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) |
You can also play against people online with your GamePad. Most multiplayer games in the past five years lack split screen support anyway. Nintendo games are the rare exception that usually have four player support. So if you're used to playing multiplayer games online than this shouldn't be too big of a deal for you anyway.
Sucks for your family and friends that come over though. Maybe you should tell them to buy their own Pro/ classic controller if they want to play Mario Kart 8 with you since you bothered to buy the system and game already. Or better yet, tell them to buy their own system and game so you can play them online like people do with FPS games
