Ubisoft Wii steering wheel revealed

IGN got their grubby hands on the forthcoming Ubisoft steering wheel, and of course, overlaid their cheap looking watermark on the public image. At first I wasn’t too thrilled with the idea of a steering wheel, but this looks like it could be fun.

  1. THRUSTMASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The name alone has my money – the thrustmaster gamecube pad was an arse, whose only saving grace was its ridiculous name,, heh – but this actually looks good too! LOL

  2. This looks cool. It could get tiring to hold up for a long time though. Then again, it's a workout too! w00t!

  3. I hope the game it self is a high production true sim racer. No cell shade please!!! As for the steering wheel… it seems gimmiky to me. I would hope i will have the option to use the classic controller shell instead.

  4. I just read this game is cell shade…I will not buy this sh*t. When will Nintendo ever get a real serious Racer Sim. To me, a cell shader racer sim is a joke… plus a gimmiky controller attachment. It seems the wait continues for a real serious racer sims.

  5. morningstarrising,Don't be stupid…$600 plus… i can get a bad ass computer with that money. The point I am trying to make is that Nintendo needs a serious car sim. This problem have been around for at least 2 gen of Nintendo. Nintendo have to create or get support in this area since. When people take about racers serious mature racers… Nintendo is never mention… that have to change and the Wii needs adress this. PS2 and Xbox have great racer sims…there is no reason why Wii (much more powerful) can't do the same. Thats the point was making. Ubisoft making GT Pro cell shade with weak production effort (the game looks cheap) and a gimmiky controller is not helping.

  6. well, i think its needs to be WHITE, else it won;t look sexy with my white wii, but apart from that, this will be cool.

  7. Looks cool, but I don't understand how we will use it… shouldn't it have some kind of anchoring, so you can steer it comfortably?And as far as "serious" racing sims go, just try Forza Motorsports on the Xbox! If they port that one to the Wii, with a steering wheel support, I'll be a happy camper!

  8. I could see how this would be appealing for lots of people who are into racers. It doesn't look like there are any buttons on it, so it could be used for other games, like Excite Truck.It's not something I would buy though.

  9. It looks so sleek and sexy!! But then… and i just suppose to lift it up in the air? Cuz it doesn't have a base for support

  10. I would really like to know why cel shading makes a racing game a not true sim? So if Forza and Gran Turismo were exactly the same but cel shaded, then they would no longer be true sims? Your argument is weak, Jadnice (though I too hope the Wii will have a great racer), I would like to see you explain your point.I like the idea of a steering wheel attachment. It seems practical.

  11. If you peeps think Nintendo can't make a racing game, your on crack ;-), F-Zero was hardcore and difficult that you needed to practice day in day out shaving time of your laps. Mario cart, not a sim but a racing game that has been a million seller, multiple times. ….and Forza will never, ever see the light of day on a nintendo console. Viva Infendo, Viva the Wii!Ciao
