    I haven't played it since the 64, but its a tried and true game. Should be awesome again.

    I love Mario Kart, I have it on 64, and it was the main reason i picked up a gamecube when it first came out....Can't wait for the wii.

    I loved the 64 version. Its actually the reason I went and bought one from a little hole in the wall game store about two years ago. Dont have a wii, but it seems like it would be weird. I haven't had excellent luck with the sensor thing on wii's.

    You can use the classic controller, Wii remote & nunchuck or get another wheel. IMO the wheel sucks. To hard to control. I love the Wii Remote and nunchuck.

    I bought a couple of wheels so that I'd have one for each remote, but it's definately not a necessity to enjoy the game.

    FWIW: I like the wheel.

    I agree, I always found me self turning the wheel back and forth. Maybe I played SMK and MK64 so much, I am used to the regular controller.

    My biggest complaint is the weapons though. MK was never 100% fair, but this game starting to turn into mario party games, its becoming more luck then skill.

    The wheel is ok, but I just use the classic controller. Game is fun, but I haven't played it much so my brother is always beating me in it.
