I think this title has the most options thus far on the Wii U, I'm just curious to see what others choose....

  • Gamepad (dual analog sticks)
  • Gamepad (tilt controls)
  • Wii U Pro Controller
  • Wiimote w Nunchuk
  • Wiiwheel

Wheelio. I beat all the expert ghosts in MKWii (Wheel) and MK7 (analog) and have never found a significant advantage either way. That said, I find the wheel to be about twice as fun. I twiddle around with analog sticks enough, the Wheel demands different muscles and is simply more engaging. Love the change of pace and hitting your line with the wheel is much more rewarding. I always embrace new, intuitive control schemes that make gaming more fun in some way.

I personally don't see why. I'm curious to know controller preference, myself, and I don't see why I would have to wade through pages of posts to ask a simple, pertinent question.

I'm hoping to use the tilt controls on the gamepad. If I can't seem to get a feel for it however, I'll default back to the analog sticks on the gamepad.

I'll start with the Gamepad (sticks) and see how that feels. If the sticks aren't as responsive as I'd like then I'll try Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

I'm going to try all the new controls! But, I'll probably default to either Wii Wheel or Pro Controller.

I'll just use my Gamepad for the offscreen, which I'm using a lot on Wii U lately. When I play on screen, maybe I'll use a Wiimote.

I'll most likely use the GamePad. I wonder if I can see what item my opponents that are far behind are getting while I'm leading the pack with that controller. Otherwise, I'll prefer the Wii U Pro Controller.

I'll do motion controls, first. Then I'll try Pro controller. Since this game supports motion+, it's pretty likely I'll just stay with the motion controls.

I'll try with tilt controls and at least see how that goes. I actually liked the Wii Wheel so I hope this works well.

I've tested GamePad (using the sticks) as well as the Nunchuck in the store demo. Will test all the other options when I have the actual game and then decide.

i'll try them all but right now if i'm doing 2 player it'd be more fair to use my pair of wiimote+chuks

edit: except for wii wheel, not gonna get one of those but i do plan on getting a Pro Controller soon

[Edited by foodmetaphors]

everything's good and it'll be that way forever!

Definitely Pro Controller.

gamepad, or otherwise nunchuk + wiiremote as that is what I have lying around. I'd be using pro controllers if buy 4 of them wasn't such a ripoff.

Gamepad(analog sticks) for me. Don't feel like spending the money on a pro controller right now, and have never been a fan of motion controls.

I'll switch between the analog on gamepad and pro controller. I hate motion controls on the last mario kart, probably hate these too.
