Wii Wheel (aka: plastic shell) sold separately for $14.99

What are you, jacking my D? It's robbery.

...that means Mario Kart Wii is worth 35$.* No wonders it looks like shit.**


*j/k. I know this game will be worth more than my 50 bucks.

**Seriously, I know it doesn't look like shit. But it's obvious the game isn't made by the ones who made SMG

Why the hell don't they just sell Mario Kart Wii for $34.99???

I'm willing to bet that the wheel will be $10 at most other retailers. keep in mind gamestop was charging $25 for the wii zapper combo, while other places were charging $20. I know most of you will still feel its not worth the tenner, but still.

Maybe it's made of solid gold plastic. Did ya ever stop to consider that, ya whiners?!

No, of course not!

tsk tsk tsk Nintendonald's, shame on you.

Nintendo is turning into a company that nickels and dimes everyone.

"If you ask us, that's pretty steep when you consider the Wii Wheel is just a plastic shell; you're better off putting that $15 towards a used Gamecube controller which, praise be to Bowser, will work just fine with Mario's latest racing simulator."

Can someone PLEASE explain this logic to me?

I thought the entire purpose of the Wii was to push the innovation of games by changing the standard control scheme that we are all used to. The Wii was supposed to push the envelope and make developers and gamers alike think differently about how we play games...

by still using a gamecube controller?

This makes no fucking sense!

If the Wii is the innovative masterpiece that all of you bought into, then why aren't you suggesting we use this awesome motion control stuff, huh? I thought it was the wave of the future!? I thought ten years from now we'd all be playing games like this?

I mean, you know because tilting a controller like a steering wheel TOTALLY immerses you into the game, and is like, TOTALLY innovative.

God I hate the Wii.

Please excuse the rant, I just have trouble understanding what is so great about this horrible piece of shit of a video game system. Somehow Nintendo has now LITERALLY fooled all of you into buying a gamecube AGAIN.

Praise be to Bowser!

huh, dont think its worth it.

It is just piece of plastic,but who knows it could be useful for future wii games, though asking for 15 fucking dollars is pretty stupid. $5 should be enough for me

First news of another 50 Cent game, and now this? (Not necessarily in that order.) ... Actually, this isn't much compared to the 50 Cent thing. I'm losing faith in humanity.

Mal F4cti0n, yes I have 2 that I don't use anymore. One is a Madcatz for Xbox/ps2/GC and one is a Momo for the PC.

Damn, the generation of overpriced controllers just got a lot more insane

maybe its to encourage people to buy it with the game and save, or something

What's funnier, is that a 3rd party Wii Steering Wheel is avaliable in the UK for £14.99... ($30). Sounds more reasonable for it to cost nearer £5 than £15. Either way, I wont be buying any useless attachments for the Wii, especially if they're over £5.

Wow!! That's smartest business decision!!!!

The plastic costs probably $0.05 - rest is pure profit!!!!

Sony, MSFT - watch out for N skyrocketing shares!!!!!!!

[/sarcasm]

It's not just a plastic shell! It has that huge button on the back to make sliding more easy. Get your facts straight, lol

I think they released this at $14.99 to give people a reason to complain.... if you look around, most 3rd party Wii wheel attachments released currently are -more- expensive than this (up to $29.99). And that's without a B button extension, hole in the side to allow for IR pointing, and pass through for the wrist strap... in other words, Nintendo's has more thought put into it, is first party, and cheaper than most of what's out there already.

And this is the Wii... the console that emphasizes different ways of gaming, getting into games more physically... the attachment is going to appeal to new/casual gamers mostly... most of us here will obviously use the Gamecube controller. If you wanna truly gripe about money, how about $10 for the 3 new Halo maps in April...

i'm going to buy an extra one

I can see including one, if your Grandparents/Parents/Gaming-Challenged associates wanted to play with you. Buying two, now you're running a halfway house for non-gamers, a speakeasy hiding from the hardcore police. That, my friends, would just be immoral.

We're all forgetting the most important feature of this product; it's Nintendo therefore it is an INDESTRUCTIBLE $15 piece of plastic.

Plus it doubles as a Frisbee.

They sold the actual "wii" wheel for $10 at K-mart and 15 at GS, but GS did have the cheaper wtv brand of the wheel...Regardless I bought a second one from K-mart thinking I actually needed it to play. It turned out to be a good buy, My 2 year old luvs it, it makes her feel like she's part of the action when myself and the wifey play. Lots of fun, but I still prefer my 360. the wii is more of family fun together. She likes it tho, and my ps3 is a wonderful blu-ray player just haven't found another use for it, maybe when FF rpgs come out. Off topic for a sec. seriously don't waste you money either way, with gas prices and food prices on the rise, the 10 I spent on the wheel, left me cold and dead inside.
