I don't like the wheel.
I think that's because I have Excite Truck, and Excite Truck has the same exact controls as Mario Kart, except I learned it without using the wheel.
I have a friend who is pissing me off. HE's a hardcore gamer, as in, he loves anything that puts him behind a gun and he shoots aliens or other people. He played my Wii and loved Wii Sports. I told him not to bother with the system though, it's not for hardcore gamers.
He goes out, buys the system the next day. He then buys several games for the system, including Twilight Princess. He calls me up, pissed off that he needs to swing the Wiimote around to use the sword.
I remind him that the games are for beginners, and not hardcore gamers like himself. Especially lazy hardcore gamers like him. I tell him he's overthinking the controls, and needs to take a step back, and rethink them.
Yesterday he called up, pissed off about Mario Kart, cause he can't figure out the controls. My girlfriend, who doesn't play games, can figure out the controls. I tell him, you lean the Wiimote left to go left, and lean the Wiimote right to go right. He still gets pissed off, and then proceeds to yell at me, telling me that Nintendo is a bunch of idiots, and they are stupid, and all this stuff. I hanged up on him.
He calls me later, telling me that he's using the Gamcube controller, and it's 90 times better than the Wiimote.
I hate bigots.
In other news, my Wii may need to shipped back to Nintendo for repairs. I think my lens needs cleaning. Sometimes games will freeze in the loading screen.
