This would make sense if you actually had to feed the thing through your hands like a steering wheel. To mount the gamepad (or wiimote) on a steering wheel-like stand serves only to highlight how unlike a steering wheel the motion control options are.
@rjejr Unless... unless it was scheduled to come out a week later than the other formats, and has been pushed back a week, making it two weeks. If that's the case, then Damo is right.
@Nintenjoe64 Uhh... no. This looks and plays much more like Famicom Wars, which is a much earlier title. You might not have heard of it because it only came out in Japan.

Re: Each Splatoon amiibo Will Unlock 20 Special Challenges
Great, more content locked out with toys. Nintendo have become a shining example of industry worst practice.
Re: GAME Launches UK Pre-Orders for Splatoon amiibo and New Wave for Super Smash Bros.
@Sir_JBizzle I think that makes Nintendo the scum of the earth. Their strategies to create scarcity are indefensible.
Re: Not Everyone is Thrilled That Metroid Prime Trilogy Lands on the Wii U eShop Tomorrow
What I took from this article is: tools are impossible to please.
Re: Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition Confirmed for Wii U and 3DS
Great, more stuff that came out years ago on another platform.
Re: Handle Stand Adds Steering Wheelosity to Your Wii U GamePad
This would make sense if you actually had to feed the thing through your hands like a steering wheel. To mount the gamepad (or wiimote) on a steering wheel-like stand serves only to highlight how unlike a steering wheel the motion control options are.
Re: Mario Kart Month: Keeping the Mario Kart 8 Race Going With DLC
Please don't speculate about this kind of thing, because it only gives Nintendo ideas.
Re: Mario Will Be Racing In Reality At This Weekend's History 300 At Charlotte Motor Speedway
I am finding it difficult to see past the GameStop logo.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Tomodachi Life: Welcome Version, Two Gift Codes With Each Retail Copy
This turns me off a bit.
Re: ESRB Rating Reveals Some Cheeky Passwords in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
Can't wait.
Re: Wacky Physics-Based Puzzler Gravity Badgers Releasing 29th May
@dumedum
so many ports on Wii U... can't keep track.
Fixed that for you.
Re: Here Are Five New Retail Titles Coming to Wii U
Shovelware, then.
Re: Preview: Swords & Soldiers HD
Do we actually want another port of this game? I'm pretty sure I don't.
Re: Ultra Rare Ocarina of Time Prototype Reportedly Surfaces on eBay, Costs £100,000
Difficult to verify. It has been quantified.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Kirby: Triple Deluxe eShop Deal, Get Kirby's Dream Land 2 Free
@Ralek85 You're right, it is ambiguous.
Re: Renegade Kid Moving On To A "New Experimental 2D Game for 3DS" After Kickstarter Failure
The problem wasn't the cults, it was that the debacle was really badly handled from the get-go!
Re: Mario Golf: World Tour’s DLC Isn't Locked Away in the Main Game
Day one DLC may as well be on the cartridge. The point is that the complete game, as it exists at launch, is divided across the cartridge and DLC.
Re: Cult County Kickstarter Ends Without Success, Developer "Discussing Other Options"
Yeah, that's a point. The game didn't seem spooky so much as empty!
Re: Cult County Kickstarter Ends Without Success, Developer "Discussing Other Options"
I'm not surprised! Renegade Kid alienated their fanbase in a Ubisoft type move. I have no sympathy.
Re: Upcoming Child of Light Patch to Rename Difficulty Settings
Casual is loaded with a lot of really negative connotations. I think this is a mistake.
Re: Weirdness: This Monster Hunter Fan Will Keep You Cool On Those Epic Quests
@AyeHaley It does indeed resemble a ph*llus!
Re: Month of Kirby: The Uncopyable and Vital Mascot
Because inimitable is too obvious a word.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai's Latest Super Smash Bros. Screen is for All You Mega Man Fans
This isn't a new Mega Man game!
Re: Nintendo Confirms The Mario Kart 8 Premium Pack – Special Edition Wii U Hardware Bundle
It is a Wii U bundle. It is a special edition bundle. But it is not a special edition Wii U!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Must Take Careful Steps Into Paid DLC and Free-to-Play
Day one DLC is certainly a careless step that can only create bad feeling.
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Its Mario Golf: World Tour DLC Courses and Characters
I can't condone this.
Re: Turtle Tale Slowly Moves Closer to the eShop on 3DS and Wii U
It is an amazing oversight that there is no mention in the article of how eye-meltingly terrible these screenshots truly are.
Re: Review: F-Zero Maximum Velocity (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
It is disappointing how Nintendo keep shovelling this out and withholding GP Legend, which is a much bigger and better game.
Re: Turtle Tale Slowly Moves Closer to the eShop on 3DS and Wii U
My eye is very far from this one.
Re: Talking Point: Amazon Fire TV is an Early Warning for Console Heavyweights
Home taping is killing music.
Re: Pure Chess
Day one DLC was a distasteful move. I might otherwise have been interested.
Re: Ex Oblivione is a 2D Action Horror RPG Coming Exclusively to Wii U
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I know it.
Re: Nintendo Provides Some Context to 2013's Tomodachi Life Same-Sex Marriage Controversy
This is a satisfying explanation which clears up a lot of misconceptions.
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Upcoming Golden Sun and F-Zero GBA Wii U Virtual Console Releases
Maximum Velocity is the worst GBA F-Zero title. GP Legend rendered it completely redundant. I can not see why I should be interested.
Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Christina Aguilera as a Guest Celebrity in Tomodachi Life
I remember that song, almost.
Re: Wii U Version Of LEGO: The Hobbit Taking Slightly Longer To Go There And Back Again In North America
@rjejr Unless... unless it was scheduled to come out a week later than the other formats, and has been pushed back a week, making it two weeks. If that's the case, then Damo is right.
Re: Weirdness: Could This Be The Pokémon FPS That Nintendo Fans Have Always Wanted?
This was really terrible. This destroyed me.
Re: Subtle Character Design Changes Spotted for North American Version of Azure Striker Gunvolt
I feel that the lighter coloured lightning was a poor localisation decision.
Re: Nintendo Registers An Intriguing S.T.E.A.M Trademark For A New Game
I'm guessing some sort of Valve will be used to regulate the pressure of this Steam?
Re: Auditions Open for Pokémon Championship Commentators
I can't wait to see some of these painfully nerdy audition videos. No doubt many of them will end up on r/cringe.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
No doubt the stream is going to crash, as always. I'll watch it the next day, or just read the digest.
Re: Review: Advance Wars (Wii U eShop)
@Nintenjoe64 Uhh... no. This looks and plays much more like Famicom Wars, which is a much earlier title. You might not have heard of it because it only came out in Japan.
Re: Interview: Renegade Kid Discusses Its Cult County Kickstarter Adventure, With Wii U Included
I was interested in this when it was to be a 3DS title.
Re: Walmart's Mickey 3DS XL Will Sell for $199.96, Does Not Include Game
I don't think it matters a great deal if it comes with a game or not.
Re: Twisted Fusion Joins the Kickstarter Ranks, Will be a Wii U Exclusive if Funded
Also, the hitboxes seem pretty messed up.
Re: Twisted Fusion Joins the Kickstarter Ranks, Will be a Wii U Exclusive if Funded
Shoot stuff from a safe distance, wait for it to die. This looks like a chore to play.
Re: Australian Ratings Board Reveals Portable Castlevania and More F-Zero for Wii U's GBA Virtual Console
GP Legend is pretty much my go-to portable F-Zero game. It's great.
Re: Modern Final Fantasy Tracks Confirmed For Theatrhythm: Curtain Call
This separation between 'classic' and 'modern' seems pretty arbitrary to me.
Re: Advance Wars Bringing the Battle to the Wii U Virtual Console on 3rd April
Day 1 purchase
Re: LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids Confirmed for a 3DS Arrival This Summer
I am unmoved.
Re: Pure Chess DLC Will Be Available Day One, And Won't Cost As Much As You Think
Great, day one DLC.
