Gaming What Mario Kart Wii control scheme do YOU use?

[Prime]

When i get it (most likely Friday, Saturday or Monday) i will be using the Wiimote with or without the wheel i haven't decided yet.

I use the Wiimote and Nunchuck so far. I only played it for about 2 hours but I will try the GC controller.

I will get the whell also, I want to try that.

The game is not out yet so I can't vote yet.

 

[superrob]

[Salamantis]

What makes you think I'm playing this game?

HMM?

 

[Artheido]

Classical just seems practical for me.

+1 for Classical

 

[bosscolor]

For now wiimote + nunchuk

But I want to try with wiiwheel so I'll buy one

Wiimote only sux

 

[King Zargo]

GameCube baybee yeah!!!

I like the wheel/wiimote option.. but i tried both for alot of races and the cube controller gives you a hell of alot more control.

 

[dreadyz]

I just tried every control option available to me and here is my personal preference from best to worst:
Nunchuck + Wiimote
Gamecube Controller
Classic Controller
Wiimote
Wii Wheel

I was looking at some photos of the new Wii Wheel that comes with Mario Kart and it looks like it is more ergonomically designed than the one I have. The positioning of the b button is awkward and hand placement is very unnatural for me. I really wish that Nintendo would make a proper mountable wheel with brake and gas pedals. I know it probably won't happen though.

I wouldn't go back to n64 or gamecube controllers even if they were a lot better for handling. Screw you guys

Same goes for SSMB

Super Smash Mothers Brawl?

I have been using my Wiimote only but after reading all the comments I think its time to give the Wavebird a go.

 

[slvrdrgn123]

Using Wiimote and Nunchuck. Tried the Wiimote but it wasn't very effective.

 

[--JoCa--]

Same goes for SSMB

It's SSBB, and it's clearly intended to be played with either the Classic or the GameCube controller

WTF!! the best controller for SSBB is the Wiimote + Nunchuk style, w/ modification (down arrow jumping)... I mean, no wire, your hands are free and you can play wherever you like...

and i think the wiimote on the wheel is the best option... once you get used to it, that is

The only legitimate control scheme is Wiimote and Nunchuck. You can still obtain the trick boosts, do wheelies on the bike (To make up for bikes only getting one mini-boost from power sliding), and you don't have to move your only steering method to do them.

 

[The Afroman]

You can still do trick boosts with gc controller.. "up on the control pasd"

 

[blueskies]

I voted cube controller because I tried one race with the Wiimote and didn't like it at first. cube controller is familiar and good for tight races. But I gave the Wiimote a try again today and it's actually not that bad. I was able to power slide around corners and it caught all the little adjustments just fine. I think it will be more fun when my Wii Wheel comes.

ps2 controller via gc controller adapter thing.

Just the wiimote, I wanted Mario Kart Wii, and without Wii controls, it might as well have been a GameCube game. The Wii Wheel would have been nice to have though.

The Wii remote control was really awkward at first, but I persisted and now I'm used to the sensitivity of it. Can't wait for the weekend to get the game and wheel attachment!
