I don't see why it's that big a deal. I was planning to use the Wheel anyways.

I have to admit I'm still curious as to how much fun it will be with a group of friends. I can see four of us in the same room having a blast. And I want to know what the bike control is like. Maybe I will convince my friend to buy it, and then try out his copy. :lol

So there is a rumor out saying that this game is also being plagued by disc errors just like SSBB. Hopefully it isn't true.

They found the GCN Controller and the Nunchuk combo to be the fastest option. And the Wiimote by itself is horrible.

 

[fhqwhgads]

Are wheels sold separately?

 

[aleeock157]

If you look at the box, it's bigger than normal. It comes with a wheel.

 

[fhqwhgads]

I know...I was wondering if you could buy a second separately.

 

[MegaDrive20XX]

Good question, FHQ. So far I haven't heard about releasing the wheel by itself.
