I feel that the button placement makes it easier to perform different moves more quickly and the D-Pad is better than the C-stick, because in the heat of battle you can be sure that you are definitely pressing a certain direction.]]>Apr 26th 2008 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/joystiq-goes-all-out-with-mario-kart-wii-controller-comparison/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/joystiq-goes-all-out-with-mario-kart-wii-controller-comparison/Maybe my techniqe for using wii wheel is bad, but I just found that I can't clear 150cc without using a CG controller.

Don't write off the Wii Wheel just yet - when you get online you start off with 5000 points and gain or lose points depending on how well you fair in races.

Think is, you seem to get more points if you use the Wii Wheel as the Wii knows which control system you are using. My brother said it was double the points when using the wheel but I'm not so sure - it's definitely higher tho.

If you get gold in all the races in one player mode using the wheel, you get a nice shiny gold wheel symbol next to your name online! I saw someone from Japan who had 3 gold stars and a gold wheel next to his name, meaning he had done all the races perfectly and got 3 stars on each - surely he must have worked for Nintendo!

Nintendo had to give you some reason for using the wheel as it is unbelievably hard to get to grips with - many times i've wanted to go back to the trusty wavebird! ]]>Apr 28th 2008 8:41AM
