Ubisoft retails Wii wheel at $ 19.99

wiilLittle things mean big things. Nintendo’s Wii first came with a remote controller, the Wiimote, without which you won’t be able to play any Wii-compatible game. ‘Course, it would have to be a boring world if you play it without the nunchuck, so there goes another add-on.

However, you won’t be playing with your two hands all the time, as some shooter games require you to hold the remote and simultaneously control the nunchuck. That would be too inconvenient, wouldn’t it? So you need a “zapper“, which is a light gun-like holder for your Wiimote and nunchuck.

Now, how do you make a quick louie when playing racing games such as GT Pro Series and Monster 4×4 World Circuit? Easy, add another attachment to the Wiimote, say, a steering wheel, and you’re good to go! And you do that using Ubisoft‘s Wii add-on, the steering wheel. The wheel does look like any plastic contraption where you just stick the Wii controller in and twist it as you would a regular car steering wheel. For us, it does look a little ridiculous, but we’re sure it’s going to be really useful and a hell lot of fun when playing in fully simulated environments of these said racing games.

We’ve reported before that the Ubisoft’s wheel will be packaged with every Monster 4×4: World Circuit game. However, Ubisoft also intends to sell them separately as the Wiil is also compatible with non-Ubi games. Ubisoft will sell the steering wheel add-on at $ 19.99, while the Zapper’s selling price remains unconfirmed.  The GT Pro Series and Monster 4×4 World Circuit will sell for $ 49.99.
