Official Wii Wheel (Wii) - Wii Remote Not Included

Product Information

I didn't buy MKWii for the longest time because I thought that you could ONLY use motion controls and I didn't like those (played it a few times at a friends house). So yeah, I'm definitely someone who plays MK with buttons

Development of a motion-enabled controller began when development of the Wii console started in 2001. In that year, Nintendo licensed a number of motion-sensing patents from Gyration Inc., a company that produces wireless motion-sensing computer mice. [5] Gyration had previously pitched their idea and patents of a motion controller to Sony and Microsoft, who both declined. [6] Nintendo then commissioned Gyration to create a one-handed controller for it, [5] which eventually became the "Gyropod", a more traditional gamepad which allowed its right half to break away for motion-control. [5] At this point, Gyration brought in a separate design firm, Bridge Design, to help pitch its concept to Nintendo. [7] Under requirement to "roughly preserve the existing Game Cube[ sic] button layout", it experimented with different forms "through sketches, models and interviewing various hardcore gamers". [7] By "late 2004, early 2005", however, Nintendo had come up with the Wii Remote's less traditional "wand shape", and the design of the Nunchuk attachment. [8] Nintendo had also decided upon using a motion sensor, infrared pointer, and the layout of the buttons, [8] and by the end of 2005 the controller was ready for mass production.

The hardware allows for extendability (via expansion ports), while the firmware (and some software) could receive periodic updates via the WiiConnect24 service. Playing racing games without a wheel (or motion controls simulating a wheel) feels so lifeless to me after enjoying Mario Kart Wii with the wheel/motion controls.Nintendo of America Initiates Replacement Program for Wrist Straps Used with Controllers for the Wii Video Game System".
