Will MK8 be motion controlled steering (via gamepad AND wiimotes) like MK on the Wii or can you simply use the left analog stick/D pad for wiimotes to steer your kart?


You can choose between motion or analog steering on the gamepad, but from what I can tell, Wiimote is motion controls only.

You can also use the Wiimote/nunchuck combo for analogue stick steering just like the Wii version.


Yep, but I believe he was asking about the Wiimote by itself specifically since he mentioned the D-pad, and so that's what I answered!

Thanks guys! Looks like ill be passing on MK8.  Using motion controls for MK on the Wii was a huge let down and will never want to play it like that again. If they can give the Wiimote the option to choose motion or D-pad then im back in.

Why can't you just use Wiimote+Nunchuck, the Pro Controller, or the Gamepad? The latter-most option is the best option anyway!

I have a gamepad, 4 wiimotes and 1 nunchuck, and don't plan to buy anymore nunchucks or pro controllers.  As well, I would only play this game with my friends and kids and we all dislike playing using motion controlling and the wiimote+nunchuck combo.  So whoever has the gamepad would have the upperhand.  I can't see why Nintendo would be so stupid and not have the option of just using the D-pad for just the wiimote rather than using motion to steer.

Side note: Im left handed so I hate wii games that requires the wiimote+nunchuck combo where I need to use my right hand to point accurately at things. (I have to switch and put the wiimote on my left hand every time lol)
