very excited for it as mario kart 64 and double dash are two of my favorite multiplayer games ever (currently doing a year long all-cup double dash tournament with my new roommate hoping to get up to at least 400 all cups by the end of the year (next summer), currently winning 8 to 6!) i trust nintendo much more than any other developer, but i am worried about that wiiwheel. first of all never been a fan of having to buy addons to play certain games if you can only play it by having the wheel, i am not gonna want to buy one extra wheel let alone 3 extra. secondly after playing excite truck i realized that controlling a car by tilting the controller is actually not that fun. I think control with the analog stick with some motion controls for maybe power sliding and throwing the items would be perfect. If they could make the controls precise enough imagine being able to throw any item in any direction 360 degrees around your cart simply by say holding a button and flicking your wrist in that direction.
anyway as i said still very excited about this game. cannot wait for online mario kart. that'll be like a dream come true!!!! probably my most anticipated game for next year besides star wars force unleashed and fable 2. i'm just praying that wiiwheel is actually fun and i'd be very surprised and happy if it is more fun than a normal analog stick control scheme.
