Remember how Nintendo revealed that in Mario Kart Wii players will have the option to choose their controller, meaning you are also able to use the Wii Classic Controller and the Gamecube Controller, and not just the Wii remote? Many fans became very excited about this fact, and were pleased that Nintendo had given them options here as many didn't like the idea of tilting the Wii remote, like Excite Truck. Well; here comes the bombshell...
In a recent fact sheet, posted on Nintendo's press site, the sheet states that players who don't use the Wii remote controls will not not be able to pull off "some maneuvers" and won't be able to perform "certain moves".
So I'm guessing you're thinking, 'what moves exactly'? Well, nobody is quite sure yet, but it is sure to be revealed soon; especially with the game coming out next Friday in the UK. It is said though that the new mid-air tricks will be among those possible, as IGN have said that these can be performed using the d-pad. Could this be a sly trick to encourage more players to use the Wii Wheel? I don't know, but we'll find out soon enough.
