Wii GT Pro Series Steering Wheel Attachment

gt - Image 2What’s so special about the GT Pro Series aside from the fast cars, cel-shaded style, stunning graphics and gameplay? Well, it’s the very first to have a Wiimote peripheral that’s not developed by Nintendo and specifically designed for the game: the steering wheel. BUT before we get into that, let’s go over some of the other important game details via IGN’s interview with Tats Myoio, Associate Producer of the GT Pro Series, shall we?

Gameplay Modes:

Championship mode – the classic one where you race with others to get to higher levels and get to unlock cars, parts, and tracks. You may have to use specific cars for some of the series.

Quick Race – as the name implies, just go out into the track and race any unlocked car of your choice.

Time Attack – race without competition with the option of creating a ghost and racing against it.

Versus mode – allows you and three of your friends to race on the same track via split-screen.

Drift mode – similar to Time Attack but with the goal of creating as much drift combinations as you can.

Replay – you can save and view any of your races.

Cars, Cars, Cars: Cars in the lineup are all Japan-made: ASL, Daihatsu, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mitsuoka, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota. The game will also have Skyline R34 GT-R, RX-7 and Lancer Evolution, as well as a wide variety of cars from exotics to minivans. There will also be 11 different upgrades to customize and enhance the looks and performance of every car.

GT Pro Series as a Drift Racer?: Tats Myoio says nope, because you won’t be forced to drift race, it’s only an option in the game. The Drift Mode requires you to make as many drift combos as possible but it’s not required in completing the game. In this sense, Tats says that GT Pro Series is designed to please both drifters and non-drifters.

Tilting the wheel will also tilt the wiimote and the steering wheel further adds to the whole driving experience of gamers. Aside from GT Pro, the wheel will also be compatible with another Ubisoft Wii title, Monster 4×4: World Circuit. IGN also notes that Excite Truck, Cars, and the racing portions of Sponge Bob will work with the wheel attachment.

What GT Pro Series won’t have/support: Unfortunately, there will be no progressive-scan feature in the game as well as online features. What the game will have though, is the multiplayer mode on one console. As for the WiiConnect24 download service, Tats did not confirm anything about GT Pro making use of the service for downloadable contents.
