The Awesome Hori Mario Kart 8 Accessories Seem To Hit The Final Straight For North America

Still not available for pre-order here in Italy. I want those Wii wheels. My kid would go crazy on the Luigi one.

I like the Wii Wheel designs, but I the gamepad skins are just yuck.

That Luigi skin is mine!

Luigi skin FTW!

I already have the Wind Waker designed Gamepad, too BUT... I still want that red Mario Kart 8 Gamepad skin. I'll put it on my Gamepad whenever I play MK8

Luigi skin for me as well (unless a Peach or Rosalina one comes out, then my daughter will demand that).

I don't know about everyone else, but I hate the wheel (though these look nice). I play with wii remote/nunchuk.

I think the skins look awful personally

I'm definitely interested in the Wii wheels so I can match my Mario and Luigi remotes. Now only if they made one to match the zelda remote...

On Behalf Of The U.K, I'm Happy For All American Wii U Owners For This Awesome Accesory Pack, Enjoy Guys:)

@millarrp
The Zelda wheel is a Nintendo club reward as well as the nunchuk. I would want those also but they aren't cheap in ebay.

Nicee

@outburst There is a Zelda wheel?

I have a solid blue hori gamepad cover. Got it when Lego City Undercover came out, so my son doesn't get it too dirty. I'll be replacing it with one of these!

The skins look awful to me, I never like tacky stick on decals though so no suprise. The wheels look cool though ...if you play with the wheel that is!! All I want is a yoshi wiimote. How I wish they would release matching nunchucks some time......the yoshi one could look like an egg!?!

They really need to take new photos w/ the black Gamepads, the only white Gamepads in the US are in the Skylanders bundle, all the others are black.

The skins are hideous but the wheels are nice. Too bad I never use wheels, they make it impossible to control the game!

I'm mildly surprised that the Mario and Luigi wheels are made by Hori; although I know Nintendo and Hori have a great relationship, I figured Nintendo would simply add red or green dye to their own Wii Wheel. Since they're not, though, I'm glad Hori went the extra mile and added an embossed Starman on the front.

I've no interest in the skins, though. Not only are the many exposed areas just unattractive--arguably negating the purpose of the skin--I generally don't get branding my hardware with one game. The Wii Wheel makes sense since it'll pretty much be a Mario Kart 8 peripheral, but I use the Wii U Gamepad with everything (well, when I have to).

I don't even have Wii Wheels

The skins are a maybe. As @rjejr, I would like to see how they look on a black Gamepad, and I am too lazy to do a Photoshop of it.

Those wheels would look nice sitting next to the Mario & Luigi Wiimotes. Unfortunately, my little corner for video game collectibles is getting pretty full. Not sure how much more I can fit besides games. And while HORI is synonymous with quality (I ONLY use HORI brand cases for my handhelds), I usually only tend to collect official Nintendo-made products. Hmmm...

I'm undecided on either Mario or Luigi casing. The black gamepad currently seems rather boring so it's about time they released some of these over here.

Now this is what I am talking about. Been hoping for a MK8 jacket for my gamepad on this side of the shore, so I will definitely be picking some of these up, provided I still can't find my MKWii white wheel.

Yes I know it's a cheap gimmick but it actually does feel much better when you actually use the tilt controls.

I think I'd like to get the Mario skin for my GamePad.

@AshFoxX Me too

Do you guys know if the skin protects the screen with some kind of plastic as well or is it just to protect the gamepad?

This looks very cheap, if you ask me.

The skins don't look natural with the the way they are cut. Couldn't they have had the button labels on the skin to avoid confusion?

@FJOJR Excuse me if I'm wrong, the skins are hard plastic casing not stickers so It's more like a protector incase you drop them.

I Would Like To Suggest An Article, Gamexplain Have Done A Q And A Video And In It, They Confirm 4 Player Grand Prix Mode......

@Tobias95 no just a golden one like how the goldeneye 007 CCP is just gold...

@Tobias95 @Uberchu
Yeah sorry, I meant golden wii wheel like the golden nunchuk. It matches the zelda wiimote I think.

I wish Nintendo would put out M&L themed pro controllers, i want a red one!

So where are the gamepad covers available in Europe? Can't find them on Amazon.co.UK at all. Want the Mario one cause my black gamepad is so boring looking now

I have never been a fan of the steering wheel but the Luigi skin will look great on my game pad.

I think nintendo missed a trick not having changeable face plates for the wii u controller

Make a Rosalina themed steering wheel to fit the gamepad and then you'll have my money!

@sinalefa - If your Gamepad needs a cover I'm using this one in black over my black Gamepad. I tried a cheaper one but trashed it. I prefer the silicone covers rather than hard plastic cases, which is what these Hori covers look like to me.

@ULTRA-64 It's not sticky, it's a plasticy cover

June 30 release date for the US? Most people aren't going to wait, if they want a wheel- they'll go elsewhere...
