's no replacing a set of pedals

I suppose it'd really depend on how sensitive the balance board is. (eg. will it respond when the bulk of your weight is planted on a couch?)

I dont think you need to stand in order for the balance board to sense how much pressure is being put on it. I figured all you'd need to do is press your foot down on one side of the balance board when you wanna accelorate and on the other when you need to brake.

I'm thinking that Mario Kart's controls are going to be like SSBB. You can choose what u want.
