Whoever came up with the idea of the steering wheel needs to be shot. Nintendo needs to drop the gimmick. no one cares. Its nice though that they tried to make it more than a plastic cup holder for the wiimote by adding a button or two on the back. Kudos to Nintendo. But its another unnecessary attatchment for the wiimote - just like those dumb golf clubs and baseball bats that can be attatched to the wiimote.

And also....don't know if I will get this game. Don't know why...just for some reason, not interested in it much.

Personally, I think the bikes kill the game. Is the name of the game not Mario Kart? It kills the originality of the very first game. Having Karts was simple and fun, and I'd rather keep it that way.

Good point. I never really thought of what a bike in Mario Kart really meant...mostly, because I wrote it off right away.

This is the thing. If the motorcycle controls completely different than the kart, then the game may have a second breathe. It might be something new and exciting. However....I get the feeling that the bike will control just like a cart and maybe if anything, be faster but easier to knock down by specials. Nothing special. I got to admit, I think Wii Fit is looking better than Mario Kart right now.

Meh, I've always loved the Mario Kart series. The bikes are a welcome addition for me, they aren't ruining the game at all, just adding onto it. If I recall, you can choose to use either a bike or kart. I, for one, can't wait to try both out with the Wiimote and play with my family and friends, which is a big tradition in my house with new Mario Kart games.  ;)

The day my family plays Mario Kart is the day I jump off a 2 story building, so I don't have that many good ppl around  me.

I live in the middle of nowhere. The only people that are going to ring my doorbell are Johavah's Witness. And in which case, I will answer the door in the buff and ask them to come in for a cup of their favorite drink to discuss matters more.
