    I saw this earlier on N4G but didn’t get a chance to post it. But i dont understand how the controls will be similar to excite truck when its supposed to be used with the wheel shell it comes with.

    I don’t understand what you don’t understand, Pwn.

    Excite Truck controls pretended like the Wiimote was part of a wheel. This wheel shell just adds the actual wheel in.

    Let me ask you guys this- do you think you will actually use the wheel or are you just going to use the wiimote?

    I think I’m going to ditch the wheel and just use the wiimote. I am interested in how I will be throwing out my power ups though…..(A button maybe…)

    Well, it does come bundled, so I guess I’ll end up with one anyway, but I’m just planning on using the Wiimote.

    Bah, you guys are boring. Use the wheel! I bought a wheel for Excite Truck and trust me, it feels a lot cooler :)

    I think i’m just confused. I haven’t played Excite Truck in a while.. but didn’t you hold it with the buttons facing up? Or did it matter?
