I'm hoping it's still $50. If it's more then that I expect Nintendo to release a version without the gimmicky wheel at a $50 price point. The Wii Wheel is only a cheap plastic shell that cost maybe $3-5 to make, I'm sure they don't have to increase the price to make money off it.

Yeah I mean they can sell the blast for 20 bucks but that comes with a game...

I hope it is regular price because it isn't anything that special to produce like say a Guitar Hero controller...

Exactly

It's a 50 dollar game

People need to start using common sense and less time listening to rumors.

Thank goodness, it would have been a complete ripoff if the game was $30 more because of it containing a plastic wheel shell thingy.

80 bucks is too much, the steering wheel is fairly simple and there is no way it will cost 30 dollars.

They would make the price like $60 for the added wheel bundle. I doubt they would keep it at $50 with the free wheel.

Haha do you have any proof it'll be $80? Not trying to bash here, but unless anyone has proof one way or another, the smartest thing to do would be to assume the $50 price tag. Nintendo isn't one to rip people off usually.

I agree. $60 is more likely, probably not $50.

That's one question nobody has asked and is an important one. Well since there's all this fuss about wonder if it'll be a high price, I'm assuming Nintendo will first sell the games in bundles then later on, sell them both separately.

If any of you guys are going to use that wheel anyway, why? I might even use a GC controller, but if the remote sideways works, ill use that.

I will not pay more than 50 bucks for the game, actually, I will probably buy brawl first and might wait to get mario kart.

I don't expect Mario Kart to cost any more than a regular game. We'll see what happens, I suppose.

Yeah it's called common sense, its just a piece of plastic, that you dont even need and most people probaly wont even use.

I agree. $60 is more likely, probably not $50.

There is no reason to expect a $60 price tag. The wheel probably costs them less than a dollar to make, if even that much. They won't sell it for more than $50 because a lot of people won't pay more than $50. I already own two wheels and I only have two wiimotes. I wouldn't pay an extra $10 for something that I don't want, need, or can even use.

I would never pay over $50 for it, because I'll end up tossing the steering wheel in the garbage anyways.

That game will sell for 49 dollars and 99 cents. To think or believe that it could be more is to be naive beyond recognition.

if a third party is willing to do that then a first party is almost guuarenteed to do that.
