It would be nice to know if when playing a GameCube racing game upon the Wii, if someone could use this controller instead of the old Gamecube controller. Currently one cannot use the Wii controller when playing a Gamecube game so users have to use the joy stick on the old controller. It would be nice to not have to do that.

Very disappointing. Thought this would help my sons with their racing games since the steering wheel without a stand did not work. This didn’t work either, and my sons prefer to use the remote and nunchuk. I do not recommend this product.

In short, this wheel made the transition for my 36 month old daughter from not being able to play Mario Kart to being able to play. There are now two levels she can play without any help. The standard issue steering wheel is great, in my opinion, for adults and older kids, but is too hard for my three year old. This one helps.

This steering wheel:
-resets back to neutral position when not actively turning.
-tilts up and down in addition to turning, but is not distracting.
-has suction cups on the bottom to facilitate mounting.
-is somewhat frustrating for use of those people proficient with the standard issue wheel. Full turning is restricted with this racing wheel, which is fine for small kids.

Frankly, my three year old does several things kids her age cannot, so results may vary. However, this wheel should get your kid playing Mario Cart sooner.

Hopt this Helps! Rating: 4 / 5

This wheel is a good tool for teaching very young players to play Mario Kart Wii. It can help young hands with stabilization and control.

However, it is not at all for more experienced players. The wheel is held steady, so you cannot do anything but turn it left and right. No shaking or vertical movement is allowed. Experienced players cannot perform stunts or tricks and get extra boosts when using this wheel.

I would recommend this wheel as a good starter option for a very young or very inexperienced player. Older or more experienced players will likely outgrow the usefulness of this product very quickly. Rating: 3 / 5
