Hori's Mario Kart 7 3DS Wheel Is UK-Bound

Sweet! Might get this after trying it!

Friday cant come soon enough

Wii wheel was fine, this is pointless and useless, first off, gyro steering will mess with the 3D, second off, incompatible with the CPP

But if you use the wheel to tilt your 3DS, the screen will be tilting to and fro. I couldn't handle that. At least with the wii wheel, the screen didn't move...I'm getting Mario Kart 7, but this peripheral I can live without!

Yeah I agree. Using the whole 3DS unit as a steering wheel seems difficult with the screen swaying back and forth.

If you remember the trailer, though, the angle of the screen changed as the player steered during first-person mode. Assuming it works, the player should be able to see the action at the same angle even as they turn the system. I plan to try it out at least once, personally.

I want to get one just to try it out and to say I've got it (It's cheap afterall), but can't find anywhere online selling it.

@4 Mario Kart 7 isn't compatable with the Circle Pad Pro, and why would any racing game that uses gyroscopic steering ever need it?

Interesting

The Wii wheel is a great accessory but this just looks stupid on a handheld.

To be honest, even though I hated the Wii Wheel, I was really hoping this was also going to be packaged in with this game, like Mario Kart Wii.

Can't hurt to try after all, right? I'll probably be getting it when I have money to burn, and then it'd just go displayed on my wall with my other Wii Wheel.

The thing I don't understand is that it's such a small amount of exterior plastic to add to the 3DS. Why not just without and save your money?

@Everyone_excited_for_this Are you friggin' serious? It's just a piece of plastic! You could play the game just as well without it. >.<

This looks so fricken stupid. How can anyone be excited for this garbage? Sorry but i swear some people will buy anything, especially if its backed by first party titles.

Getting because It'll look HILARIOUS when I play MK7 in restaurants.

Ugh. I find that wheel unbecoming.

/me places the 3DS on her steering wheel while navigating the freeway.

@9 She meant she wants it on while playing, you know, just keeping it on there so she doesn't lose it or for convenience's sake.

Well all the kids under 6 will be getting this.

this doesnt look very good. It would be easier just to use the. I seams like the wheel would just make it harder because your fingers are farther away from the buttons
@19 yes, this is for the small kids who dot know much. though I do think it would be interesting to try, but I don't want to buy it.

wonder how this connect up to the 3ds?

@Mariokart7fan: from the box art, it looks like the 3DS sits down into the wheel — looks like it's for the gyroscopic steering. :3

Is this really necessary? I'd like to see somebody try using this accessory with the 3D feature turned on...

um ok yes just like da wii but i bet the UK is havn dat becauze the game haz gyro sensor mode so it will be cool to have it.its like a 3ds is a wii or 3DWii lol XD.
