Nope. Its the real deal. I'm liking it more and more. Some of the older tracks have been redone and look beautiful, also you can use a gamecube controller if you want. I need to get some wavebirds. That would be ideal. My only gripe and its pretty minor, is that they give out the blue shell to the computer a little too liberally...Oh and its always nice to be hit by a shell and then immediately followed by a lightning bolt!

I dunno, I'm going with HAX.

Sweet man, glad to hear you're enjoying it. I think I will eventually pick this one up, probably during the summer sometime.

How challenging would you say the game has been so far? A few of the previews I've read have mentioned that Nintendo is trying to appeal to the more casual Wii audience by dumbing down the difficulty for this Kart outing, so I'm just curious about whether there's any truth to that.

It doesn't feel dumbed down to me. I've had some pretty close races in 50cc, I can only imagine how hard 150cc is!!

Oooh, suddenly I am more excited for this game

I wanted to know if you have used the steering wheel to operate it yet or just the game cube controller? I want the game, but I'm not to sure about the motion steering wheel thing and whether it was useful or not?

The steering wheel is really only for looks. I mean all you do is put the Wiimote in the steering wheel. It doesnt have any buttons or anything. You can just use the Wiimote like you would in Excitetruck and it works exactly the same. I've also used the gamecube controller and it controls exactly like Double Dash.

I bought this today. IT is amazing. Although, (maybe it's just me), but the buttons to "hop" and "wheelie" don't seem to do anything.

The wheel is slightly more comfortable than just the remote, IMO

oh and...

for my hands, the wheel is way more comfortable than the remote. alone. I use the motion controls to wheelie. I haven't got the hop to work yet.

Has anybody played this with a gamecube controller? I'm just curious to know how it compares to using the Wii Remote...
